Is Passive Income Really "Passive"?

If you have been researching about affiliate marketing, you will see that some people highly recommend affiliate marketing as one of the best passive income source you can enjoy. Is that for real?

Base on my understanding of the business, the comment is both real and unreal.

Confused? Let me explain.

Firstly, to the contrary of some said, internet or affiliate marketing is as real as an offline business where you can build your income. Operating your business online doesn't make it any different than the conventional store you go to buy your stuff.

And over the years, many people have changed their fate with this business. I have seen people started with debt in this business and with their determination, they have built a future so bright that they themselves have never imagined that.

There are also people who bumped into internet or affiliate marketing accidentally, saw its potential, took the opportunity and build their enormous income online. They are ordinary people like you and me. Since they have done it, what is limiting you from enjoying the same?

Then, for online marketing to be really profitable to you as a passive income, you will have to invest time, determination and commitment into the business and that make up the unreal part of the business.

Personally, this passive income source need to be build to become the before you can truly make money in your sleep. I have sacrificed my sleep just to studies the ebook about the business, crank my head for ideas to create the proper offer to my list members and constantly look for ways to help the members too.

As Joe Vitale (a very successful internet marketer) reveal in his book, The Attractor Factor: 5 Easy Steps for Creating Wealth (or Anything Else) From the Inside Out, "After all, we work at home and would prefer not to be interrupted. I could be doing a radio show by phone, or Nerissa might be editing a video project. Our home is usually buzzing with activity."1

So you see, a successful internet marketer like him is also busy building his online business. How can you lay back while building your internet or affiliate marketing business?

So, you can buy into the words that internet and affiliate marketing is the most profitable passive income source, you shall not, however, take the business lightly and thought that you can leave the business to grow on its own.

Create your success,
