The Foundation of Residual Income

By: joe cotroneo

Getting paid multiple times for doing a task once can be exhilarating. Therefore a residual income is what many people search for. Seldom does any body ever realize their goal of a secure residual income.

Residual Income differs from Linear Income in that it pays a person over and over again for the same "sale". An example would be Insurance sales. An Insurance salesman is paid a commission every year a policy is in force, yet he only had to sell the policy once. A simple linear income example is that of a laborer. He trades his time and labor for a one time payment.

It is quite obvious that a residual income is much more desired yet harder to acheive. Many people use the MLM Business Model to acheive a residual income they can retire on. Yet 99% of the people who attempt to build an MLM Business to earn residual income fail.

Most people fail to build an Mlm Business and earn residual income because they fail to understand that it takes time to build an MLM Business. In the beginning is when the MLM distributor is building the foundation of the business. This is the most important time in the business, yet it is the least lucrative.

Just like laying the foundation of any building, a lot of digging and heavy work is going on. However it appears to the outside observer that nothing is happening. When will the building start to rise; or in MLM terms, when will the downline start to grow?

An example of building your MLM Business foundation is creating lead capture pages with followup messages thru an autoresponder. You are signing up your 1st level and training them. Fail to train your downline correctly and you will fail to duplicate. Duplication is the key to residual income in MLM and success.

It will cost you money to lay a firm foundation to earn a residual income in your MLM Business. You will not earn money during this period. The best you can hope for is to break even. This is the reason the failure rate is so high. Few people can overcome laying out money for 6 months, while it "seems" that nothing is happening. Get past this crucial period, and you probably couldn't stop the momentum if you wanted to.

You must have patience to endure during these early stages of your business. Get past the 1st 6 months and start to break even or earn a little money is your goal. Teach your downline about the need for patience in the beginning, and you will have a greater chance of success. There really is no alternative. A residual income can only be built with patience and a strong foundation.
