Affiliate Marketing and MLM/Network Marketing

Affiliate Marketing and MLM/Network Marketing

Affiliate Marketing is one of the hottest money making opportunities on the web, just about every company is offering you a small profit, to promote their product. Research affiliate programs, if you have not done so, but be careful not to get sucked in to a scam. If you lead your clients, customers, partners, or downline to a scam, that will ruin your reputation on the web. Stick with well known programs and you should be good, there is plenty of safe opportunities out there. However affiliate marketing usually is one level marketing, you promote a site on your blog, someone clicks and buys, you get paid, they tell someone about the great deal, but do not direct the person they told to your site, you get nothing. It is more than just one lost sell, you lose a lifetime customer, lost profits, and think about the bigger picture. How many people do they know? 

With multi level marketing you could capture all visitors to your site, and possibly their family, friends, and the people they work with. How can you do this? By offering them a piece of the pie, and whom ever they recommend. It depends upon you, the compensation, the training, and the depth of your downline. Caution if you go too deep you will thin out the profits, however if you go too wide, you lose control of your organization. This is where most MLM marketing systems could revampt their marketing plan. We will talk about the structuring and building a proper downline, in another post.

You are linked to an awesome affiliate program, you want to try this MLM system to increase profits. That is a good thought, however the long term goal is to operate the MLM system well in to the future. One of the greatest benefits of a multi level marketing system, is the ability to accumulate residual income, wealth that grows automatically at some point. 

Here is a scenario to ponder on, you have an affiliate program that pays you sixty-dollars. You are willing to split your profits in half, you offer one half to your customer, on the condition that he recommend your site, sell your affilliate offer, and sign up persons to be a part of this organization that you are building. If you stopped at yourself and two other people, you would profit one-hundred-twenty-dollars, assumming the third person only wanted the affiliate offer, the second person would profit sixty-dollars, you would have built a lasting relationship that could carry over to other endeavors. This is just the start, now if you couple that sell with a product that is bought over and over, a product that we consume or use everyday, vitamins, energy drinks, water, health and beauty aids, and the like. Now you have a sustanible business, that will provide you with a residual income for the rest of your life, but not just you, also your organization. This is the way business should be conducted, everybody wins.

Affiliate marketing is a very profitable business, and if you merge it with MLM/Network Marketing it becomes a business with limitless possibilities and an unlimited source of income. In the above scenario, if the third person introduced to the business, was offered the same deal and so on, you would then have to start building outwards so all would benefit. When building such a network, you will have to calculate the expenses involved to develope the system, but those expenses can be minimal, especially if you chose to sell your system as a book, dvd, or App.

Can you imagine if the founder or founders of Facebook was to institute a MLM system? Wow, the profits alone, would be awe inspiring. Just consider the organization that would be produced from such a radical idea, it would be the largest MLM network, and most profitable organization in the world. Talk about social networking with a twist. At last count, and at the time of this writing, Facebook has over one billion users, what a wasted opportunity. Can you believe, that they are still trying to figure out how to make Facebook profitable?
