Written by: Pasi Kaarakainen

Article Overview: Residual internet income is one of those fantastic concepts that appeals to most internet based business owners. In this article we will talk about three bad things that can happen to your internet based business when you rely on residual income.

Internet Based Business - What Is Bad About Residual Internet Income

Residual internet income is a great way to start earning with your internet based business opportunity. With this kind of concept you can get paid on a regular basis for the work you have done once. Nevertheless, it is not all good when it comes to residual internet income. Let's talk about some bad things you should keep in mind when you consider of starting a residual internet based business income opportunity.

1. You can create residual income for example selling membership products. People get billed every month as long as they maintain their membership. This gives you an opportunity to earn money in the future for making sales today. The bad thing is many membership products have a high turnover rate. Therefore it's difficult for you to create a true residual income because you're constantly making new sales to replace the ones that you've lost. The only way around this is to find a membership program that sells products that people will continue to stick with long after they originally join.

2. Network marketing is a fantastic concept where you can get paid on the efforts of others. For example you can build a downline distributorship and earn commissions on every product that your distributors purchase and sell themselves. This all sounds fantastic and everyone would want to do that right? In reality what often happen is you build a large downline distributorship and when you attempt to walk away people begin to quit. Usually the reason for this is that they are not attached to the product.

In the past people join network marketing businesses because they fell in love with the idea of making all this money. In reality the products were overpriced and when people were not making money they quit purchasing them and the business fell apart. However, you truly can create residual internet income using network marketing today. You just need to be in a program that offers unique products. This means that your customer can not walk down to Wal-Mart or Sears and by the exact same thing you are selling for half the price.

3. The final bad thing we want to talk about residual income is many people fall into a management trap too early in their home internet based business. This means they want to manage the business they have as opposed to working on creating new business.

The only true way to really create a residual internet income is to work extremely hard finding new internet based business opportunities on a consistent basis until your income is so large it can never totally fall apart.

Re: Who inspired you to start? - Hi Evan, I was inspired by Mr. Bill Gates ever since I was a student learning Computers. But I was motivated for Internet as my Business, when I read his book "The Road Ahead" in 1995. It was in this book that Gates laid out his vision of an interconnected world built around the Internet. Based on the premise that life will be transformed by the convergence of inexpensive computing and inexpensive communications, Gates drew from his experience at the center of the personal computer revolution to give insights on the growth, evolution and impact of technology. I had always looked up to Bill Gates as my idol. When I read this book, it made me more focussed on Microsoft and Internet, The Internet was one of the upcoming things in this time. So I took over to the Internet as my primary business. Regards,
