There's such a thing as passive blogging and there's such a thing as profitable blogging but they're mutually exclusive. You have to write a ton, push it hard across a bunch of different platforms, re-post old content to keep it fresh, keep up with SEO and social media changes, and most of the time you're posting on all your social media outlets (combined) a dozen or more times per day.

It can be done part time and still be profitable, but it can't be done passively unless you're a genius in your fields and everyone is beating down your door to hear what you have to say (in which case you should write a book).
