Passive Blogging Income

Darren has a great post over at ProBlogger about being able to earn a passive income by blogging. Basically, he confronts the question about whether you can build a blog, then sit back and let the money roll in.

The answer? NO

Well, Darren goes to a bit greater length to explain the answer. There are a couple ways blogging income can be "passive," in a sense. As you build up archives, those pages are earning money without further work. Also, some programs like Adsense can be "set it and forget it."

However, the key is that you will have to continue working on your blog, or your page ranking, search engine ranking, and overall traffic will fall. It won't plummet overnight, but you can't just walk away and expect the earnings to keep rolling in.
