Passive income is what you get when you are not actively involved, that is why it is called passive.  An example of passive income is referring resources to your students and your customers. 

For example, I have some passive income that I get right now when I refer students and clients to a resource tools like perhaps they need a shopping cart.  Obviously my students and clients want to know what I use because it is time, tested, and proven.  It’s a system we are using right now to be successful in what we are teaching.  There is nothing wrong with giving a referral of information to your clients and students.  In fact this is how you conduct your business.  This is what you are going to do.

When I refer clients and students to the shopping cart, I get passive income from that company, from the initial registration fee of that student or client signing up, and then I get a percentage of the subsequent fees that the individual is paying. Now this is normal business practice.
