So you finally decided after some deep thoughts, that one of the best ways to achieve greater financial independence is to start your own Passive Income Business while you still have the luxury of time, strength and brains to spare.

During the first few days into your Passive Income business, you probably are busy learning the products and services, attend to some orientation meetings either online or offline, and is probably spending most of the time talking about it to your family and friends. You don’t start a business and keep it a secret right?

So how about telling everyone you’re doing it and invite interested people to join as well? You can try tapping all your family members, friends, relatives and co-workers, but most often than not, you’ll be frustrated and disappointed of the fact that only a few will be interested. It’s a reality that friends and relatives only start taking you seriously when they see you become successful in what you do.

So what are your options? You probably put your ads on local free ads paper, invest in some paid advertising on magazines, and community papers. Will you even consider buying radio and tv airtime? That will cost you a fortune, and sooner, you’ll end up frustrated, disappointed and broke.

You may consider joining and posting in forums, join hundreds of social networks and advertise your product - getting risked  of being branded a spammer in most instances. Or you may want to consider building yourself your own website - be it on a free blog site like Blogger.com or Bloggista.net, or self-hosted website or blog using Wordpress or Joomla or just a plain website.

Why building your own website is essential to your Passive Income Business? Here’s my 6 reasons why your Passive Income Business needs a website:

Almost everyone is talking about Passive Income Opportunities - those stuffs that earn you money even while you sleep, dine, watch a movie, on vacation - in simple words, earnings that happen even while not working at it. Sounds too good to be true to those who are skeptics, plain Crap and Scam to those who are not educated about the concept.

But for those who have tried it (provided those Passive Income Opportunities aren’t Scam in the first place), Passive Income is real and perhaps the ultimate way to achieve greater financial Independence. They probably have heard of Robert Kiyosaki’s Cashflow Quadrant, and read his popular book, Rich Dad, Poor Dad.

But what it takes  to succeed when joining a Passive Income program? Here are my six personal guides to joining Passive Income Programs:

1. Do you have clearly defined goals about your Passive Income venture?

Joining a passive income program is like starting your own business. You need a business plan. You need to define your goals - what are your needs, how you want to achieve them, what are your skills and experiences that will help you achieve your objectives.

You need to discover your strengths and your weaknesses. You need to set your targets, put dates and deadlines, provide criteria of assessing your performance and understand/mitigate the risks involved.

I just can’t help it but blog (and rant) what I saw today on Philippine TV. At long last, former Department of Agriculture Undersecretary Jocelyn “Joc-joc” Bolante appeared before the Blue Ribbon Committee of the Philippine House of Senate.

The Committee is chaired by Senator Alan Peter Cayetano - who refused to inhibit from “chairing” the Investigation at the request of Senator Panfilo Lacson - citing the fact that Senator Cayetano was one of the alleged beneficiaries of the 728-Million peso “Fertilizer Scam“.

The Senate Investigation started with Senator Cayetano explaining to JocJoc that the Senate presumes his innocence and that the Senate is not out to convict him - a rather confusing statement when in fact the Senate already convicted Bolante and even issued a warrant for his arrest.

Then Bolante was allowed to speak and surprisingly, thanked the Senate for its humanitarian and fair handling of his case - amusing and amazing, when in fact he accused the Senate of being vindictive and politically inclined before the US Courts when he applied for political asylum - which was eventually rejected.

Well, after lots of thinking, evaluating and coordinating with friends - finally we have the Over-all winner of the Definition of Bloggista contest.

Special thanks to all of the participants - all entries were amazing, but I got to announce just a single winner. The prizes aren’t that big to be shared by many winners anyway. My trip here in Batangas for a Client Project also gave me time to thoroughly select the winner, of course taking into considerations the following: definition personal preference, voting results and recommendations from friends.

Special thanks also to the generous sponsors who helped made this little contest successful and fun.

Major Sponsors:
