I made my first passive income through a site called Helium. The site is defunct now. It was a writing site where you could earn revenue on your articles, sell your articles for upfront fees, make money from writing contests, as well as make money by rating articles. For over a year, I spend 1-2 hours everyday writing, publishing, and rating articles. The finally I started earning passive income. Back in 2012, I was earning $10 per month as passive income.
