Online Residual Income
Have you heard of a concept called “residual income?” Almost all of us are more used to getting our money through linear income, where we’re paid once, directly, for an action performed or time put in.
To be paid by the hour or receive a salary is what is known a linear income. Residual income is derived from accrued earnings from a down-line or from repeat payments from a previous sale such as an insurance policy sold by an insurance agent, or when a recording artist receives income from a recording that was done 10 years ago. It keeps coming in month after month, and year after year for work you do just one time.
Most people won’t be able to make a lot of money from residual income, but that’s not its purpose. Residual income is the extra money that you keep receiving, allowing you to turn your attention to other projects. The best thing about residual income is that it comes in by itself.
