The pros:
You do not have to build the actual company to own into it
You can earn money even when other people sell
All MLM marketing opportunities have residual income
When, how, and where you work is at your own leisure
The cons:
You didn't create the network marketing business so if it collapses you fall
If the pay that comes in does not meet the quota, the owner(s) can take your commission without notice
It is up to you to be certain that the people you bring in succeeds as well
There are many illegal MLM companies that are only out to take your money
Affiliate marketing means you agree to sell another person or company's products for a percentage of the profits. That percentage can range from four all the way up to eighty percent, depending on the affiliate network you are associated with. You can sell their products by sending people to your own website or directly to the owner's.
The Pros:
You did not have to spend a lot of time and energy making the product
You did not need to try and test sales pages
You don't have to deal with any customer service issues
There is residual income for some products
The Cons:
If you don't have an autoresponder, you will only get paid from your client once
The owner can take the product off the market while your links are still out on the web
There is no residual income for most affiliate products
According to the information above, network marketing has an advantage on affiliate marketing with the guaranteed residual income and the clients are a part of your team for as long as you and they are in the business. Affiliate marketing has an advantage on network marketing because you don't have to worry about getting any complaints from the buyers.
Now imagine having both of these in one system; a system where you can get residual income, get the email addresses of your prospects into an autoresponder and still be able to send them to affiliate products that you don't have to worry about delivering or refunding.
Imagine that system teaching you how to get leads on autopilot and never having to chase them again. Or imagine if that system teaches you how to get paid from the affiliate products even when these MLM leads never join your network marketing business opportunity.
Would that be a power punch or what?
Yes it would!
