How Are We Affected By Network Marketing/Affiliate Marketing

This is a very amazing revelation that came to me out of clear air.  There is somewhat of a back story to it and a few personal events that took place in my life and I just want you to understand and see how not only is/was my life affected by it but everyone that has ever been in the same position that I was in at the time.

My Personal Story

My personal story happened back in January 2011.  I was at my Ophthalmologist getting and eye examination and a pair of glasses.  As a result an issue from a previous injury (a detached retina) was discovered that required for me to see a specialist.  Actually it was two specialist that I had to see.  One for the detached retina and the other for Cataract that was discovered.

From this point my Doctor (Dr. Tan) advised me to see two specialist.  One for my retinal detachment and the other of the Cataract.  She gave me a 'referral' to see both doctors.  I made the appointments to go see them and was examined during those visits.  This is where I see now that my Ophthalmologist has a network of doctors that she work with.

She marketed their skills and put them in play to earn a few thousand dollars from my insurance company.  This is something that happens to millions of people everyday and the doctor continue to earn major money as a result.  This is as I mention in a previous post Affiliate/Network Marketing.  The world of business is built upon it as a strategy to earn from the efforts of others.  Don't hate the players of the game... learn to play like the players and earn like they earn.

Umm-Mayyah's Story

Then there's Umm-Mayyah, my daughter.  She was born November 10th, 2013 and is a very happy little girl.  Her story is brief as she was just born and there's not much of a history that can be given on her. At any rate, she had her first appointment to see her Pediatrician on December 12th, 2013.  When her Doctor examined her she found that she may have a heart murmor.  

So, she gave is a 'referral' to see a Cardiologist at a specific hospital for children.  Thou, I believe the bigger children's hospital has a better Cardiologist we are going to see this guy.  This was the point that I realized that this is a form of Network Marketing.  I don't know for sure if the referring Doctors are going to earn a commission but what I see is that if someone needs let's say, a Pediatrician I'm sure the other Doctor would send that business her way.

My point is Affiliate Marketing affects us in ways that we don't see because we are just not focused at the time.  Well, most of us.  I'm in business mode 24/7/365.  That just me.  

I just want to give you a clear example of how this industry is working even when we are not looking.  If, we make that first very important step and get involved with someone that is really into seeing you and your business grow.  It is simple to start and given the right training you can start earning within a few months depending on how active you are.

What Is Network Marketing?

Network Marketing or Multi-Level Marketing is very different from Affiliate Marketing in a number of ways. The intent here is to explain in this article clearly what it is and hopefully enlighten you as to what, how and who can be a Network Marketer or MLM'er.  Having been involved with a number of companies that uses this model as a means to promote, advertise and selling their products and services online and offline. I feel comfortable explaining this to you and clarifying it.

It involves a system of Direct Sales: where individuals are given the opportunity to invest and become Independent Sale Representative and not an employee.  This gives the company and the individual leverage to earn and grow at a pace that benefits both parties. Hopefully explaining it from this perspective will lead to the point that I want and make it apparently clear to you the features and benefits of this business model.

Network Marketing is just that... A Business Model.  It has been used by many companies to do three very essential things.

1. To launch new products and services 
2. To build its workforce 
3. And to market its products and services.

Thus, increase sales and revenue for everyone involved.  This method dates back more than 135 years and is just as relevant today as it was then.  Companies that are household names today is due to the founders, owners and C.E.O. being savvy enough to utilize the Network Marketing model of promoting and building their business.

Understanding it as a Business Model, removes the stigma that has been place on it by those that have used it for less than honorable purposes. What it does is take the average person and enters them into the world of controlling there own financial destiny.  This will be explained as well.  Either in this post of in a separate post, as a subject in and of itself.

Network Marketers have been known my many different titles over the past ten years or so. Among them are 

• Network Marketer (Expert)
• Multi-Level Marketer
• Direct Sales (Representative
• Direct Referrals
• Independent Sales (Agents or Representatives)
• Social Members
• etc.

All of these titles represent one and the same function.  The individuals that are fortunate enough to understand what these positions represent and the power behind them, regardless of what it is called, are living financially free lives (i.e., they are not worried about money).  

So, from here we understand that the Network Marketer, by whatever name he/she is called, it's simply companies setting up every day regular people like you and I in business for ourselves with the right to represent their company and its products, service, packages, etc.  They build their workforce by recruiting individuals (like us) who are willing to promote their merchandise in exchange for a commission.  So for every sale the representative make they are paid by the company.  When they use and purchase the products and are willing to share the features and benefits of the products and  business opportunity with other, they are paid as well.

So, unlike the Affiliate Marketer, the Network Marketer is paid not only from their own efforts but that of their network.  This expands the company's name, brand and credibility exponentially and the income of the Marketers working from home.  One of the world wealthiest men said, "I rather get paid 1% of 100 peoples effort than 100% of my own."

This is the core of Network Marketing!  If you are willing to work and not worry about others and what they are doing you can be very successful in this industry.  It is about being a leader first and your own boss second.  Anyone that is willing to learn, work and change can do it and being successful at it.

 

What Is Affiliate Marketing?

What is Affiliate Marketing?  This is one of the many questions that may eat away at many people.  My task here is to make it as simple as possible for you to understand it and to see how you fit into the equation now and how we plan to make you a part of the in group of people that are earning money online doing this very simple and easy method.

First an Affiliate Marketer is someone that has a relationship with major corporations and has an agreement with them to promote some or all of their products and/or services.  This can be done in various ways. From them are:

• Adding ads to his website
• Publishing articles
• Writing post,
• Using text ads, banner ads 
• and many other methods.

When the Affiliate Marketer generates sales from his promotion of the company's products he is paid a commission for completed sales.

Now, what then is Affiliate Marketing?

Affiliate Marketing is a relationship between parties that are brought together to generate income and the purchase goods, services and the like. There are four primary parties: the Merchant, Network, Publisher and Customer(s).

1.  We have the Merchant, who is the owner of the products. services and website that they are doing business from/marketed from.
2. The Network, brokers the relationship between the Merchant and the Publisher.
3. The Publisher, establishes a relationship with the Merchant and agrees to promote their products, services and website to people that frequents his website.
4. Customer(s) are the people that frequent the website of the Publisher or someone making an inquiry via a search engine.  There they find ads, banners and other forms of advertisement that may interest them.  They click through to the Merchant's site and find the item(s) they like and purchase.

At the end of this deal the Merchant earns money from the sales generated from the Publisher's website and pays a commission to the Publisher for a job well done

So, in short, Affiliate Marketing is a type of performance-based marketing in which a business rewards one or more affiliates for each visitor or customer brought by the affiliates own marketing efforts.  The industry had four major player: the merchant, the network, the publisher and the customer.
