As soon as you understand the concept of recurring income you'll probably find it is hard to get it out of your mind. It is possible for average people to make residual income on the internet. The affiliate marketing business model provides one of the best ways to do that.

With affiliate marketing you are given products to sell from the affiliate merchant. As most of us do not have our own products to promote on the Internet this is good.

Also you are provided with an affiliate website to promote that has your products on it where a customer can purchase them from you. For every sale you make you will earn a commission.

This was primarily done by selling a product in the past. Nowadays you can also earn money on pay per click affiliate programs and cost per action affiliate programs.

When you sell affiliate products that pay you in the future as well as for the sale you make today your compensation can also become residual. One example of this would be selling a membership to an affiliate training program.

Many affiliate merchants provide a product funnel for you to develop a residual income as well. Firstly you earn a commission by selling a lower priced item up front. By selling higher priced products on the back end means you can continue to make money.

The fact that the merchant takes care of everything once you make the initial sale is the nice thing about this concept. Also you'll continue to be compensated as though you are working on future sales too.

You will be able to find affiliate products for nearly all product categories. But it might be a little more difficult finding ways to make residual income with these affiliate programs.

Think in terms of products a person would need to re-purchase in the future. Hence the reason why membership sites are so popular to promote when you are looking for residual income.

Also you can develop a long term income by doing things such as building a large number of websites and putting Google Adsense ads on them. People who do this focus on niche marketing and try to create a site that will continue to pay them every month even when they are no longer promoting it.

You do not have to sell any products with Google ads. All you do is promote your website with ads on them and you make money when people click on the ads.

The above are a few thoughts on how to make residual income. The more you look into this you will find there is no limitation on the number of ways you can do it in the affiliate marketing business model.
