entrepreneur.com - Study Business Models

Are you really serious about learning how to create residual income and set up opportunities and businesses? I thought you would be. So if you want to be in a position where you are making this kind of money then I recommend that you study business models that are already succeeding at this.

It’s true that we often can’t see exactly how a business is making its money but if you take some time and try to break down a company that is succeeding you’ll be surprised at how much you can actually understand. Large businesses are even easier to understand because they often publish books about how they achieved success and break down the steps on exactly what actions they took to get there.

So what do I mean when I say to study them? Well basically what I mean is reviewing their business model as thoroughly as possible and taking notes on how their business is being run. So in the case of passive income generation you’ll want to find some models that fall into this category and learn as much about what they are doing as possible.

Now once you have found a business that you want to tear apart a bit and learn about what do you do next?

I generate most of my residual income through the Internet so let’s talk about that for a minute. Say you want to develop a money making blog about “Stock Investments”. What do you do then? Start by making a list of the top “Stock Investments” websites that you can find on the Internet. Make lists of what they are doing right and also take time to find out how they have set up their cash flows.

At this point you should have a comprehensive list of what successful residual income opportunities look like. This list will help guide you towards what you should be thinking of setting up. Remember the models you’re studying took time, effort, and innovative thinking to get where they are. It’s also going to take you some time as well. Don’t get overwhelmed and think that you can’t do it – you can and will if you make your plan and take daily action!

Free Residual Income – What does it Cost?

Posted on November 24th, 2008 in Residual Income Business, Successful Thinking & Strategies | No Comments »

There is no such thing as free residual income when you start out in this game. After many years, some solid work, or some great investments you may be able to hit the point where the money is just flowing in residually. What I want to warn you about is not to fall for the gimmicks out there that teach you that there are was that you can make a passive income for free – simply not true. If you do find a simple and easy way that is free just let me know so I can do it and also write about it here at this blog.

The reason I decided to write this post is because last night I was surfing around YouTube.com checking out what kind of income opportunities people are talking about and pushing. There was one video that some dude made complete with hip hop music blaring in the background talking about all you have to do is mail a postcard to people and you’ll start making 100% passive income through this process. Every time someone makes a phone call and signs up you start making money. Do you folks honestly think that this sounds like a business you want to try your luck with and start putting time into?

Seriously what I want you folks to start thinking about is solid business ideas and practices. Build up foundations behind what you do and invest time and money into something solid as well as education. Don’t try and take the easy way out.

Getting financially stable and building up residual income streams is not going to be an easy task. Just think of it like that. If for some reason it comes to you a bit quicker then great but don’t think that it’s going to be free or fast or easy – if it was everyone would be mailing postcards and sipping cocktails on some sandy beach in the pacific.

Online Passive Income - Learning through Blogs

Posted on November 20th, 2008 in Making Passive Income Online, Residual Income Business, SEO For Bloggers, Successful Thinking & Strategies | No Comments »

When starting to learn all about how you can earn online passive income you really need to choose a few good blogs to start reading often and just dissect everything that they talk about in relation to the subject. The great thing about this method is there are just so many good quality blogs on the internet these days that deal with building up passive income streams, investing, real estate, and much more. The hard part is just choosing which ones to read.

I must admit that on the Internet, information overload is one of the most difficult things to deal with. There are just so many websites or blogs out there. Some are great and many are also filled with information that is not too good. So what do you do to deal with this? I recommend finding a few blogs or newsletters that you are really learning from and just stick to those. You really need to block out the rest.

Below are a few of my personal favorite websites or blogs that focus mostly on learning about how to make residual income online:

If you visit and study from this list alone you will learn tons about making online passive income. What I would do is make up your mind to read 1 hour per day from each of these sites and ignore the rest. Or make your own list of about 3 or 4 blogs max and just read them for a maximum of 1 hour per day. Spend the rest of your time applying what you are learning and keep working on trying to set up you income business opportunities!

Make Online Income by Focusing On Each Site

Posted on November 19th, 2008 in Making Passive Income Online, Residual Income Business, SEO For Bloggers, Successful Thinking & Strategies | No Comments »

We all want to make online income and get excited about it when we start out. One common mistake that many beginners in this exciting game start to do is they build way too many websites to handle. Now don’t get me wrong here, having a bunch of websites is recommended and a great business model to follow. If you do that it means you’re setting up more and more internet residual income business opportunities. What I’m trying to say here is if you are building multiple websites to make sure that you at least set up a basic checklist for each website that you try out to see what kind of results you get before you move on to developing your next passive income yielding website!

So what exactly do I mean by doing them properly and how do you actually go about setting up a website that can produce passive income for you? Well you need to cover the bases with each of your sites that you actually want to do well with.

Some steps I like to follow for new websites are the following:
• Spend time on each site selecting your keywords that you will go after.
• Choose a good domain name preferably with your keywords in it and if possible, buy yourself an aged domain name.
• Write some keyword related articles/posts (at least 10 or more pages). These posts should be SEO optimized.
• Install the free Stat Counter Software
• Start building those links! Article marketing, blog roll exchanges, commenting, etc.

At the beginning stage there is no need to focus too heavily on the design. If your site starts to get a bunch of traffic at that time you can put more time and energy in to the graphic design side of things. If your site really doesn’t work out for you then at least you won’t have wasted tons of time on doing up a design that doesn’t help produce the income you are going after.

There is no doubt that not all your sites will turn out to be income producing machines but some of them will definitely have potential. What I usually like to do is spend some time on the above list for each website and then start up my next. After about 2 or 3 months if you did your keyword research right, did proper SEO optimization and followed the above tips you should start to see some traffic. If not at that point you can continue to try and work on developing your website or you can leave it for the time being and work on more promising websites. From personal experience some sites will start getting traffic quicker then others.

So if you are actually serious about making an income online and turning this into a true business opportunity then you really need to perform the above to each website you build to see if it has potential. There is no problem in having a bunch of sites that you are working on but make sure that if you want to see the true potential at least follow the basic steps outlined above!

Create Passive Income – Surround Yourself with the Right People

Posted on November 11th, 2008 in Residual Income Business, Successful Thinking & Strategies | No Comments »

If you want to actually create a residual income business that brings in income on auto-pilot then you’re going to want to surround yourself with people that are thinking the same way or are already doing the same thing.

The answer should be quite obvious to you but it’s strange to see that many people don’t do that. If your goal is to really immerse yourself and learn methods of how to create residual income then make friends or start talking to people who already understand how to do it and do it successfully. Not only will these people motivate you but you’ll learn a lot from them about how they have been able to earn income whether it be online, through real estate, or even just investing.

So how do you find these people that understand how to start a residual income business or good cash making opportunities? Well first start by looking around your social network of friends, family, colleagues, and people you take classes with. Chances are that if you actually ask around you’ll be able to find a few people that are into the subject. These people are great because they know you on a personal level and are often eager to explain to people who are interested all about what they do and how they go about doing it.

After you look around your personal network for people who are into these kind of opportunities I would then start to check around the Internet. There are countless forums, blogs, membership websites, and more devoted entirely to the subject. Especially if you want to make income online and trying internet related business opportunities you’ll have no shortage there. One word of warning though is be careful who you listen to online is not all so called income making “gurus” will teach you true fundamentals and tactics that you can actually apply.

So if you’re truly interested in starting up a business that can make residual income and you want to learn how and get started, of course read tons books but also make sure to surround yourself with people that are already doing the same. You’ll be surprised at how much they will be willing to teach you about what they do to generate income and some of the strategies they have used in order to get to where they are.

Getting Passive Investment Income from Others

Posted on November 11th, 2008 in Residual Income Business, Successful Thinking & Strategies | No Comments »

If you want to start a business and are looking for passive investment income then you might want to try and go about it with the help of others. You see, many of the things we talk about on this blog related to getting into and starting your first residual income business opportunity may take a bit of cash to get going. That could include hiring a coach, putting a down payment on a business or piece of real estate, whatever. The truth is you may need some cash flow to get into this game.

If you don’t have the income needed to start right away this doesn’t mean that you should just sit around and wait. You need to be creative and think of ways to go about getting it. This could mean borrowing the income from others or earning it yourself and then investing it into you new business opportunities.

The only problem is that earning it yourself can sometimes take lots of time before you are able to get together enough money to get any residual income business idea going. Let’s take for example real estate – if you want to buy a place, then you’re obviously going to need a pretty big down payment in order to secure the purchase. Don’t let that initial cash slow you down think about friends, family members, relatives, business associates, or whoever might be interested in building up a money stream together with you.

Let me be clear now that this form of raising capital may not be that easy but it is doable. You will soon see that after you start studying more about the importance of learning all about money and how to make it your talk will become contagious to others around you. If you know what you are actually talking about and have valid ideas of how you will put what you know into an action plan then people will become interested an actually take you seriously.

Use your mind and try to come up with business opportunities to present to others that are already generating a good income. If you show to them that you are knowledgeable in this area and you have valid residual income business ideas to pursue there is a good chance that they may be able to or interested in getting involved in with you.

I would say that if you have no experience in creating passive income streams then you might need a bit of time before you can expect to gather money from others. For now just study this subject thoroughly and start applying some ideas that you have studied about. I would say online is the best place to start just because it takes time and knowledge but not much money before you can set up an income stream.

Create Residual Income by Staying Positive

Posted on November 4th, 2008 in Residual Income Business, Successful Thinking & Strategies | 1 Comment »

If you want to be someone who is successful and is able to come up with ways to create residual income then you are going to need to learn how to be positive. You may say what does earning residual income have to do with being positive but I must say it actually has everything to do with it.

If you learn how to be positive most of the time you will not only be able to constantly focus on the work needed to get done in order to be successful you’ll also want to constantly work hard at what you are doing and keep improving. They key is you must be interested in what you are striving towards. If you are not interested and have no passion on what you are working on then I admit staying positive can be challenging for almost anybody.

Building a residual income business opportunity takes time and effort. What I recommend is you decide to yourself that no matter what comes your way you will try your best to work hard and try and stay positive. Of course there will be times when you’re working hard on creating your passive income stream that you feel negative and want to give up but don’t – just keep working towards the final goal of yours.

Another tip I can recommend to you is to read many books on positivity and earning income. I don’t think that by thinking about creating residual income alone you’ll get rich but I do believe that the more books on the subject you read the more involved and even obsessed you’ll become with making it happen that eventually it will. I can say from experience that I read more then 20-30 books on positive thinking and also how to earn online income and invest before I even made 1 penny doing all of this. Basically what I’m saying is keep a positive attitude and continue studying this field and the goals you are working towards will come true and will pay off!

A Home Based Business Passive Income

Posted on November 2nd, 2008 in Making Passive Income Online, Residual Income Business, Successful Thinking & Strategies | No Comments »

If you want to start earning and develop your own home based business residual income then you’ll need to develop some key characteristics and follow them strictly. Many people hear about passive residual income business and opportunities and want to quickly get involved in them but have no real clue what it takes or what direction they are going towards.

The first thing that I recommend is that you need to decide that you’re willing and able to put time into learning about. You’ll need to study up on all the ins and outs of how people go about building a residual income sources. I understand that many of you have full time jobs, families to feed, and bills to pay. Well I can tell you so does everybody. If you really want to make this happen for yourself then you’ll need to make a time commitment of at least 10 hours per week towards learning about and then implementing strategies related to passive income generation.

Another thing I want to talk about is selecting the information that you decide to consume on this topic each day. There is so much garbage out their in the world trying to teach us all about the best methods of reaching success but the truth is that most of it is pure trash! If you sign up for every newsletter, bookmark every blog, or order every course you’ll not only waste time, money, and valuable energy, but you’ll end of feeling like you’ve gotten no where in terms of your

Find yourself some trusted names in this field like Robert Kiyosaki, and Robert Allen and then read and follow as much of their advice as you can. These guys are masters of making passive income streams and also are great at teaching about them because they have direct experience and have succeeded. Also find a few website blogs that teach about the method of income generation that you are pursuing and study/follow these couple of blogs daily.

The bottom line is when you are starting out learning about all the different residual income business opportunities out there you need to be very selective in the amount of information you decide to consume. Find a few good sources, study them, and then most importantly implement them meaning take action if you want to see results!

Residual Income Model – Paid Surveys Not One of Them

Posted on November 2nd, 2008 in Making Passive Income Online, Residual Income Business | No Comments »

If you want to build a residual income model that actually is passive then I need to warn you that doing paid surveys is definitely not one of them. I want to make something clear; the purpose of why I developed this website is to speak about passive earning opportunities not work at home businesses ideas necessarily. I will talk about those business models as well but you need to know that working at home and earning a residual income are two completely different subjects so don’t get them confused please.

So now after clearing that up let me explain to you a bit about how to earn income online through paid surveys. As you may or may not know what customers and consumers think of large corporations is very important to the big companies so naturally they are willing to pay you for filling out online surveys. So in order for you to earn online income you need to take time to do these surveys and then after completing them all properly you get paid. It is at home work but it’s definitely not residual income as I stated just before.

So if you are interested in making income online doing paid surveys I’d just take some time and research who offer the best payouts. Go to Google and do some searches on paid surveys and see what comes up. Read forms and blogs and make a list then start signing up for some of the websites that allows you to take surveys. Remember I myself don’t promote doing it because it definitely is not a solid residual income business opportunity.

Create Residual Income with Diversification

Posted on November 2nd, 2008 in Residual Income Business, Successful Thinking & Strategies | No Comments »

If you guys are actually serious and want to create residual income that will last and keep flowing into your pocket month after month you need to get familiar with the term diversification. If you really want to earn residual income then you can’t put all of your eggs in one basket. What you need to do is keep you eyes and mind open for all sorts of possible opportunities that might come your way.

First of all what your goal should be is to set up a bunch of or as many passive income streams as you possibly can. In my case I have residual income coming in from real estate, the internet, as well as some mutual funds I have set up. This is just one example but the power of this is that each stream may bring in a few hundred or a few thousand dollars a month. Also if you loose one income source the others ideally would still be producing income.

One thing I want to clarify before I even continue is make sure not to chase all sorts of residual income opportunities from the beginning and try and master all of them you’ll only end up feeling frustrated and confused. Go after each business opportunities slowly and make sure that you are earning cash first before you move onto the next step. So for example if you have decided to set up a residual income stream through Google Adsense, make sure you have that money flowing in first before you start chasing another opportunity like making money through affiliate marketing programs.

What I’m trying to get across in this post is don’t put all your eggs in one basket but at the same time don’t try to focus on too many residual income opportunities at the exact same time because you won’t get anywhere. My advice is set one up and when it starts making you some income move on to the next business opportunity and keep that pattern going until you have multiple streams of passive income coming in. Even if one stream only produces $50 per month you may have others that make you $300 per month. Before you know it they will all add up!
