I started generating passive income after four years of blogging. I have been creating content on many blogs for nearly seven years. Some of them were incredibly viral some of them were not. I had to share my contents on various social media to get enough traffic for leading an affiliate sale. I wanted to write rich content which will give me passive income opportunity in future. Now, in present days, I'm making money almost doing nothing, and you can earn too. 

  If you know how to blog, and already started earning money from it, you probably thinking, why don't you earn like me (passive money)? This is the point. Everyone who intends to make money blogging is actually earning, the amount can be $1 or a six-figure, seven-figure income. Why everyone can't earn six figure income from their blog? The answer is simple. No one is buying from their affiliate links. 

You need to write quality contents which people will love to comment and share on their social profile. A dumb blog can't generate high revenue. You should be engaged with your readers. Well then, how we can say it passive income? Because initially, you are doing nothing beyond networking.

What's the secret to earning passive income?

Are you guys ready to know the secret of generating $10000+ passive money from a single blog post? The secret is very simple, and here we go:

"Ask ONE question to different experts." 

Yes, you read it right. Asking only one question to some different experts can make you passive money dream come true. But wait, there a few more thing you should follow. I guarantee it won't be tough to create your money making machines. 

Publishing web content or blogging is all about giving value to the audience. The more you write blog posts, the more you get closer to your audiences. But you should make sure you are providing informative and quality contents. After some days or months, you will get emails and comments from your readers with the same set of questions. But, if you don't have a massive amount of traffic and don't get asked those question, you should not worry. Still, you can earn money. 

Just think of some burning questions in your mind. Almost in any topic, you get some question ideas on Google Trends, but I like the way to check it in Visual Google Trends. 

It can be a very simple question, like:

• How do I get traffic?
• How do I make money from a blog?
• How do I become a full-time blogger?
• What’s the best email marketing service?
• What is the best marketing tool for blogger?
• How do I get clients / make money online?

Beside these question idea, you can be quite specific. Ask them in some forum where experts are always ready to help you. You should post your question on a high-quality forum to make sure you will get trustworthy answers. And you post this question in a forum full of experts. It could be a forum that you know is high quality – you’ve had questions answered there before, and the answers were useful. It could be a Facebook Group, a LinkedIn Group, a popular blog, whatever, as long as you know those people are knowledgeable in certain areas.

Need help to get some best Forum? Here are few:

Stack Overflow 
ShoutMeLoud Forum 
WordPress Forum 

Sometimes, forums may seem like messy with many topics and questions. If you want to avoid, want to learn personally, you can ask someone directly by sending an email. Find someone who is skilled in your questions topic and send him an email asking the most wanted question. Ask the same question to several people. 

If you can get an answer from the experts, it's pure GOLD! Keep all the answer saved for later use. 

The answer to your question is here 

Well-educated persons loved to show their skill in groups and forums.  You will get tons of useful answers withing a short time. Many times, I see, some answers get conflicted, and experts start arguments. This is normal and isn't really fault. If you read those answers carefully and observe the arguments, you will get a good knowledge of the subject. You will have ideas of pros and cons for the asking question. 

Now come to the point of email. If you ask a question by sending email, you should get a very well explained answer in a standard language for your better understand. Moreover, this will establish a close relationship with an expert in some areas. 

Case study – WordPress hosts

The very first time I did this in an accident. I needed to change my WordPress hosting service due to its quality. So, I posted my issue in the WordPress Group on LinkedIn. As LinkedIn is a professional platform and this group grows well, I can trust them. My question was, "What is the best WordPress hosting service?"

Technically this is not the right question that can be answered clearly. The question should be like this one; "What is the Best VPS host for WordPress Blog that gets 60,000 to 100,000 unique visitors per month?"

Anyway, I got some vague answer. I published two great article on my blog. One is "The best shared hosting service for WordPress blog and my #1 Recommended VPS Hosts.

** Best WordPress Hosting Bluehost earned me more than $10000, it's the right tool to make money online. Tweet 

What I got by asking in this WordPress Group? 

The thing I learned is solid Gold. I did something great after learning; Here is a summary: 

• I got some great advice on WordPress hosting.
• Write and publish two useful article.
• Earned more than $10000 from affiliate commission and still counting.

These two posts about hosting were individually great to earn affiliate revenue. Usually, I promote (use affiliate links) for a product or service only after I personally tested it. But, this time things walk in anti clock ways. I didn't use that hosting service I promote in my blog post. 

Why did I promote hosting without using it? 

The only reason is, it was suggested by many WordPress experts. Sites like WP Beginner and WP101 explain the same thing in some different ways. I trust those group of expert WordPress master, and I used their opinion. Other things I did, used a proper disclaimer to use affiliate links.
