Making money while not working sounds wonderful doesn’t it, but how can you do it? There are a lot of ways you can create passive income in your business while you sleep, on vacation or being Taxi Mom, like me 
Here are a few tips I have found are easy to set up.
Scheduled Tweets & Status Updates
There are a few services you can use for free that will allow you to automate your postings to Twitter and update your status to social networking sites such as Facebook and LinkedIn. The service that I use is called HootSuite and it is super easy to set up and use but you just want to create scheduled update for your Twitter account you can consider using Social Oomph. I suggest scheduling promotional types of tweets and status updates a few times throughout the day. What you will want to promote are your own products and services as well as other people’s products through affiliate marketing.
Ebooks
Ebook Are you an expert at something and like to write? You can easily put together an ebook and sell it from your website. You can even have a virtual assistant or graphic designer create a snazzy cover for you to help drive sales. To sell the book from your website all you need is aPayPal account and you can set up a “buy now” button on your website and customers can buy your book. Once they have made the purchase you will receive an email and send the book out to them in PDF format.
