MLM Network Marketing
Residual Income From Home

One of the main reasons people start MLM home based businesses is the hope of network marketing residual income. Many people do make a small amount of money this way, others do quite well and a few top earners can make very significant amounts. In my experience they deserve it, because they will have put in hard work over many years to get to that level.

You need to carry out proper research before you join any MLM opportunity to find out the exact compensation plan on offer. Of course, there are many other factors to take into account - monetary and otherwise.

Most importantly, how popular are the services or products which you and your future team will be selling? It doesn't matter how generous the potential compensation if it's too difficult to make sales. Do yourself a favour and say no to anything that you think will be difficult to sell.

Secondly, what training and support will you receive from the company or other distributors? The number one question Robert Kiyosaki suggests you ask yourself is Is this company going to help me learn how to become a master network-builder? He suggests this is more important than the product.

When you make a sale you will probably be paid a one-off amount of money. It is likely to be small and will just cover your expenses. However, you should also receive a monthly ongoing commission paid into your bank. When you sign up a new distributor, you should not be paid anything. However, when that distributor makes sales to new customers you should also receive an ongoing monthly commission.

That's the way MLM compensation normally works. In order to make very significant amounts, you need to build a big team of distributors. Indeed some of the top earners in MLM home based businesses will have many thousands of team members - and when you add up all the small amounts of ongoing commission from team sales, that's where the big figures of network marketing residual income are achieved.
