Diversifying and creating residual income

So beyond this blog and InfoBarrel, I'm looking at many different ways for making residual income through the internet. I have had many projects in the past (both finished and unfinished) and I'm finally bringing them to light and also seeking to make some money with them.

One my latest projects is WORDClash which basically let's people type in two words or names and have them battle it out to the death to see which word is better. I'm not quite sure what to do to get people to go to the project, but I'm trying out different marketing techniques to maybe get it out virally.

Adsense is my primary source of residual income right now and I'm working hard on getting a combination of sources and sites together to really start cranking up the impressions and clicks. InfoBarrel so far hasn't been a huge success money wise but I'm still working at it and posting once or twice a day and hoping for the search engines will rain blessings upon my articles. But then again, my account is only maybe 2 weeks old and so I shouldn't really be expecting monetary results until the articles age a few months.

On a side note about InfoBarrel, I honestly don't get how some people can write so many bloody articles a day on that site. Maybe I don't like writing about acne, maybe I put more effort than other people in writing my articles, but seriously, some people crank A LOT of mundane articles each day. (And by A LOT I mean like 10+). But then again, they're probably don't work 9 hours a day and so have lots of free time on their hands.

Back to the topic of diversying and generating residual income--since Google Adsense is my main source of income right now, I'm looking at some other sources like Amazon and Ebay affilating. Apparently that side of residual income is pretty green and grassy so I'm going to experiment with different blogs and websites using those tools.
