One great thing about network marketing is how you can earn residual income from MLM programs. Here are two ideas on how you can do that.

1. Autoship

Today it’s possible to run the majority of your retail business on the Internet.

If you are selling a product that is used up and needs to be purchased again autoship is the way to go. The customer buys the product online and signs up for autoship to receive it in the future.

The more customers you have on autoship the more money you are going to make. Every month that the customer’s order is processed you continue to make money over and over.

2. Wholesale

One of the great advantages of network marketing is purchasing products from yourself at wholesale.

When you build a downline you continue to make money on the purchases of people underneath you. How much money you make will be determined by the compensation plan of the MLM company you are in.

However, many network marketers are extremely loyal and will purchase as many products as they can from themselves. As your group grows you will continue to make more money based on the amount of purchases these people are making for themselves.

You even make money on the retail sales of people in your downline. This is just another way residual income from MLM makes this opportunity is so strong.

As many people have found out in the current economic slump having all your income eggs in one basket is not a good idea.

Many people who have lost their jobs also lost the only way they had to make money.

On the Internet it is possible to create multiple streams of income and a good way to do that is to build residual income streams.

Multiple streams of income just mean you’re earning money in more than one way. Residual income means you continue to get paid even when you’re no longer working.

This is also known as creating a walk away income and in the past was primarily promoted through network marketing.

MLM opportunities continue to be a great way to develop a residual income.

As a matter of fact more people are making money in network marketing than any time in history.

This is due primarily to how much easier it is to sell products on the Internet and to enroll new distributors.
