my main passive income comes from stocks that since they are down now pay larger than normal dividends. For instance as the stock prices go down the yield goes up, this also acts as a support level for the stock due to the fact that as the yield gets above about 5% usually the buyers come in. However this is not for everyone and you will see some stocks with yields of 10-15% these are stocks of what I consider broken companies and I don’t reccomend them for investment.

I have an affiliate site that I spend about 5 minutes a week updating and brings me in now over $1000 per month. The domain is now over 5 years old and has gotten indexed very well in google. It is the one income stream I am generating that is almost completely passive. I have a couple of stocks in my Stock Portfolio that I am going to start expanding over the next year. I hope this could potentially become close to passive as I would spend maybe a couple hours a week monitoring it and doing the homework required to maintain it.

I think there are different degrees of passive income. For instance, CDs and bonds could be considered passive income even though the interest is relatively small.

Rent from real estate and blogging income from advertising is usually larger, but you have to put a lot more work into getting these off the ground.

In general, I think there’s a direct relationship between the size of the passive income, and the amount of work necessary to create it. So in that sense, it might not be entirely passive.

I’m trying to do it now through my blog!

I hear that blogs sell for a P/E of around 2. In other words, it sells for two times annual earnings. Granted, blogs are a new way to make money “passively”, but it suggests that the risk of not having the price earned back is rather large. Essentially, buyers are demanding a 50% yield, which is somewhere between sub prime and payday loans. Conversely, bonds and stocks tend to sell at 5% [earnings] yields which indicates that they are safer and more passive because they require less monitoring/effort.

Passive income would be awesome. I am a proof of concept type of guy. I have done my reasearch and I realize that blogging is not a get rich quick scheme. But the thing is I am starting to enjoy blogging and communicating with people, even though for the most part it has been writing about topics I am interested in.

So what does proof of concept mean to me. Well first generate enough site traffic. If I see a steady increase month over month, that is the first step. I am still motivated. Now assuming I have reached X number of visits per day, then I will start implementing adsense.

So basically learn to walk before run approach to passive income.
