The key to long term wealth is residual income. It can come in many forms. Any business venture should have the component of generating a long term stream of cash flows to you.
Here are just a few of my best ideas and what I use:
QUIRKY Inventors Site
Quirky is a social product development company. Your product ideas come
in, our community & design team works on them, we sell your product
worldwide, and share the revenue with our inventors & influencers.
Squidoo Lenses
Squidoo is the popular publishing platform and community that makes it
easy for you to create "lenses" online. Lenses are pages, kind of like
flyers or signposts or overview articles, that gather everything you
know about your topic of interest--and snap it all into focus. It's a supersimple, fun and powerful way to share your interests, build
your online identity and credibility, and connect with new readers and
friends. It's all free, and you could even earn a royalty for charity or
yourself.
Tiger Direct Electronics
Tiger Direct is a direct
online and catalog retailer of computers and consumer electronics.
1-800-PETMEDS
1-800-PetMeds is
America’s
largest pet pharmacy. We deliver prescription
and non-prescription pet medications along with health and
nutritional
supplements at substantial savings, direct to the consumer.
I hope these will help you start your financial independence journey.
