Most of us are in a rat race - myself included.
You go to work to earn income, then you spend it on food, gas, rent/mortgage and other living expenses, and save whatever is left of that income, if any.
Each day you repeat this cash inflow and outflow. It’s like a never ending cycle.
On some days you can save more, on some days you find yourself tapping into your savings for emergency expenses. And you haven’t even begun to think about splurge spending such as entertainment and traveling.
The rat race continues. Until you have saved up enough for retirement, you can not call it quits.
The secret to getting you out of this vicious earn/spend cycle sooner than what the government has planned for most people - social security retirement at the age of 65 (or older if you are born older), provided that the government is not bankrupt by then - is through proper investing.
You have different investment options - you can put it in a savings account, invest in real estate, stock market, commodities, businesses, or even invest in yourself in higher education and self improvement.
Since this blog is about earning online passive income, I will mainly focus on how you can invest in an online business, or to get an education on how to start your own online business.
One thing to keep in mind that the world has gone digital thanks to the internet. It is through the internet that enables this blog to reach out to other, virtually in any corner of the world who has an internet connection.
Smart people have taken advantage of this new media - they began to sell over the internet. Their markets are no longer constrained to local markets.
Their products no longer needs to be an actual physical product - the information product age has taken off. People are now producing and consuming information over the internet.
This phenomenon simply can not be ignored!
Now, let’s look at why you should consider starting your own information product business.
First of all - the barrier of entry is low. Since the product is digital, you don’t need to put up the initial cost of product design, prototype, and production.
Since the product is digital, it could very well be a 500 word article that you sell to other content consumers.
Since the product is digital, you could sell multiple copies without incurring additional reproduction cost.
Since the product is digital, your “online store” is open 24/7 and you can actually make sales while you are asleep.
And since the product is digital, consumers can instantly download the product off a website after the payment is made, all without incurring shipping cost to you.
You essentially have a 100% margin on each sale, and best of all…
You can set up online sales funnels and just watch your personal ATM machine at work - truly exemplifies my “Work Once, and Get Paid Over a Lifetime” mantra.
These advantages, along with other benefits, are what make the information product business so lucrative, and sought after - I have an information product business and can vouch for validity of the business and how hands-off once you set it up.
This is what I teach on this blog - and I invite you to explore the infinite possibilities of the internet and how you, too, can set up your own information product business and reap the benefits of what you sow today.

Great post but it takes a lot of work to make a successful Internet product. Once you get your product out there you have to keep working to make sure you have enough traffic to ensure sales but it’s still a great way to make extra income.
@boblack: Yes, that is very true. Every piece of machinery needs fine tuning and regular maintenance. That’s why it’s important to understand outsourcing and develop a solid business process so that you can eventually take YOU out of the equation.
