Home Based Residual Income
There are several well established methods to develop a home based residual income business. However, this is also an area where you see promises of instant rewards and 'get rich quick' - and you need to be vigilant to weed out ideas which have little chance of living up to the promises.
Just to repeat what I've said elsewhere on the web site, I am not offering advice on get rich quick. No doubt some people manage it, but I favour the tortoise against the hare - the type of approach favoured by Robert Kiyosaki, author of Rich Dad Poor Dad and The Cashflow Quadrant. Steady progress with the right plan brings the best chance of success. So, what residual or passive income opportunties are out there? First, there's network marketing or MLM. After many years of regarding network marketing with suspicion, I finally gave it a try a couple of years back. For a variety or reasons it has so far proved a small rather than big winner for me, but I know people who are doing very well from it. Also, I have come to realise that there are some excellent companies and excellent opportunities. Second, you can go for residual internet income. Please do not ignore this idea just because you don't know how to build a web site. That's what put me off for years. But nowadays it's simple. If you can use a key board and type a sentence you can do it - because a simple bit of software will sort out the technical bits. Third, there are a whole host of commission sales ideas. The point here is that, once you have made the initial sale, you may be able to receive a commission month after month afterwards.
Again, this is a method which I have tried with some success. Just like with network marketing, someone will pay you for generating sales of their goods or services. The whole point about these ideas is to build multiple streams of home based residual income that will keep on flowing even when you are asleep or on holiday. But it's not like winning the lottery when all you have to do is buy a ticket. This does require hard graft. First you have to establish the cash flow source. The real financial and life style benefits come in the longer term.
