The Foundation of Residual Income

By: joe cotroneo



Residual Income is highly sought after. Who wouldn't want an income you no longer had to work for? A Residual Income is the goal of many people, yet few achieve it.

Linear income is what most of us make if we have a "job". We trade our skills and time for a one time payment. A person like an insurance salesperson makes commissions over and over again on the sale of the same policy.

A residual income is not easy to come by. Those who use the MLM business to build a residual income fail in staggering numbers. These numbers can be as much as a 99% failure rate.

Time is the most important factor when building a residual income. Most people fail because they don't understand how much time it takes to build an MLM business. The most important time in the MLM business is when you startup and this is when you make the least amount of money. This is when you build the foundation for a residual income.

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 follow-up messages through 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.
