Residual Income - What It Is And Why You Need
It Submitted By: Hamish Hayward As you surf the net, you will come
across a wide variety of business opportunities. Invariably, each
one will claim to have the best compensation plan available and many
will claim to offer “residual income”. However, a cursory
examination of many of these pay plans will reveal that, although
there may be a very real earning opportunity, it cannot truly be described
as residual income.What exactly is residual income anyway? Simply
put, residual income can be defined as any payment system where you
receive regular, ongoing payments as a result of a single sale. The
frequency of the payments may vary – they could be weekly, monthly,
quarterly
etc. – but they are regular and ongoing with no further selling
activity once the initial sale has been made.Some potential residual
income opportunities are listed below:
* Telephone calls and line rental * Mobile phone supply, line rental
and calls. * Electricity supply .* Gas supply.* Web hosting supply.*
Autoresponder supply (monthly rental).* Any software which is supplied
based on a rental basis.* Property ental.These are just a few examples,
there are plenty more. Any product or service which is provided on
a lease or rental agreement has the potential to
provide you with residual income. Ideally, your customer will automatically
renew each week/month without any requirement for action (effort)
by either your or your customer.There may also be some scope for residual
income with disposable or consumable products. In this case, the mechanics
of the reorder process have a critical bearing upon your earning capabilities.
For true residual income, the reorder process should be automatic
as described above. This is not simply a matter of semantics or a
pedantic definition. There are several reasons why you should target
genuine residual income.Many people who set up their own small home
business do so with the express intent of eventually replacing their
salary.
Due to the regular nature of the payments, residual income is ideal
for this. In fact, it’s considerably better than having a salary
as you continue to get paid for work that was done in the past.With
genuine residual income, the automated reorder process means that
you don’t have to spend time servicing and supporting your existing
customers. You can focus your energies on finding new customers and/or
recruiting new distributors/affiliates, thereby continually growing
