Getting paid without having to do anything would be appealing to anyone. You can do just that with residual income. In home residual income is totally possible if you apply yourself. You have to do something, at least one time, from home, then the earnings continue for an indefinite time. There are many thing you can do to get this. However, a few precautions are in order in doing this.

This income is one that doesn't require ongoing actions, generally, except maybe a periodic check. Some require more attention than others, but basically it continues to pay over the years with a hands-off approach. This allows one to retire when the time comes without having to depend on their savings. Savings rarely lasts as long as anticipated, and can be quickly depleted in case of illness or such.

A source can be real estate income. Though not usually thought of as residual, it can be. Buying into a group that handles real estate gives you the money without having to personally handle it. There are different types of these groups. Some require less investment, and others require a lot of investment and a membership with a fee. The more investment required, the higher the return.

Another lucrative income source is blogging. It does require a good bit of initial work, but later pretty much runs on its own. You do need to provide content from time to time, but you can outsource it to others if you don't care to write yourself. If you like writing, however, it is something that will require very little effort that you may actually enjoy.

If you love writing, with just a little talent and perseverance, you can write a book to add an ongoing money source. It is not really an easy thing to do, but enjoyable if you love it. It is not guaranteed to be successful, but the evidence of many successful writers let us know it is possible. Like anything else started from home, there is quite a bit of work in the beginning, but with less ongoing.

Another good source of making money from home is to have an online store. This can be done in one of several ways. One is to have a product of your own, made by you, to sell. This can be an info-product, or a physical product that you make in quantity, selling them from a website or a shopping website. If you want to be less involved, you can get a service or individual to do the sales and shipping, with a cut of the revenue.

An online store is another way to earn an ongoing income. You simply list an ad for the product on you blog or website, or both. You will have some initial work in setting it all up, but will become a way to earn without much effort. You control the amount of income by the amount of work you wish to do. He more you work, the more money you make.

Another source that requires a good deal of work in the beginning, but later is not so intense, is having a YouTube channel. There are any numbers of subjects to work up, and choosing wisely can mean the difference between success and failure. It is important to do a search of things that would draw a large audience. You can also do a blog or online store that ties in with your subject, link between the two.
