If you are new to online business, make money by blogging or yearning to earn  passive income for yourself, heck even you have just came across my blog: Welcome and keep reading because you have come to the right place! - it's the perfect place to kickstart for your passive income needs.

P/s: This is not a quick get rich scheme. What we teach is all hardwork and no shortcut through online business. 

MY DEFINITION of ONLINE BUSINESS

In order to create a continuous stream of passive income by online business, we have got to understand the root idea of what it is.

As this topic is very subjective, my definition won't be the same as yours but let's share what we at MB(Marketing Blog) believes and all our readers and internet entrepreneurs like to share the topic about.

Definition: It's a business that allowing business owners(blog/website owner) take advantage of the systems of automation for a transaction from the seller to buyer to occur without having a real time presence.

In other words, you can automate your business even when you are asleep, on vacation or even when your buyer is fromacross another continent, people can still do business with you as it is automated. How cool is that? You tell me how.

Benefits:

• work hard now, reap benefits later.
• automated business. - product is available to your audience 24/7
• invest our time upfront, and not have to spend it too much later on.

The best thing about online business is the vast amount of audiences that you can get straight away at your disposal. The only hard thing left to do is to build your own online presence and how you can stand out from the rest of the crowd, or even having a unique content and as well have the right attitude to help others grow their online businesses as well.

Note: Later, we will discuss about the types of generating smart passive income but hold your horses guys, I wanted to show you a few business models of online business and show you exactly how one can earn a steady income without trading or spending working hours time from 8 to 5.

Online Business Models - Similar to Marketing Plan!

Passive Income Is:

1. Not an easy work. Trust me, it takes a lot of hardwork.

If you think that online business is an easy work, sorry my friend I assure you that it is not. If you didn't believe me you can start try selling some ebooks you wrote and see if you can instantly generate income from it. If you can, maybe you can contact me at mr.amirulzaki@gmail.com and please share it with the rest of the readers. lol. :P I'm not discouraging you not to to try but I just want to tell you a heads up and don't want to make false hope. I'm just telling you that it is not easy, it takes a lot of your time, and most importantly it needs ACTION! I'll give my bery best to give you all the information that I have but in the end, I cannot force you - it all ends up with you.

Don't just learn, DO IT!

2. Generating passive income online is not an overnight work! 

If you think that this line of job requires an overnight job, then this is really not for you. But if you are a patient type of person, and are happy to write a topic without knowing that people might want to read it and then go crazy about it if your blog has less visitor, I cannot say anymore. Well there is one easy way though to increase your visitor which I will talk about later but I'm going to give you a hint of it - Social Marketing. 

3. Available for everyone!

Now everyone can blog. Really? The Aha moment where you smack your hand onto your forehead and said everyone knows this. haha. But yeah you might be correct but can you build a profitable blog and generate passive income with it? And if the answer is not yet than keep on reading, but if you have done it, congratulations mate and welcome aboard! :)

Types of Passive Income and what to expect!

1. Google Adsense

Google adsense is one of personal favorite affiliate publisher programs and one of the biggest earners for my blog when there is no sales in the affiliate links. For those who doesn't know what google adsense is, don't worry. It is actually a program for publishers like us, bloggers to place up google ad codes on our site and each time a visitor clicks the ads, you get a percentage revenue of the advertising fees that is charged to the companies. But these days it is very hard to have your application for google adsense account to be approved if your blog doesn't have a good content.

2. Affiliate links.

Affiliate links works like magic if you know how to convert it to sales. We promote products that we think is useful for our readers and also we feel confident the readers would love them too. We're not selling something that we really don't know about. The best thing to do is try the product yourself and give a review on what the product feels like when you are using it. 

Affiliate programs that are available:

1. Amazon.

2. Ebay.

3. Online shops.

3. Sell your own E-Book!

This is actually one of the most practical way to generate passive income for your own but it might take up a lot of hardwork in choosing what kind of e-book that you want to write about. There are lots of things to be prepared before you can sell your own e-book like choosing a great topic and creative and quality contents out of it, where do you want to promote your e-book, creating affiliate referral programs for your own products, etc. But it's worth the work as you can sell the e-book for as long as you want and as long as there is demand on that topic which is why it is one cool way to own your own e-book that you will be able to create it yourself and then establish yourself as the "master" of the niche that you are writing about.
