How To Turn A Home Based Business Into Residual Income!

A home based business does not always start out as a residual income

opportunity. For a person who starts their own home business, it takes much

some work on their part to start earning residual income. Fortunately,

turning a home based business into residual income is not as hard as it may

seem. All it takes is a little knowledge about residual income and a little

hard work.

To start earning residual income, one must first is to understand residual income.

Residual income is income that is earned on an ongoing basis without a person

having to do work each time they get paid. This is different than the linear income

we are all used to when we work a typical job. Linear income is earning income

based upon the amount of time worked. With residual income a person can work

one hour and get paid for days just for that one hour of work.

The goal for residual income is to have some way to make income without

having to be involved. Websites are a great platform for residual income.

A person sets up a website with their product catalogue. They insert a

shopping cart feature and customers can shop and buy without the owner

needing to do anything. For a pure residual income the owner should have

products drop shipped. In this case once the orders are placed they go to

the drop shipper and the products are shipped to the customer without the

owner having to do anything. This is residual income because the owner only

spent the initial time setting up the website and marketing. For that small

amount of time spent they continued to get paid every time an order is

placed.

Another option is to set up an affiliate program. In an affiliate program

the owner would sign people up to be representatives for their company.

These people or affiliates would go out and market and sell their products.

For their efforts the affiliates would get a commission on every product

they sell. To make it most profitable for the business owner, the

commission would need to be rather small, but then the affricates may be

unhappy. That is where the other part of the affiliate program comes in.

The affiliates would be able to sign up other affiliates. Every sale these

new affiliates make would result in a cut of commission to the original

affiliate. This allows the affiliate to earn more commission by signing up

others to do the work instead of having to sell more themselves. An

affiliate program benefit’s the owner because they are having both marketing

and sales handled for them by their affiliates.

Turning a home based business into residual income is not that hard to do.

By setting up the right system a business owner can make their home business

pay them again and again for minimal work on their part. It is a great

situation and one that every home business owner should try.
