Which Passive Income Opportunities Are Really the Most Passive

Passive income opportunities seem like the ULTIMATE path to financial freedom. I mean, who wouldn’t want to get paid over and over again without having to work? When you’re no longer trading your time for money, you have a lot more time on your hands that you can spend however you like.

Even better, you feel so much more relaxed and stress free.

But are passive income opportunities really the road to ultimate freedom?

I actually don’t think so.

I know that’s a weird thing for me to admit because a good portion of my income is passive. Let me explain why:

Passive Income Opportunities

 Are Never 100% Completely Passive.

All residual income systems will diminish over time if you don’t maintain it from time to time.

For example, if you have a website generating you passive cash, it will eventually receive less and less traffic over time if you just leave it alone. Your competitors may out rank you in the search engines, or your site may just naturally lose traffic because of outdated content.

The good news is, it doesn’t take much work to maintain these passive income sites. That’s why the internet is full of great passive income opportunities. Click here to read my guide on how to make passive income with Adsense in 2012.

This also applies to passive income opportunities that are not just online.

Another popular way to make passive income is real estate. If you’re renting out property that you own, you get to collect monthly checks from your tenants. While this is a great way to make money without working, you’ll need to fix things here and there.

But all passive income opportunities are not created equal. While they all require some sort of maintenance work, some require a lot more than others.

In my experience, the most “passive” business is information marketing…

One of the Best Passive Income

Opportunities is Information Marketing

If you can create an ebook or some sort of informational product, you can sell it as many copies as you want without any overhead charge or extra work. The internet and automation makes it entirely possible. Initially, you’ll need to spend some time on marketing, but if you’re smart about it, you’ll have an affiliate program and get other people to promote your products.

This dramatically increases the passivity of your business. All you need to do is customer support (which you can easily outsource nowadays) and continue to create new products (assuming you want to grow your business).

Without a doubt, publishing information online is one of the best passive income opportunities that anyone can start. The biggest roadblock is actually creating the information product and doing the initial marketing. Once that’s taken care of, you can sit back, relax, and watch as cash is automatically deposited into your bank account.
