There are two types of income, passive income, and active income. Active income is any income that you make by actually working. It includes wages, self-employment, and the type of income you make by managing a company, but not the type you make by investing. Passive income is a type of income that you can make without having to work. It is usually generated by an asset, such as a house or a stock, which generates money even when you’re not using it.
Affiliate Marketing can be passive income because after you work on a project you can keep making money from it. Unlike a job where you are paid for each hour you work and nothing after. Say you write a great blog post, or make an amazing video. You can keep on making money from those projects months even years after the fact.
Making money as you live life and even while you sleep. Allowing you more time and freedom. You can pretty much do it from anywhere as long as you have internet. But you will have to keep your content alive. If you are lazy and do nothing to it after a while people will lose interest.
