Hearing the term "passive income" just reminds me of the Warrior Forum. What an ugly place. Especially when affiliate marketing is mentioned.
I understand someone can create an actual business, a SaaS or product (not some get rich quick e-book) and make passive income like that, but when I hear of affiliate marketing it just leaves a sour taste in my mouth. It just reminds me of people ripping off others or selling them sham, snake oil e-books for their own gain.
This isn't true, there's lots of legitimate ways to bring in passive income if you know the right niches to explore. Look at this screenshot of my Adsense earnings for last month, where I brought in over $13,500!

There are a bunch of legitimate affiliates out there who aren't spamming "get rich quick books". There are also infoproducts that do create value for the people that buy them. It's a shame that "affiliate marketing" has this negative connotation associated with it because of things like WaFo.
