Many people want to make money blogging using a “set-it-and-forget-it” methodology. I call that “passive residual income”–income that continues 24/7/365 even when you pay no attention to the site.

For example, one of the sites I have for sale right now will earn about $2,000.00 over the next year just from affiliate links without anyone lifting a finger to make it happen. That’s passive, residual income. (If you don’t yet have any sites doing this, buy it now.)

It takes about 10 hours to set up a site, put up content and get it good position with Google–do one a week and in a year you can have a passive, residual income over $100,000.00.

    6. This one is a whole book in itself. There are lots of tutorials out there on how to get it done.

Put these five tips to work and you will start seeing those checks rolling in. Try it, it will make you money.
