I agree with your point about blog quality. I like your blog.

Being able to write for the masses in a timeless fashion is a great way to make a passive income online. Great advice!

finally someone who shares the same perspective as me on this issue, I write only when I feel inspired to write something new, if a new idea comes to me or a topic that I am sure will definately help someone to get closer to their goal and live a better life. I find that is the only way I can enjoy the whole blogging thing otherwise it feels too much like work and if you take the joy and fun out of the process the content will be boring and uninspiring.

[...] Lee of Genius Types asked the question, "Is Blogging Income Passive Income?", just a week or so ago. In his analysis, there is no such thing as 100 percent passive [...]

Brian,
I am growing more and more to really love this blog. What you said about creativity being a driving force behind what you do is refreshing. I started to a website and more recently a blog about bulk vending. Vending is my passion, but I am also learning I love to write creatively to help others develop passive income.

I feel the same way that my writing should not HAVE to be every single day in a cookie-cutter approach. It should come out of creative purpose (genius!). Keep up the good work!

Yes so true! Blogging is just only a medium in all facets of life. Through blogging we can express our ideas or opinions towards the matter. A lot of blogs are perusal on other people’s ideas, but sometimes you come across something new, interesting, brilliant and beautiful that this idea would never had seen the light of day if mainstream media was the only place you could publish your idea for the world to see.

I gained lots of personal development through blogging as well. I will bookmark this site for my future use. It is indeed very helpful to us.

God, I wish I had written this post. It is the most honest, straight forward, meaningful post I have ever read about Blogging. It is truly a breath of fresh air – a rare Picaso!

Thanks for the insight on writing lasting content. As for me , I try to post daily as I want to track my personal growth and maturity in my writing. It all goes back to the purpose of the blog and the target audience. I got so much to learn from seasoned bloggers like yourself. Thanks

Your blog rocks! I am building a vending route, my wife does Avon, and we both are trying to create passive income……….I LOVE passive income!

So far blogging, to me, has been an item of personal achievement. I love the forum and ability to get my thoughts published at my whim. It’s also great to rally like-minded, talented people to your venture.

I’m definitely a fan of multiple streams of income, and blogging is certainly not the most passive or lucrative form. However, it’s fun if you write about what you love, and helps introduce you to some awesome folks all over the planet!

Then again, my site is fairly new and certainly not geared towards income generation. In fact, I’ve turned down several decent income offers, particularly from junk affiliates that would have degraded the integrity of my work. I guess what I really need is expert advice on how to increase blog income!

I’m always up for constructive feedback…

Creating a website and blog has helped my speaking career but I am reluctant to drift into the realm of full-time blogger. There are many advantages of bogging for writers and speakers (aside from the income) but it is true that blogs that post daily usually lack the consistant kind of quality that first attracted me to them. Great post!

Blogging isn’t a passive form of income at all. If you stop posting regularly, then you will lose your subscribers and readers and your ad revenues will decrease over time to close to zero.

Hi Brian;
Found your blog through another blog post and this article caught my eye as passive income is such buzz word.

You are right there are so many blogs out there with their main focus is making money and not necessarily providing quality content. Also like your site, nice and clean design and not full of advertisement that you usually see. Well done.

I like your website and was enjoying the content on this site for quite a while. Now your not updating the articles anymore it seems to be a lot less interesting

First you had a 2nd and even seen a first! position in google for the words “passive income” and now (i got to page 6) i can’t even find this site for those words.

Don’t get me wrong here this is a great site with great content but i will not come back if it is not updated anymore. I would rather see duplicated content on this site than this.

Keep up the good work! (even if it is meant to be passive income)

Good article.

I know you weren’t talking about tax purposes, but I know that for income tax purposes it would most definitely NOT be passive income.

The blogger is actively involved in the activity. I think a better term than passive income might be residual income.
