Affiliate Marketing VS Network Marketing

what is affiliate marketing versus
network marketing hi I'm Robert Procter
the last 20 years I've been involved in
launched over a thousand network
marketing companies today only ten
percent are still in business ninety
percent failed I want to give you some
tips and tools some hints and
suggestions to avoid being part of the
90% that failed and be part of that 10%
that succeeded so there's a big
difference in what is affiliate
marketing versus what is network
marketing I talk to a lot of different
companies every week every month and
they don't always understand what is the
difference I get some clients saying
well we're just going to be an affiliate
network marketing company or we're gonna
be an affiliate company when in essence
they're actually a network marketing
company so I want to give you a little
bit of education today on what is the
difference between affiliate marketing
and network marketing first affiliate
marketing is really digital versus
network marketing is really personal
what does that mean digital means as an
affiliate you're gonna get some banners
you're gonna get some links you're gonna
broadcast it all over the Internet
you're gonna send it out in emails
you're gonna put your banners and your
links on other websites and you're gonna
hope to get some traffic to your
affiliate program to sell your books or
your software versus network marketing
which is really a relationship
relationship based business you're gonna
call your friends you're gonna post on
your social media you're gonna call your
family you're gonna ring up kids that
you went to school with college friends
and you're gonna try to get them
involved in the business because it's a
relationship business in affiliate
there's really no relationship you're
not calling your friends and your family
saying hey you should join my affiliate
program or hey you should buy the
products from my affiliate website
usually affiliate marketing is if I own
a bookstore or I own a pet so let's say
I owned a pet store I would go join the
Amazon affiliate program and on my pet
store website I would put links to
products that people could buy at Amazon
or maybe books about cats or dogs or
Birds
that's affiliate marketing versus
network marketing is all about the
relationship also what's different about
affiliate versus network marketing is
the compensation plan is completely
different most people don't know that
amazon.com now 160 billion dollar
industry got launched as an affiliate
network market or is an affiliate
marketing company
Bezos actually launched a 2-level
affiliate marketing company in Amazon I
cease to belong to that about 13 years
ago the difference is the compensation
plan in affiliate marketing it's one or
two levels
it's you're gonna get maybe 10% on your
first level maybe 5% on your second
level there's no complicated
compensation plan or that you might find
in network marketing there's no matching
bonuses and generational bonuses there's
no ranks it's completely different
multi-level marketing is about paying
more than two levels it's a path paying
multiple levels it's about ranking up
you have ranks you have requirements to
reach those ranks and you have rewards
when you hit those in affiliate
marketing you don't have any of those
whatsoever what else is different the
software is completely different you
know that's what I've been doing for 20
years almost 30 years is providing
software to the network marketing
industry affiliate software is basic
bare-bones software you're gonna
probably download it from the web
someplace you're gonna buy it
inexpensively you can get affiliate
software for you know 100 to 500 bucks
it's not complicated software network
marketing software is a more robust type
of software system affiliate software
you're really not gonna be able to get
any changes done to it it is what it is
network marketing software you're gonna
work with a software company such as
myself to have changes made to the
system to the software to look to the
field of the back-office to the shopping
cart to really get what you want it to
be in affiliate marketing software
you're not going to have much
flexibility in that software what else
it's fixed programming versus modifiable
what does that mean again as I just said
in affiliate software you're not gonna
be able to do many modifications in MLM
software you're gonna be able to make
all those tweaks and those changes that
you want and the last thing and I think
this is really important if you're
looking to launch a company whether it
is an affiliate company because
multi-level marketing software can
handle an affiliate program if you buy
an affiliate software you're not going
to get much support usually affiliate
software is designed by two or three
guys working from a dorm working from
their home working from a small office
they don't have international offices
they don't have international support
that's what you really need if you're
going to launch a network marketing
company or any type of company expect to
make
a lot of money from an impact a lot of
people is you need multi-level marketing
software so the support that you're
gonna get from an affiliate software
package versus the support that you're
gonna get from a robust MLM software
package is really a big difference you
have been doing this for almost 20 years
over 20 years and I've consulted with a
lot of different companies on really
what they need to launch an affiliate
company versus a network marketing
company if you think I can help give you
