Those who want know how to earn income without effort really want to know how to earn residuals. Residual income is known as passive income, and it means an entrepreneur can make money off a creation long after that creation first hits the public scene.

How to Earn Residuals

Also known as "passive income," there are many ways to make residual income. The most obvious ways involve creating and inventing - a movie, a book, a new product - and receiving a percentage of sales. These type of residuals are often referred to as royalties. Many actors and writers receive royalties, as do singers and songwriters, in the form of movie ticket sales, DVD sales, CD sales, concert sales, etc. But not everyone can become an actor or famous singer, create a work of art or write the great American novel.

Income - Without Effort

Earning extra income is something that everybody wants and would like to do, and there are plenty of opportunities out there. Owning property that is rented out to others is great passive income - owners do practically nothing but sit back and collect. Stocks and bonds, savings accounts that earn interest - all of this is also residual income. To learn much more about investing money, wisely, check out the Investment section.
