The number of people trying to earn residual income on the Internet is staggering. Why are so many people failing at that seemingly unattainable goal to earn residual income that they can retire on?
Patience is need to obtain a residual income and that is the number one reason that people fail. Residual income comes in over a period of time and is not a lump sum payment. Developing memberships or customers who order on a monthly basis will take time. Only then you will be able to earn residual income. This is accomplished through list building ie; article writing, blogging and others.
Many years ago, a very famous network marketing guru sent out a snail mail on his latest offering. In the letter he described how he sent out 1000 letters and signed up 400 people in his Online Network Marketing Opportunity. He said this proves how "hot" this company was and you better sign up quick if you wanted to get "spillover" and earn residual income.
What he failed to mention is that the 1000 people he mailed his offer to were former seminar attendees of his own making. These people paid money already to hear Mr. Using his tried and proven methods, Guru spoke about how easy it was to earn a residual income. Of course most of these people signed up with Mr Guru because they had a prior relationship and he was the expert.
Most of us don't have this advantage when we first start out trying to earn residual income. But that is ok, just remember it will take some time to to match what Mr Guru has accomplished.
Most people will succeed if they just don't quit. Make sure that you join a reputable business opoportunity. If possible the company you associate with should be at least 5 years old. As I am sure you know, most companies fail in the first 5 years. It becomes very difficult to earn residual income when the company you represent goes out of business and is no longer paying it's distributors.
And don't fall for the latest "Launch" hype that is so prevalent on the Internet. Don't sign up for every opportunity that comes up in front of you. You must stay focused in order to earn residual income. Remember the time factor we discussed earlier. You must keep focused on generating a strong residual income so you will be able to retire on it!

Can I keep my online love interested?
By: MusicIsMyHotHotSex | 01-05-2008
My boyfriend is in England.He's in the air force and we met accidently through MySpace.Knowing him has changed my life and I have fallen for him.He said he loved me first and I feel that he means it.The predicament is he won't be coming home for 5 months and I'm really worried about running out of things to talk about and keeping our relationship interesting even though he's far away.I also got out of a really bad marriage last year.My ex-husband was a chronic liar and cheater and I worry constantly that the man coming home to me may turn out to be a completely different person than who I fell in love with.My previous relationships have really screwed me up and sometimes I feel that it's just not worth it to start over.Has anyone here ever really fallen in love sight-unseen and made it work?How can I keep our phone and IM relationship interesting so he doesn't get bored?
Is it ethical to follow people on TWITTER that don't want to be followed?
By: SimonStudio | 01-05-2008
Last night I left three of my AVATARS in loop. I lost around 85 followers.I shouldn't of let my cat try to talk me into bed. he kept on begging. I didn't realize the feed would haywire. My aliases on TWITTER are listed on my website. I'm keeping it transparent so it doesn't bite me in the ass. Eventually I assume most of you will unfollow n block me... but by that point I will have perfected the craft of puppet accounts! puppet accounts can be fed N2 a root account, where I can follow all fools that thought they could block me. there is NO blocking! the final account will take the RSS feed of multiple accounts and run it N2 one account. you will not realize the new account is me. twitter is about information, not privacy. this should scare off all the Betty eMOMs into a panopticon surveillance phobia. I realize that heirarchy is part of life's function, but as a thinking person I have to make sure my reputation has thorns. it is less important to me if you follow me or not. what is important is I can follow enemies. this is all about following people that block me. that is it. I don't care if they pay attention or not. I'm not the "BUGBLATTER BEAST" if you don't follow me, I'm still dangerous to values that have not been tried. I know u can't defeat logic. I don't know anyone here enough to know if they r enemies yet, what I do know is most people unfollow n "block" because of nothing. It could be tyranny, but I didn't create TWITTER, and if you don't like it... YOU CAN'T BLOCK me. those r my thorns. u can UNFOLLOW with the button, but if u anger me I will enter ur community n convince ur friends that ur wrong. no more BLOCKING. interesting feeds r created by those whose opinions r not popular. they block when questioned. I want in. I want 2 learn n dialogue. I know I don't have 2 like or agree 2 benefit. I love reading Nietzsche n Machiavelli. I assume they would block. my cycle last night was not intentional. I already realized it was theoretically possible. I was trying to filter it out. the idea is to cycle and control multiple avatars from a central one. not create a loop. if I can accomplish this then I can speak to those that block me. speak to the dead so to speak. theoretically I can make god speak. end result was creating a loop.Is it ethical to follow people on TWITTER that don't want to be followed?
