Linear income is what most of us make if we have a "job". We trade our skills and time for a one time payment. A person like an insurance salesperson makes commissions over and over again on the sale of the same policy.



A residual income is not easy to come by. Those who use the MLM business to build a residual income fail in staggering numbers. These numbers can be as much as a 99% failure rate.

Most people fail to build an Mlm Business and earn residual income because they fail to understand that it takes time to build an MLM Business. In the beginning is when the MLM distributor is building the foundation of the business. This is the most important time in the business, yet it is the least lucrative.

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?

An example of building your MLM Business foundation is creating lead capture pages with followup messages thru an autoresponder. You are signing up your 1st level and training them. Fail to train your downline correctly and you will fail to duplicate. Duplication is the key to residual income in MLM and success.

While you are laying your foundation for residual income, you will not make much money or possibly even spend extra funds to get your MLM Business "off the ground". Failure here will result in a downline that does not grow. Pay the price you need to here, and you will begin to see real tangible results 6 months down the road.

A residual income you can retire on belongs to those who have the patience to succeed. They can see the end from the beginning, they are prepared for the lonhg haul. Be ready to go the distance, with no distraction from acheiving your ultimate goal, and you will end up with a strong MLM business.
