I don't believe in such a secret. If you don't want to invest anything, it is not going to work. Let's say you find a good niche, you join some good affiliate programs and you build your website. Up to this point, you would have already invested lots of hours of work. Now, with your site up and running, you have several choices:
1. Wait to see traffic from search engines (you can wait even one year, and you won't like the results, because your site won't have links pointing to it, so it won't have credibility in front of search engines)
2. Promote your site for free. This is possible, but it takes lots of time and it does not pay off quick enough.
3. Use PPC campaigns. These require both time and money.

This myth of the residual income filling your bank account even when you are sleeping should be busted once for all: it is true that lots of people earn money without trading their 8 hours a day for it, but they don't tell you how hard did they work when they started, or how much money they pay to keep the system going on.

Earning money is like raising children: do you think they can grow well without your help and supervision? Maybe yes, but chances are they take a wrong path in life.
