In Search for Passive Income

savingsAfter reaching my $100 goal for this month (which will be received next month), I got bored, stressed, pressured, uptight (what’s the right word?) for doing the same thing everyday. I don’t know how others do it. They can just write and write everyday, and there’s always something new. Maybe I have the wrong inspiration or that I’m back to my procrastination again…

I want to write. I know I’m still not good at it, but at least it helps me buy my stuff. But I have to think the long term income and stability of my future. I mean, I cannot always depend on hunny and his granny. I want to learn to handle my money wisely and have my own savings which my parents missed to instill in us. I’m really glad that boyfriend still has the patience to teach me how to handle my finances well.

As for now,  in order to reach that $100 goal a month I have to write and be on the computer more than 6 hours. But I can’t always do that. I have a kid to look after who loves to go out, her clothes to wash and iron, and her bottles to wash. Thank god I don’t have to cook or wash hunny’s and my clothes yet.

Still, I feel a whole 24 hour is not enough. I don’t have a nanny to leave my daughter to (or is it just that I don’ t trust the people here in the house). That’s why I want need an income generating opportunity without me needing to be there 24/7.

It’s like google adsense, my nuffnang ads, Bukisa, and Ezihippo. I need something that only requires me to write once in a while and it will just earn by itself even when I’m sleeping. Of course, it will need a little promoting or that I should write SEO articles so they would be easily searched.

There are lots of opportunities that I see and something new comes in everyday. Maybe I have to rethink and sort my short term and long term goals. I think I’m just getting uptight because of what others can accomplish in one day.

I am trying to get my hands into making another blog, a niche blog, that is. But I feel the sprouting opportunities coming my way would turn to waste if I don’t grab them. Yet, I remember one article I’ve read about Passive/Residual Income. It is nice to think that I can have a hundred bucks in a month, but that means leaving my daughter in front of the tv and missed out on her a lot. Help!!!

Hey fedhz!

I know exactly how you feel, but for now its just the way it is. Perhaps eventually if you build enough traffic and readership, passive income will just come. For now, try to weigh your priorities. Just have fun and enjoy in everything you do. :)

I wish I could have attended that but since I know I will give birth November, I knew my OB will not allow me to go outside the country
