Hi Normalyn! I am glad that my post inspired you! I don’t mind at all if you post it, but you may want to ask Pat Flynn because I know that he wants only original material on his blog. Best of luck with all of your future endeavors!

I’ve read your guest post over at Smart Passive Income Blog and I was truly inspired by it. I hope you don’t mind but I posted it on my website. You have a really very inspiring story. Thanks so much for sharing.

Hi Kevin – thanks for dropping in! I do know that writers get residuals. I am not sure about producers, cinematographers or editors. As far as question # 2 — I would take the movie part. I tend to get bored easily and working on the same TV show for a long period of time would get old. I actually had a fairly decent cop role in a Russian feature film called “Shadow Boxing 2″ and the days that I had on set were amazing and lots of fun. I played a cop and you can see my clip here: Michael-John Wolfe in Shadow Boxing 2 For the weekend that it was released in Russia, Shadow Boxing 2 was the second biggest grossing film in that country.

I think you are right about affiliate products – but I just got an email from Amazon Associates stating that they are no longer allowing Colorado residents to be Amazon affiliates because Colorado is the first US state to pass a recent law taxing online retailers. Rather than pay the tax, Amazon decided to drop all of it’s Colorado affiliates. I have a feeling that Clickbank and Ebay may follow suit — unfortunately.

I think I do need to find better ways to create passive income in general, but I will tell you that I am working on it!

Thanks for your 2 cents Kevin! I hope you will visit my blog again.

Best regards,

Hi Michael,

Saw your post over at Pat Flynn’s blog and thought I’d drop in. That was a real interesting behind the scenes look at Hollywood.

I’ve got a couple of questions.

1. Who else gets residuals? Directors? Producers? Cinematographers? Editors?

2. If you had a choice would you rather have a large part on a major lotion picture or be one of the main characters on a TV show (like Lost or Fringe) and why?

You and Pat both recommend ehow for passive income but with the number of articles that you and he write I think you’d do better promoting affiliate products (via Clickbank, Amazon, or Ebay) or by promoting CPA offers.

Just my .02

Kevin

Haha – well in Mr. and Mrs. Smith and Collateral my scenes were actually cut from the film. But I made the final credits in both movies which is all I care about – because that is what determines whether or not you get residuals! In The Aviator I play Cary Grant and I am in the scene where Leo DiCaprio lands the water plane – you can see the actual screen shot of me in the film below. In Oceans 12 I play the Fabrege Egg expert who sets up the egg the night before I get stolen. These are all pretty small roles – but I was able to make a pretty good living while I was in L.A. That is great that Triond pays via Western Union or check, CashCrate also offers a check payment. If you want, you can have your checks mailed to me here in the US and I will cash them and take 10% and then mail you the rest — haha, just kidding!

Hey Michael I just checked out your profile at Triond. Amazed to know that you are an actor as well. Man why didn’t I see you in the movies discussed in the profile. Anyway will be more watchful next time I see these movies.

By the way what are your upcoming projects?

Now coming to this post. I just checked this site. At last you discussed something which pays using other sources as well besides paypal. You know that here in Pakistan, Paypal does not offer its services. So many popular online money making sources just become useless in my country. However as Triond pays through Western Union and check as well I am looking forward to try this service.

Got it! I thought these article pages were branched directly off of Triond.com. Thanks again for the info!

Actually your articles are never really posted on the Triond site. They are posted on several niche sites that are either owned by or affiliated with Triond. So, no you won’t be getting a backlink from a PR5. But you are getting a backlink from an established website, and it makes it easier to raise that page’s PR.

I never thought of using Triond to build links. Triond is a PR 5 — does that mean you are getting inbound links from a PR 5? Or would your article be ranked a lower PR?

Thanks for the info George!

Triond is a great site to build dofollow links to your blogs,websites, or other articles while earning a few pennies. You won’t get rich there, but you can get paid to build links.
