Is linear income a good way to make money? With linear income you get paid a fixed rate for what you do.

Generally you are trading time for money. People who work for an hourly wage have a linear income.

If they earn $8 an hour, and work 40 hours a week, this will earn them $320 for the week. The only way they can make more money is to either get a raise, or to work more hours.

Teachers are an example of somebody who has a linear income. They are paid a salary, and no matter how hard they work, that is how much money they are going to make.

Linear income is okay for some people. However, if you are an ambitious person you may want to consider another type of income.

Leveraged income is great for people who want to develop ideas and turn that into a long term income. Most millionaires have a leveraged income. They often do not work as hard as the people they have working for them.

Residual income is another great way to make money. You get paid over and over for work you're doing one time.

Network marketing would be a good example of a business model that has residual income. Life insurance sales, and selling a monthly membership with a recurring commission would be more examples.

Let's look a little bit closer at network marketing. There are two ways you can develop a residual income with this business model. In both of these you are able to leverage your mlm your business opportunity to make more money without working harder to do it.

1. Personal retail sales. Today you can use the Internet to sell products for your MLM company. Many products contain a monthly autoship or re-billing option.

This is great for you because you will make money every month their retail order is shipped. This continues to happen without you personally been involved.

2. Sponsor distributors. Building a downline of distributors is a long term business opportunity to make residual income.

You can personally sponsor front line distributors and teach them how to do the same thing. Over time your downline will grow. As people are purchasing products, and selling them, your volume will increase and so will your residual income.

Linear income is a good way to pay the bills. It generally is not a good way for you to enhance your lifestyle or to become rich. For that you need to find ways to leverage your time and money to develop more income.
