Passive Investment Income

What exactly is passive income? I have never given that phrase any thought, until I started writing online. Passive income is basically money received on a regular basis that requires little or no upkeep. Even now, it doesn't occur to me, that what I am writing today, could very well still be earning me money 5, 10 years from now. Spend one hour writing, leave it and forget it... and earn money? Passive income at its best.

Being a skeptic ,I still have a hard time believing my own words. To me , it just seems to easy. From my life experiences so far, this tells me if it's easy -it just won't work. So is investing in passive income, by writing really going to work? So far it looks like it will. But I need to see it right in front of me, hearing other people's success stories is nice, but I need to see the proof in my hands. In a nut shell, this is what writing for dollars is all about, seeing if a passive income is something more than just an internet dream.

I'm still waiting for eHow to update. I am anxious to see what my January earnings are. Hopefully I will get a payout to show in my pay pal account later today. eHow pays at the end of each month, and from what I have heard, they don't miss payouts.
