One needs to invest wisely especially in this period of economic recession in order to make profits. There are areas that one can put one's money, time, energy, intellect, etc and make residual income for life. This wise investment would ensure that the money keep coming into your bank account, alert pay, paypal, liberty reserve, etc even if you are not working daily.
Some of such areas that could fetch you residual income for life include:
1. Stock: Investing in the stock of viable companies would ensure you keep receiving dividends yearly for life as long as those companies remain functional. You also receive periodic share bonuses which help to keep your stock growing; and within a space of 10 to 15 years they would have really grown large. You even end up leaving the shares for your children to reap.
2. Affiliate Programmes: Affiliate programmes are also a very nice way to earn residual incomes for life. You could help promote the products already developed by other people so long as they are problem-solving. You pay for the Private Label Right (PLR) and sell them as your own product. You could also develop your own product and market them through affiliate system where others help you to sell them while you keep receiving some percentage of the profit without doing any market yourself. One good place to do this is in Clickbank. You may become an affiliate of website hosting companies, servicing companies, electronics companies, etc and receive payment regularly for referring customers to them through your affiliate links.
3. Blogging: Blogging is a mini website that is easy to set up and maintain; yet it keeps bringing in money to the blogger. There are sites that allow you to set up a blog for free (e.g. blogger.com). Putting nice content on your blog and getting a lot of traffic would ensure you make money daily by having Google AdSense on it. You could also promote your affiliate programmes, clickbank and personal services through your blog. Links are inserted on the blog which take visitors to your sales page where they can buy and put money in your bank account. You also promote your services by writing promotional articles which you submit to articles directories with your signature in the resource box to help direct visitors to where to buy your products. Some of the places where you could promote your blog include EzineArticles, Searchwarp, Isnare, Articletrader, Article city, Article ally, Webpronews, homebiztools, goarticles, ezadsuccess, etc. People would always buy your products so long as your blog remains on the Net and you keep updating from time to time.
4. Website: Developing and hosting a website of your own is also a big way to make money for life. It works like a blog; though may be bigger. You simply render services that people would need and they would patronize your site. Your website could be on dating, business, forum, healthcare, etc. Make the site interactive and interesting, and people would keep flocking to it. If you place some Google adsense, affiliate link, clickbank, amazon referral link, etc on it you will make money daily. You could also provide advert spaces for advertisers to place their adverts, and they would pay you weekly or monthly as the case may be.
5. Consultancy: Render a consultancy service and you will be surprised how many people would patronize you. You could handle issues like marriage advice/counseling, website development, software design, business management, e-commerce, dating, "how-to" services, etc; a lot of people needing advice would come. You end up making income daily without over stressing yourself. There would always be customers so long as you are able to meet their special needs.
6. Writing: Writing is one other area that could bring you residual income for life. If you write a good book, especially if it teaches people how to solve a specific problem, it would be needed by so many people. When the demand for such book is high, you keep printing and reprinting from time to time to get money. The book could also be edited or updated periodically to meet up the need of the time. By so doing, you will never lack money because your book keeps taking care of a special need.
