I have two friends who are crushing when it comes to generating passive income.

Blogging is a way to make passive income and I have a ton of friends in the personal finance space that are making some serious side money.

First off is Pete McPherson who teaches people how to blog. If you’re not sure what blogging is, you should check out his post on how to start a blog.

You might be thinking, that’s great but how is he making money? Pete created an online course where he teaches people how to blog. He put in a lot of work getting the course up and running but it’s evergreen so it’ll never get old.

Michelle Schroeder-Gardner is another great example of someone who makes a ton of passive income online through her website.

She also actually created an online course which details how she makes over $100,000 a month.

We recently reviewed the course which is called making sense of affiliate marketing.

In short she makes money off her website when someone clicks on a link and completes an “action”.

Michelle took the time to set this up but she is now making a ton of passive income from it.

Genius!
