There’s a sucker born every minute.

Most bloggers wouldn’t mind earning some cash from their work.

And there are ways to monetize this content. Advertising, eBook sales, and affiliate sales are all channels. Blogging is one way to create a passive stream–or streams–of income.

But there seems to be a whole industry built on scamming bloggers, especially new bloggers.

The key to avoiding these scams is to know what to look for.

Passive income is often touted as a work-free, pain-less, time-agnostic way to earn money.

The logic goes like this: You employ a few vehicles that can earn money on a 24-7 basis. You can invest and earn money through trading or dividends. You can create a blog or web site. You can do some affiliate or search engine marketing.

And, alakazam, you make money.

It works. Or, it can work.

But passive income does require four distinct phases that do require your attention and due diligence.

Everyone is looking for the secret to wealth.

It’s the headline of book and magazine articles. It’s the title of more than a few best-selling books. Television specials cover the topic. There are entire blogs based on the subject. I bet, if you click around the archives of Online Investing AI’s blog, you’ll find posts on the subject of wealth secrets.

Well, here’s the secret.

The secret is there is no secret.

Wealth is nothing more than living your own life and living it as close to your principles as possible. It has nothing to do with the number of zeroes on your bank account statement.

Theoretically, it has nothing to do with finance at all. But–you knew there would be a but–here’s where finance comes in.

In order to live your life, you must not let anyone else take a substantial stake in it.

Patience is a virtue.

It’s not a virtue when it comes to finances. Since Americans are among the least financially educated people in the world, they often refer to financial procrastination in far more positive terms–like caution. They offer “safety” as one excuse of why they aren’t investing. These excuses go a little like this:

“I’m waiting for the market to settle.”

“It’s too volatile at this point.”

It makes it sound like they have a plan, right?

Other people believe that they have an unlimited amount of time for investing. Why do today what you can put off to tomorrow?

Both of these assumptions are wrong. Financial procrastination can keep you away from personal financial freedom.

First of all..

What’s an instant entrepreneur? In the first time in history, a person can instantly become an entrepreneur, all it takes is an internet connection. Back in the day, you needed suppliers and delivery people, or you needed a factory, or sales people. You needed to take out an advertisement and wait a few days before it would show up in the paper.

The power of online technology has brought down barriers to billions of people and, hence, millions of different markets.

With just an internet connection, you can make money by creating a web site, an application, or a blog. You can easily and cheaply make money running an affiliate site, or earning pay-per-click revenue. You can earn cash by freelancing your writing, design, or web development skills.

Instantly.

Note that I didn’t say Instant Successful Entrepreneur. This category may exist, but more than likely, you’ll need some help to become an ISE.

Here are ten blogs that will help you not only realize the power of becoming an instant entrepreneur, but will also guide you along the process.
