Making Money Through Passive Income

Updated on October 9, 2022

For the people who want to venture into using the internet, especially bloggers, there’s great hype on earning money through passive income. Everybody is searching for a viable way of making money on the internet.

What is a passive income? Unlike earning by taking up a 9-5 job or any activity that will make you money by trading your time and effort, earning passive income has a different deal where you initially need to invest your time and effort to create systems that will generate money even without your physical presence, even while you are taking a nap.

However, this is easier said than done.

A lot of online entrepreneurs do have aspirations to create and earn from passive income, yet they don’t even make a substantial amount enough to make a living. Frustrations and disappointments are not uncommon. This sad reality for business-minded folks who want to give a shot at venturing on the World Wide Web often happens. How could this be possible?

The main reason is that a lot of people want to make money from passive income, but the value they are creating isn’t proportional to the amount of money they want to earn. They are more focused on how they can earn money than how they can make value that can grab the attention of prospective markets.

What you really need is to focus on how to create a product that can be passively appreciated by a target market. But the value you tend to produce can’t be genuinely useful if you didn’t have the sincere heart to produce it in the first place. For a songwriter, writing a song could be very easy, but writing an ear-catching song that can touch the hearts of potential listeners is another thing. In everything you do, you really need to do what you love if you’re really wanted to earn from it. This is a problem if making money is your primary focus. Trying to monetize for the sake of earning big bucks is a weak mindset.

Creating a passive value should be your main focus if you wanted to earn from streams of passive income systems. How can you create passive value? If you can identify what you can do best, perhaps you’re a great guitar player, have excellent dexterity in making one-of-a-kind crafts, or are a spontaneous writer. Then you will know that these are your potential sources to create passive value.

Being money motivated alone as your primary mindset can mislead you into creating passive value. Be a master of your own domain first and learn to express what you do best. This will be your best source for creating passive value.

While kick-starting a passive income stream, don’t worry about making money at first, especially if your initial investment is dirt cheap, like purchasing a self-hosted website. Just create something that you feel is a benefit to other people. Be happy and generously express these values, even for free at first.

Of course, in order for you to identify if the value you are creating can potentially be monetized, you need to wait for the feedback of the market you are trying to reach out. If that value gets rejected, don’t be disheartened. Treat it as a blessing. If it wasn’t good enough, at least you’ll know it upfront, and that’s a good thing. It is an opportunity to tweak and improve it and make it a great product.

Once you’ve completed the groundwork, you’re on your journey toward the road to success in earning money through passive income.
