Whether you call it a recurrent income, a passive income, or a semi-passive income nothing beats having several streams of income coming in each and every month, whether you put tons of time into it or not. Now a days, this is something everyone, in every field, can work toward online. There are tons of different sites where people can share what they know, think, and enjoy in this life and set up a passive income that comes in while they aren't sitting in front of the computer.

With a few simple steps, some time, some energy, a lot of hard work, and you will watch your money grow into something worth talking about. It will start out as just a little bit, but it won't be long if you are willing to work at it. So, what do you have to do?

1)Join a website. You really have a lot of options these days. You will find more and more options as you work with and talk to those who work hard making money writing online. Some of your options include Xomba where you can earn money with your Google Adsense account, Hubpages where you can build your own pages and make money with your Google Adsense account (as well as eBay and Amazon affiliate programs), Helium where you will earn a share of the revenue, and Associated Content (US Residents only) where you can get paid $1.50 for each 1000 page views as well as a possible chance to earn upfront payment.

2)Write quality articles. This seems obvious, after all no one sets out to write a crappy article. You want to write what you know because it is faster and easier to write a great article if you know what to say. Proof read your article making sure it is coherent and easy to read. Check for spelling and grammar issues and always double space between paragraphs to make it easier to read. Where possible include paragraph headers and bold text to help break the article up and allow people to skim the article if they choose to.

3)Write a ton.Whether you have an hour a day or ten to write articles, you will want to write as much as you can. Over time you will see your articles make a lot of money and with a lot of good quality articles out there you will be brining in a nice chunk of change from your articles month after month providing you with a recurring income, a passive income, or a semi-passive income (you will need to write one article every 90 days for many of these sites) depending on what you want to call it.

Repeat Steps One through Three! This is an excellent way to set up a passive income. However with the internet the way it is, you could end up with an empty basket at some point in time. Therefore it is best to have several baskets out there to decrease your chances of loosing all of your passive income. You may also find sites that you enjoy working with more then the one you started with. There are a ton of different options and nothing stopping you from working with each and every one of them if you wish.

Here are some of your options. This list is by no means a complete list, however, all of these sites are proven and work well, as long as you follow steps one through three.
