After pursuing money making opportunities online for such a long time, in my opinion blogging is still the best ways to build passive and active income. It is also the best ways to get started if you are just starting to make money online. Especially when you have no idea how to make money online and are still learn everything from scratch, blogging can help you develop a good practice and lead you slowly to your goal. In the beginning you will have to depend on your active income because your passive income will need time to grow before it actually brings in some money. While waiting and developing your passive income, your active income will be the source of your main income. One of the good things about having a blog is that you can do both at the same time. If you think about it carefully, there are so many money making opportunities online that you can develop using your blog. The active income which you can build on your blog is for example selling products or services. Products sold can either physical or digital. Digital products usually are referring to information in eBook PDF format. Physical products usually are referring to items from Amazon, eBay or other e-commerce website. Of cause you can also try to sell your own products. Services which you can sell are for example proofreading, writing or teaching. How much you are able to make by selling services are actually depending on how good your skill and how popular you are. The passive income which you can build on your blog is for example Google AdSense. In other words, you are basically selling advertisement space on your blog. It will take time to make money because it depends on the number of visitors gathered. Your passive income will generate a lot of money if your blog is able to attract a lot of readers daily.
If you are hoping to make money online using this method, it will take some time before you actually see some money coming in. Good news about this method is that the potential to generate money is greater than you can imagine. It is depend on your ability to gather readers or traffic. But it will take a lot of time and effort to actually make it work.
