Residual Income is highly sought after. Who wouldn't want an income you no longer had to work for. A Residual Income is the goal of many people, yet few achieve it.

Residual Income differs from Linear Income in that it pays a person over and over again for the same "sale". An example would be Insurance sales. An Insurance salesman is paid a commission every year a policy is in force, yet he only had to sell the policy once. A simple linear income example is that of a laborer. He trades his time and labor for a one time payment.

The MLM Business Model is an avenue that 15 million use to build a residual income. It is therefore hard to beleive that 99% of the people who start an MLM business to make a residual income fail. A residual income is hard to come by but very much desired way of earning an income.

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?

In the beginning you will be setting up lead capture pages with autoresponder followup messages to lay the foundation for your business. You will begin to sign up your 1st distributors. Training these 1st distributors is of upmost importance since they will duplicate you. If you fail at this critical stage of duplication you will fail to build an MLM Business which will produce a reliable residual income.

It will cost you money to lay a firm foundation to earn a residual income in your MLM Business. You will not earn money during this period. The best you can hope for is to break even. This is the reason the failure rate is so high. Few people can overcome laying out money for 6 months, while it "seems" that nothing is happening. Get past this crucial period, and you probably couldn't stop the momentum if you wanted to.

You must have patience to endure during these early stages of your business. Get past the 1st 6 months and start to break even or earn a little money is your goal. Teach your downline about the need for patience in the beginning, and you will have a greater chance of success. There really is no alternative. A residual income can only be built with patience and a strong foundation.
