Residual Income: Create Passive Income With 10 Minutes A Day.

By Richard Rosal

With the unstable economy before us, there are plenty of people trying to find other ways to add to their income. Making extra money comes in many different methods. One of the best sought after ways everyone wants is residual income.

What is residual income? Residual income is doing something once and being paid for it over and over again, month after month. So I could actually take a vacation and still get paid. Residual income is not about "get rich quick" - the principal very much misunderstood by many people. It requires effort, determination, especially in the beginning .

Residual income is also called passive income and can refer to any income generated through indirect involvement in something. Rental income, royalties , website revenues and portfolio dividends are all types of residual or passive income. Residual income is very popular these days and not just used by direct sales companies. There is even at least one national real estate company that offers residual income to its agents. Residual income is created when you sell a product or service one time, and customers continue to pay.

One of the best ways to create passive residual income is through direct online marketing. The ultimate goal of any online marketer is to achieve full time income by replacing his or her current salary.

As an online marketer, how can you gain residual income? You gain residual income the moment your first sale is made. If you set up your business correctly, you will see continued payoff for months or even years based on the effort you initially invested into building your business. Each sale from that point on is a direct result of your past efforts.

Affiliate programs provide the best means of creating a residual income. All the hard work has been done for you. The creation of the product, the sales letter, the credit card processing, the delivery of goods. All you need to do is get visitors to the website with your unique tracking code. This code credits you, the affiliate any sale that is generated through your link.

Where can someone find the best affiliate programs? Here are just a few of the top companies: Commission Junction, Clickbank, and Linkshare. My favorite is Clickbank. Clickbank pays the highest commission and therefore the highest residual income is generated. Ebooks are the bread and butter of clickbank's success.

Whatever way you choose to create residual income, it's the best feeling to know that you've created multiple streams of income through online direct marketing which gives you financial options.
