I was out vacuuming my pool early on Sunday morning, and I happened to notice a small spider spinning its web.  I checked back occasionally, marveling at the precision of the construction.  In my caffeine-depleted state, I started making a connection: the spider was laying the groundwork for its next meal.  In other words, it was creating passive income streams.

Arachnology 101

I know, you’re probably thinking, “he should start drinking coffee again, ’cause he’s really off the wall”, but stay with me here.  First, the spider has to find a place to build the web.  Next, it decides how large the web should be.  Then when it has figured that out, it starts construction.  All it has to do now is wait for a fly or moth to land on any strand of the web, while it continues to add more strands.

Making connections

If we relate this to humans, the spider’s web site can equate to a blog page, or a Squidoo lens, loaded with affiliate links.  Literally, a website.  Get it?  OK, enough with the puns already.  Each strand that the spider creates equates to a separate website.  So just like the spider, we can create streams of income that keep on working even as we sleep.

Spider sense

The spider is clever in using this web-building strategy.  We can follow its lead and use our brains to create passive income streams.  There are some great resources on the web regarding building passive income:

Pat at Smart Passive Income has a series on creating and marketing your own eBook.

Passive Family Income has brought in passive income by writing eHow articles.

Dusty at Chasing the Bull is on a quest to develop multiple income streams using Infobarrel articles and sniper sites.

These are a good starting point.  Search the web for more resources.

So, the next time you’re taking in nature, keep an open mind.  It might make you some money.
