Why are you really here?
The obvious answer would be to read Pat’s excellent content, but I want you to dig a little deeper. Why is it that you spend so much time reading blogs each day looking for new nuggets of knowledge that you can hopefully apply to your online ventures?
The reason I ask is because introspection is the one of the most important things you can do to build a profitable business. Online or offline. I know that many of you will run successful projects online already and are here to take things to the next level, but I know others use resources like this as a way to procrastinate and try to have everything perfect before you actually start taking action.
I know, as I used to do the same thing.

This is the last guest post in queue before I start writing again. I’m happy to say that this is a guest post from Maria, founder of the Residual Income Web Blog. She is also the author of the infamous eHow eBook which I personally used to drastically increase my ehow earnings, and she has a lot more projects underway as well. Here is a wonderful article from Maria about increasing your residual income with content sites.
I began my passive income adventure by writing content articles for a large website that had recently started a user-driven content section. When I started writing these short SEO (search engine optimized) articles, I had no idea what – if anything – they would earn. I certainly didn’t image they would be the start of something big and even lead to a paradigm shift in my freelance writing career.
For many established online writers and Internet marketers, writing content for other sites is something that simply doesn’t occur to them; and for new online writers starting out, going for a sure thing – selling content for a flat rate – is more attractive than the unknowns of writing for residuals.
However, it is my experience that revenue-sharing content sites can be a significant income generator for virtually all online writers and marketers, whether newbies and seasoned professionals. In most cases, the income is truly passive once the articles are written – the page rank and internal linking system on the sites is often all that’s needed to get content indexed by search engines and found by those searching for the information you’ve shared.

So, I’m back from my Honeymoon! Yay! But, there are still two more guests posts lined up that I would like to share with you before I write my February Income Report. I’m in the middle of moving into a new apartment, so by the time I finish, I will have time to come back full strength to The Smart Passive Income Blog.
This is a guest post from Michael, who is president of Prosperity Real Estate Investments, a real estate investment company that mainly does business in Canada, but his information can be used throughout the entire world. Feel free to visit his website at www.prosperityinvestments.ca, or signup for his newsletter if you’re interested in real estate investing.
I’ve been a subscriber to Pat’s Blog for only a few months and my interest to his blog is looking at other sources/opportunities of creating passive income probably not much different then many of you. I am not an online marketing guru but I’m absolutely interested in learning how I can integrate some of Pat’s suggestions into my Real Estate Investment business.
When Pat offered the opportunity to write on his blog,I thought I’d share some of my experiences of creating passive income hoping that it may benefit you in your business or venture.

Here is a guest post from Steve at Personal Finance Startup. As a writer of this relatively newer blog on the blogosphere, Steve presents some really wonderful articles about all apsects of personal finance that I thoroughly enjoy.
Pat was the first person to bring to my attention the ability to generate streams of passive income from online ventures. His LEED ebook success and informational blog has inspired me to brainstorm numerous online ventures of my own with the hope of replicating his success. Pat’s LEED ebook generates the majority of his income, however, his pursuit of eHow earnings, iphone apps and affiliate marketing shows his desire to diversify his passive income. He’s fortunate enough to have an income stream that most likely won’t dry up in the near future as green architecture is a growing field.

Here is a quick guest post by Andy from Tight Fisted Miser. He is just starting his eHow empire, but has come across a technique that you may find helpful as well.
I started writing for eHow shortly after I started reading Smart Passive Income. I’ve just dabbled in it so far but the last two months have convinced me that eHow is a great way to make passive income and that I need to devote more time to writing eHow articles.
I’ve written a total of five articles for eHow. My eHow earnings have been $0.31 for November 2008, $3.08 for December 2008, and $2.47 for January 2009. Those results are not too impressive and you’re probably wondering why I am convinced that eHow could be a great way for me to make passive income.

Again, I’m still in Hawaii on my Honeymoon! Here is a guest post by Craig from The Movie Banter. He is a young man who is a Dreamer – which I believe is one of the most important elements of succeeding online. Dream big, and good things have a chance of happening. Craig is on his way.
When Pat graciously allowed me the opportunity to write a guest post for his blog, I wasn’t sure how I could help out at first. I have learned a lot from him, but am no where at the point of my life where I could really offer useful tips to anyone, whether it be about passive income or in general. I am only 23 and first getting a taste of work experience, haven’t worked on passive income. But then it struck me like Marv being hit by a bunch of blocks from Kevin McCallister in Home Alone 2. If I could choose my dream way of gaining passive income, what would it be?
My dream method would be to write a best seller novel, and then sell it off to Hollywood. This of course is easier said than done, but if I’m dreaming, why not reach for the stars, right? I know writing a book is a goal of a lot of people, but I have thought about my process in detail about getting it from idea to DVD’s. This is my quick adventure to turn passive income into reality.
The book would be called “The Boys Court” a coming of age tail of a group of boys enjoying one last summer adventure together before they head off to college, then tragedy strikes changing one of the boy’s lives forever. I’ve even written the first chapter, but have not had the patience to get any more done. Can’t give away more though, just in case I get on myself to get to it.

This is a Guest Post from RJ Weiss. RJ is an aspiring financial planner, who runs his own website, Our Financial Planner.
Passive income doesn’t have to stop once the money is earned. Wouldn’t it be nice to earn passive income, off passive income?
This step isn’t for beginners. If your passive income isn’t enough to cover your bills, continue using this website for guidance to get you there.
Since the title of this blog is Smart Passive Income, this post will show you the most efficient way of turning passive income into more passive income.
The probable structure of your business, being that you’re a “solopreneur,” allows you to receive an extraordinary tax break, plus a great investment opportunity. Due to your structure, you’re allowed to create and design your own retirement plan, known as an Individual or Solo 401K.

I’m away on my honeymoon in Hawaii! I’d like to thank Jen from The Green Ninja for the following guest post. Jen is a freelance writer who writes creative and unique material about writing online and always provides interesting reads. Check it out!
I am a geek. I know this about myself. I am passionate about all aspects of being a total and complete nerd. Science, astronomy, physics – you name it and I want to read/talk/play a board game about it.
When another geek is spotted within a hundred foot range, tractor beams activate somewhere and suddenly there we are, talking excitedly in high pitched voices about the Large Hadron Collider or the new science related bill that has reached Congress. My eyes light up and my arms wave around quite a bit. This is called passion.

Are you one of those people who are curious about creating passive income, but are still unsure of the potential it can provide to you? Springtime is right around the corner, so what better time to talk about how creating passive income is just like growing a new lawn. That may seem like a strange comparison, but one that is very similar when you break down the steps.
About a year ago, I was one of those people who were curious about passive income creation. I had always been fascinated reading about people making a career out of building this form of income without relying on a 9 to 5 job. I finally decided to dive into it head first. While I have been successful along the way, there are a few things I wish I had done differently during the last 12 months. If I had the steps identified below in front of me last year – I would probably be a lot further along than I am today. Hopefully some people can use these steps to build a successful passive income portfolio – or a healthy lawn!
