If you are just beginning to earn money writing on line and are feeling somewhat disappointed that your articles are not earning you as much as you thought, then you need to learn a little about passive income and what it means to an individual article.
Most paid per view sites, are passive income sites. That simply means that once you have invested the time to write your article and get it published, that you need do nothing else for it to keep earning you income, as long as people continue to read that article.
For example, say you spend an hour writing an article and getting it published today. Tomorrow you eagerly click on your writing site and discover that your article has only made $.50. Now you decide that perhaps writing on line is not worth the time and effort for so paltry of an monetary reward.
If that is all your article was ever going to make for you I would say you are right. However, you have not calculated on your passive income.
Suppose, you simply wait and see how much your article earns in a week, a month, a year. Every time you click on your writing site you see that your article has gotten another few views. Sometimes, only one or two people may read that article, then there may be times when for one reason or another 20 or 30 people read it one day.
By the end of the year, your article has earned $15.00, $20.00 or more. Suddenly, spending an hour writing an article seems a little more worth it.
Now consider if you spent the time to write only three articles a day for an entire year, how the earnings could pile up. That paltry little sum, isn’t so paltry is it?
Of course some articles may never reach the 20.00 range, while others could earn far more than that amount. How much your article makes over time depends on how many people read your article in the course of a year. Some articles, are simply more appealing than others.
Some articles could earn you money only for a few days or months, while others could still be earning money several years from now.
In order to know if what you are writing is worth the effort you must give each article enough time to determine how much passive income it might be capable of earning. Doing this takes a time and experience.
