Network marketing is an industry that allows you to get paid on the efforts of other people. In this article let’s take a look at why this industry is the perfect residual income business opportunity on the Internet today.

To make money as a network marketer, you have to sell products, and recruit distributors to sell products. A primary difference between network marketing and affiliate marketing is with affiliate marketing you only earn commissions on the sales of people you personally recruit.

With network marketing you get paid many levels deep depending on the compensation plan of the company you represent. The Internet makes this an outstanding way to create a residual income because you can actually build a large downline all over the world.

As I already mentioned in a previous post, you can benefit from building you network marketing business online by using an online system to generate an endless stream of highly prequalified leads.

Personaly I use the Magnetic Sponsoring System to do this. In my opinion it is the ultimate system for lead generation online. When you learn how to use this (it is quite simple) and you introduce those leads into your network marketing business you will be surprised by the results!! :-)

One key is to represent a product that can easily be shipped and doesn’t present a lot of logistic problems. For this reason finding products that are Internet-based such as Internet marketing training, information product and so on are outstanding when it comes to creating an income quickly.

Residual income just means that you get paid over and over for doing your work one time, you will earn commissions on the sales from people that you recruit and the sales from the people they recruit.

You will put together a successful team and can create a walk away income that makes network marketing the perfect residual income business opportunity.
