Passive income now is NOT a get rich quick scam!

Revenue Sharing Sites As Passive Income?

by MD on August 11, 2010

We all know that you can earn money online through blogging and writing articles for bloggers. Is there another way to generate revenue through writing articles? You bet. For those of you that love writing, but simply have no time to start a blog, there’s a solution for you– revenue sharing websites. These are simply websites that allow you write content for them, and then in return they share a piece of the advertising revenue with you.

Some of the benefits of revenue sharing websites?

1. Established system.

Most of these sites have an established structure in place. Your job is to simply write the articles. The website is established throughout the search engines, the domain is setup, and the theme is in place. Everything is pretty much ready to go for you.

2. No behind the scenes blog work.

You won’t have to deal with all of the behind the scenes work that us bloggers perform on a daily basis. There is no reader correspondence, SEO work, marketing, promotion, etc. You simply focus on what you do best.

3. Focus on writing.

Once all of the distractions (emailing, networking, social media, etc.) have been removed, you can focus on writing quality articles that will hopefully gain traction. The best part is that you can write as many articles as you want on as many topics as you would like to write about.

Where does this form of passive income stand?

This is arguably one of the most difficult forms of passive income to jump into at this point. You have to invest PLENTY of time upfront to pump out lots of articles. There’s also no guarantee that you will earn any money at all from all of the articles that you’ve written.

The payment structure on some of the sites is also not very lucrative for the articles that are not highly ranked. A few years ago, I heard of many writers that were earning decent residual income because of how high some of their articles ranked. Now, it’s much more difficult to break through.

I would also recommend revenue sharing websites for those of you that love to write and help people. If you want to make money online then this is probably the last option that you should consider.

Writing “quality content” has become a must for anyone that wants to grow their new blog. This leads to the super-important question, how do you consistently write quality content? I feel that you need to switch up the content that you write. Instead of writing in the same fashion, you could try writing a different type of a post. One of the types of articles that you could write is a case study.

Why a case study?

Because it’s not a theoretical or “what if” post. A case study is a concrete example of how one person achieved success. People also love to hear from people that have “been there and done that.” A case study is a chance to show case an interesting tale.

A case study is also an excellent opportunity to learn from someone else. You have the chance to sit down and pick the brain of someone that has reached a specific goal before you. You’re essentially killing two birds with one stone. You get to learn from a successful individual and you get a quality blog post out of it.

A case study on who?

On someone in your field. Someone that has accomplished something you would like to one day. An individual that has made a huge impact on a specific industry– or you could do a case study on someone on their way up. Either way a case study should outline the trials and tribulations that someone you admire has gone through.

My favorite case study was when I wrote about a friend that works as a tutor and makes decent money at it. Instead of writing about something that I don’t know anything about, I reached out to my social circle for help. My friend was more than willing to help me out and share tips with me on how one could be a profitable tutor. We actually went so deep into details that my friend shared with me on how he earned $2,100 from tutoring.

Will I apply my own advice? Yes I plan on conducting a few case studies here in the near future. Stay tuned guys.

Blogging for money is clearly a core aspect of earning an active/passive income online. I’m not in any position to be running a blog on how-to blog, but I feel that I’ve read enough and spoken with some of the most successful bloggers, that I could at least pass along some of the knowledge that they shared with me with you guys.
