In order to benefit from these two types of money making model, one needs to understand their differences and similarity.  

Let examine the difference of these revenue generating model in term of how they pay their marketers.

 
Affiliates marketing paid you up front huge commission, ranging from 50% to 80% when a sale is made. Commonly most affiliate marketing compensates you on the sales that you bring in yourself. In another word, you could bring in a large group of affiliates for the company but only get paid on the direct sales. There is no motivation for you to train someone to become a successful affiliate. In order to overcome this issue, some of the affiliate program starting to pay two level deep to make it more lucrative for their affiliates.

 
The advantage of an affiliate program is very simple to understand and you can get paid a huge commission up front. This is great for anyone who needs cash flow in a short period of time.

 
Network marketing, or also know as multiple level marketing is a method where you receive compensation from your direct and indirect effort. This is achieved through different tires of overriding commission, and that how the name multiple level marketing come from. In this model, you can leverage on the effort of the person you recruited. The system rewards you to train and nurture the person that you recruited.

 
The advantage of using multiple tier compensation is that you get to leverage on thousands and thousands of down line to earn a residual income. If you have a proper training and a duplicable system in place, most of the time your direct down lines will be able to run the business independently. But of course, it will need a lot of work and time from your end to build a structure to pay you handsomely.

 
It normally takes at least 9 to 12 months for one to see sizable income. Also most network marketing companies unable to pay a high commission from direct retail effort. That is one of the reasons why this industry has one of highest drop out rate.

 
So the best way to get the best of both worlds is to combine the two models and create the ultimate Internet network marketing synergy!

 
There are two ways you can leverage this.

 
Firstly, you can promote an affiliates program that help network marketers to solve some of their problems like leads generation. You start to build up a list of network marketers and at the same time building relationship with them as you help them solve their problem.

 
Then you can take your time to do some research on network marketing business opportunity and join one of them. These people in your list are your ready prospect for your network marketing business opportunity. When the moment is right, you can contact them and introduce them to your business. Even if they do not want to be in your network marketing business, you already get paid from other affiliates program you market to them.

 
By combining network marketing and affiliate marketing, you can help to reduce drop out rate.

 
This also applies if you are already in network marketing business and you have already a sizable network.  While you are enjoying income from your multi tier compensation plan, at the same time you can find some affiliates products that solve your down line’s problems and start market to them. Simultaneously, you can teach them how to build a list online.

 
Also when you launch a new affiliate product, everyone else will rush to you and they will promote your product as an affiliate! And because everybody is in the same network, the loyalty is stronger as everyone is more willing to help one another because they are in the same company.

 
Using this method, even side lines in a network will be able to benefit each other and promote each other’s info products – cross network. Making money in multiple level marketing has never been more fun!
