When you search for ways to make money online you will come across opportunities in affiliate marketing and network marketing. If you are not sure how these two business models work you will enjoy this article on understanding the differences between both of them.
The main difference between network marketing and affiliate marketing lies in building a downline of distributors. As an affiliate marketer you will primarily make your money selling products or performing a specific action for an affiliate merchant. This could include getting paid by a click or by the lead.
Some affiliate marketing programs have a 2 tier feature. This means that you can also make money on the sales of anybody you personally recruit. However you will not make any money on people that they recruit.
You cannot build a downline of affiliate marketers that you make money on. If building a large organization is something that appeals to you then you want to look at the network marketing business model.
In network marketing you get paid to sell products. You also make money as products move through your downline.
This not only includes people that you personally sponsor, but it includes your downline distributors which can go several levels deep. Exactly how many people you earn money on will vary from one MLM company to the next.
Each one has its own compensation plan. However many network marketing companies also pay you a bonus on the overall volume of the entire company.
This is a great feature becomes as the company grows you get to share in the profits. This does not happen with an affiliate marketing company.
With an affiliate marketing company you can make very high commissions on products you sell. This is especially true if you are selling digital information products.
Some of theses products will pay you as high as 75% in commissions. You can find thousands of them to sell at affiliate networks such as ClickBank.
Affiliate programs are free to join. Therefore they tend to draw thousands of people into them who never do anything with their business.
Network marketing programs require a fee to get started. Therefore you will not have as many people join them.
However, the amount of money it takes to join an MLM company is generally pretty low, so you still have a large number of people who will join and then again not do anything with their business.
One final point to bring up is with network marketing you can generate a residual income. This means you continue to get paid long after you stop working. That is virtually impossible to do with the affiliate marketing business model.

Network Marketing: How To Advertise Outside The Box
When it comes to network marketing, we have one aim and one aim only-to get leads. A limited amount of leads simply means a limited amount of prospects for our business which in return, can affect our business’ ability overall to accumulate money. The main misconception many business owners make is that they believe that money can only come from one place, and so opt to advertise in a specific, tried and tested manner. However, by advertising outside the box and utilizing the many factors within network marketing, you too could witness an optimized level of leads-and sales.
Network marketing is a lucrative business and it is due to this that there are a number of different advertising methods that have been introduced in an attempt to effectively advertise a business. The most effective platform when it comes to advertising for your business is to realize the potential which comes from using the internet. Network marketing can be extremely effective if you opt to use the vast majority of resources that can advertise your business for free. However, the most important factor to take into consideration is to strategically use the free resources that will provide the highest amount of advertisement exposure for an increased level of financial gain.
Many businesses have realized the huge sale potential that stems from using the internet to their full advantage. The internet is the most effective method in which to advertise products and services but the main reason why so many network marketers fail to get their business off the ground is that they simply do not know how to effectively advertise what they can offer. Your product is the focus of you entire business so it is essential that you have a product that is in demand or is able to accumulate money. In the initial stages of generating leads and sales, many novice network marketers also make the mistake of turning to their friends and family to join their program or purchase goods from them. Although this is a good way in which to get the ball rolling so to speak, if they are not knowledgeable in business, this could simply be a waste of your time. You need to focus your advertising and promotion on those who are business savvy and are aware of the potential of network marketing.

Your website should be full of content, keyword optimized for a high page rank and most importantly-clearly display what the purpose of your business is. Your website should act as a non-physical salesman and so its design, layout and presentation are crucial. Once you have your website in place, you can then link it with other areas of advertising on the internet in order to increase your link building and traffic.
Article marketing is a great way in which to advertise your business for free.
