Consistency is the key to success and you must never, ever, ever give up your goals.

I, for one, have been tempted to give up lots of times. In fact, I even gave up for a few months in order to make some active income. Although the active income was very nice (while it lasted), once it was gone, it was gone. I put in so much time and energy into building someone else’s library of articles and they’ll receive the benefits of those articles for years to come and I, have been paid, spent the money and that is that.

So, my plan is to keep working consistently to meet my writing goals – no matter what! I am just going to keep churning out high quality content and effectively marketing it to make sure that I get it out there. Because the more content I have out there, the more potential income that I can make.

In fact, you can consider me the mean IM writing machine. This is because I believe that slow and steady wins the race. It is easy to get fired up and then let that motivation and energy dwindle when you don’t see immediate results. I know because this happened to me. However, I truly believe that if I just keep chugging along, doing my best and writing about topics I love, the money will come to me eventually. On the same token, if I give up, I will never accomplish my goals.

As I previously stated,  my goal  is to make at least $179 a day. I am confident that I can accomplish this goal if I use both active and passive income. You see, active income is income you make right now. It includes ghostwriting for clients, etc. It is income that is like a job. If you stop working or don’t do the work, your income will cease as well. In most instances, once you complete the task and get paid for your efforts, your income ceases at that point. On the other hand, passive income continues to pay you, long after you stop working. For instance, writing for sites like Bukisa and Xomba are passive income. You complete the work today and get paid tomorrow.

So, the question is, which one should you use? In my case, I will use active and passive writing streams to meet my $166 a day writing goals. My plan is to spend 50% of my time on Active incomeand 50% of my time on residual or passive income.

By dividing it up half and half, I will have income now and later. In addition, I will be building a business and not just working a job and to me, this just makes good financial and common sense.

So, what do you plan on pursuing? Active writing income, passive writing income or both?

Ever since I got back into Internet Marketing full time, I’ve been wondering how to create multiple streams of writer income. To me, this is not only important because you are able to diversify your earnings but you are also able to have a sense of security in case one method of income dries up. And, as writers we know that this does indeed happen. So, I’ve been looking into ways to diversify earnings and here is a list I thought you may want to check out.

Bukisa – This is a brand new revenue sharing site that pays residual income based on page views. You can submit text, photos, and even videos. In addition, to this, you are also paid referrals for any writers who sign up for your network.

My take on Bukisa – if you’re really good about generating traffic to your articles then this is definitely one that should be looked into. Right now, the Bukisa index is $3.92 (you make a whopping $3.92 for every 1000 unique visits ). This may not sound like a whole lot but it can add up, especially since this is passive income. It is important to note that Bukisa reserves the right to change the Bukisa index as they deem necessary. In fact, when they first started accepting submissions, the index was $4.20.

My take on having a Today Blog . This is a great opportunity for those who want to make guaranteed income and aregood at generating traffic.
