How can I earn a measly $1 a day in passive in income?

That's very doable. - Most people think of earning a big income at the start and NEVER think of starting small and scaling up. So, yes that is very doable indeed..

Two very doable ideas to earn $1 a day.

Have you taken action yet?

Hi Sue,

Thanks for the advice. The actions you described are not passive. The moment I stop doing them, the money stops coming.
I noticed the link to your blog is broken - is the site down or you you have a typo in it?

1$ a day, passive, Adsense.

I was glad to see this response by you as you are correct, few ideas presented were "passive".

Here is why I would go with Adsense if I were you.

You can produce aaaaaaany content you want and adsense will find something to slap on your page.

You can take it a step further and do some research into which niches will pay better per click.

1. Get yourself some cheap hosting.
2. Setup a wordpress blog.
3. Start posting steadily.

Put your head down at this point and just post. Don't put adsense on the site yet. Don't even look at your traffic(ofcourse you won't really be able to resist checking). The point is, it takes a while, but you'll get traffic.

Post slow and steady. One or two posts a day. Maybe three if you have time. But don't go crazy. Skip a day every couple weeks even.

Google works hard to make sure you are legit. Don't go crazy with backlinking or posting too often or google will figure you out and A. you won't get your traffic and B. you'll wind up getting your adsense account shut down.

Be real.

Offer something valuable and write original content.

Keep it up.

Do keyword research for some posts. For some, just write off the top of your head in your niche.

You'll be shocked by what google sends you traffic for.

After a few months, put your adsense ads on the page.

Don't be in a hurry. You are building a loooooong term passive income stream. Who cares if you lose the first few months moolah. Google will love you for it. I believe this early start with no monetization lets Google know you are not greedy.

Now, down the road, you'll want more than a buck a day.

You can start more blogs to raise that daily income.

Or you can start moving into other more valuable forms of monetization like affiliate links or even your own products depending on your niche.

Have fun and if there is anything I can do to help, drop me a line.

Good Luck!

By the way. I have one blog that was built like a piece of junk. I used scraped content, images, yahoo answers posts and loaded it up with a tool in about 20 minutes.

I get 1200 uniques per month on that site.

It produces 8-10 a month.

Realize, I have not touched that site in over 2.5 years and it's still producting 8-10 a month.

I'm telling you, if you build your site like I described above, you will get your $1 a day.

100% commissions is where it's at. Seriously, this has made the difference for me. My own website for people interested in self-publishing has this model, and a couple other things I'm involved with do as well. It just makes sense. Refer 1 person, make your money back. Refer 2, 3, 4, etc, and it's all profit (ongoing profit when it's a monthly membership site.

Yes, content ideas in particular, in fact. I'm a freelance writer by profession.

I'd never heard of short kindle stories before. I might try that one at some point. Thanks!

I think Tiptopcat's said it all! No complicated stuff! Squidoo and hubpages are great! You could open an amazon affiliate account if you don't have one yet and start creating review pages! Ghostwriting gigs are good too! You can build a couple of squidoo lenses up about your services if content writing is something you can do!

All the best!

So not passive. It's slave labor. I do it every once in a while to keep me humble. So so so don't do it. hehe

From what I see OP is asking for PASSIVE income!

I agree.

A $1 in passive income? Are you kidding me. You can't even take a shower with that kind of income.

Your goal should be more then that. How about, for your first goal, $10 per day. That would make you $300 per month. Once you reach that goal you can than go higher and work towards $20. Then when you reach that, go onto $50 per day.

What kindle book subjects did you write?

It looks like you're trying to win 'cool points' yourself, big fella.

Earning $1 a day is a corny goal. There is not a person alive in the developed world who is going to wake up in the morning and stay motivated by a dream of earning 100 pennies.

"If I only work my ass off today I'll have $1 by the end of the day."

Thank you, for getting it.

They laugh now, but I'll be laughing all the way to the bank. A more satisfying laugh.

$1 is obviously not my end point to those who weren't intelligent enough to figure that out. It was a starting point. :rolleyes:

Yup, I just started doing that and I'm from East Europe, I have been told 1000 times how much I suck in grammar, but I still get sales on Kindle and I don't do anything. It's truly passive. And if you are good with English you will probably do better then us.

I think there are numerous methods, you find in this forum where you can earn money but for a beginner, I think following would be easy way:-

1. Write a Interesting Squidoo Lens (squidoo.com), add Amazon Module, you can earn more than just $1/day.
2.You purchase a Bookmarking software like onlywire, offer Bookmarking service in Fiverr.com. I earned good amount through this method.
3. If you are good writer than writing articles would fetch good money...in fiverr.com and Warrior hire etc..

Well, as I see there have been many good suggestions here already.

I think that the best way to start with no investment now is:
1. Pick about 10 good evergreen niches.
2. Pick products for these niches from Clickbank.
3. Select the keywords (5-10 / product)
4. Build free squidoo, tumblr, stumbleupon and FB pages for these products/niches.
5. Build Youtube channels for all the niches.
6. Make YT videos with links to your sites.
7. Make money - $0 costs!

You are bumping an OLD thread - and answering comments made last year.

Not a good practice on a forum.

They just keep coming out of the woodwork!!!

Thanks everyone for an entertaining read.

When you DO find that $1 a day PASSIVE income method, write a report about it and post it as your signature for the Warrior Forum and start another viral post like this one to make another $1 a day.

It's also not passive income, which is what the OP was asking for.

Anytime you can offer a downloadable product on a site, it translates into residual income. The payments are automatically accepted and item delivered without your having to even login to the website.

Can you tell me how to deliver a PLR product in Fiverr? Is it automatically downloaded by the customer or would I need to login to send to the customer via attachment?

That is an excellent idea. Thank you very much for sharing it. I am often unhappy about various software and that would be a chance to express my opinion and get paid for it.

PS - I had a look at the website utest.com and new people who joined were asking why they didn't get any job in months. It seems the demand for work far exceeds the offers.

Not sure if you can back up that $1k a day number with hard proof, but there are many earning with Kindle. It's a good long term strategy, so long as you have content that people want to read, good reviews and a reasonable price. Many people will purchase an impulse priced item just to have something new to read on the train ride home.

Thanks Tvon,

I will look into building a list, I am working to improve the website, both in structure and content. For the last month I reached almost $1 per day, but there is no guarantee the next month will be any profit. Rather than working for others, it's probably wiser to try to build my own assets, since I don't need any extra money to live. I have a decent wage and I am taking this challenge, to see if I can generate an almost passive income, no matter how small.
People tell me to aim higher, but how can I run before I walk? Anyway, I don't intend to stop at $1, if I get there, I will set the new aim at $5/day, and later at 10, 20, 50, 100 and so on.

Just to me, $1.00 a month seems like a really cheap amount. And, since most offline customers are likely to pay more, I would actually charge more than this amount. Though this seems like a very valid idea.

Nick,

I read that you are willing to work hard but don't have a credit card. How about trading some of your time to deliver a service or product (Fiverr, Elance, oDesk), THEN develop a product for CB for passive income? Or develop a lesson to place on Udemy that people can subscribe (buy)? Or create a YouTube channel (for advertising income based on views)?

Seems like people are giving you some great ideas, it's just a matter of starting on the active income then developing a system of passive income.

Good luck,
Rob

Hi Joe,

This is probably one of the best advice provided here. I guess this would be the situation for many people, starting something and if it doesn't work from the first go, moving to something else.

Nick

You have to start somewhere. And, so many are still working the 9-5 job, though at home by taking on these service type gigs. These gigs are good for generating some instant money (assuming you are not facing too much competition), but the money stops once you stop. There's nothing residual about a Fiverr gig (unless it's a downloadable item). Having a goal of just $1.00 a day is admirable as you can then move up to $5.00 a day and then $10.00 and then so on.

Why would you hire out this service instead of performing it for yourself at a higher commission?

What type of referral sites are you talking about?

Find really obscure products (like how to build a chicken coop) and write a lot of content around it. If you can find an affiliate product offering a $30 commission all you need is 1 sale per month.

If you can get enough content out there you'll get consistent traffic with very little maintenance. Yes, you do need to put in some work at first but after that it's worth it.

Rinse and repeat (if you can do so without losing your marbles). Personally, I can only write about things I'm actually interested in.

Not funny.....You should refrain from giving such ideas....

Yeah, these are definitely NOT passive income streams.
Email Marketing may come the closest but it is still a long term commitment where you have to keep performing day in and day out

But you made a capital investment in buying the cow. So it will be awhile before you break even to earn that passive income

Rejuvenate a ridiculous 9 month old thread to show your signature link. I think you have found a home.

Frank

If only I knew where to find one of these systems...hmmm.
