The Foundation of Residual Income

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.

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.

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.

Failure in any MLM Business can mostly be attributed to the person failing to take into account the amount of time needed to build a residual income. In the very beginning is the most important time, yet it is the least lucrative time. You will be building your foundation for your business.

When putting in a foundation for a new building is when most of the heavy work is done. To people looking in from the outside it looks like nothing is going on. Most people wonder when will the building start to go up, or for MLmers, when will your downline begin to duplicate?

While building your MLM foundation, you may create lead capture pages with autoresponer followup messages. You most definitely are training your first level distributors. The training is so important because it allows you to duplicate your efforts. Fail at this and you fail to build a residual income.

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.
