How to Create Multiple Streams of Residual Income
By Earlyn Shuffler
What is Residual Income or recurring income? Residual Income is income that keeps coming in month after month, year after year, from work you do only ONCE. One type of residual income is earned when a product is sold and the customer reorders the same product again and again requiring no additional effort. This type of order is referred to as an Auto-ship. This business volume is what your residual income is based on, so the more affiliates (or customers) on Auto-Ship in your network, the higher your residual income will climb. A good example of this type of business is Symmetry Direct.
A home business that uses leverage (efforts of other people) and that provides residual income is the best first step to creating wealth, which can lead to financial freedom (fire your boss). Residual income is of therefore very important for anybody who is looking to create a reliable source of income from an online business. Internet based MLM (multi level marketing) business opportunities offers this combination of leverage and residual income. The residual income is made possible by being able to earn commissions on future purchases by your down-line. I believe that creating a stream of residual income is one of the best ways to build an extremely profitable online business long-term.

Fortunately, turning a home-based business into residual income is not as hard as it may seem. We will examine a few examples below:

This is one of the best possible ways to build your home based business income.

Membership Commissions: Another way to earn a great residual income is to sell memberships and get paid a commission each month the membership is maintained. To be successful with this type of business the service must be perceived as valuable to members and be consistently delivered on time.

There are many programs available online which pay commissions for selling memberships and this can be a great source of residual income for your online business.

There are many online programs where you can become an and have your own online store. When you introduce this opportunity to other people you earn a commission on what they sell from their online store. When people shop on your online store you earn a commission on anything they buy.
