A Residual Income Means Building a Strong Foundation

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.

Linear income is such that you only get paid once for your efforts. Insurance sales is an example of residual income. The agent sells the policy once, yet gets paid commissiond for the entire time the policy is in force.

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.

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.

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?

In the beginning you will be setting up lead capture pages with autoresponder followup messages to lay the foundation for your business. You will begin to sign up your 1st distributors. Training these 1st distributors is of upmost importance since they will duplicate you. If you fail at this critical stage of duplication you will fail to build an MLM Business which will produce a reliable 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.
