Affiliate Marketing vs Network Marketing – Are they the same? Or do they have any differences? Many people tends to get confused between the two, or think that they are of the same thing.

To start off, let me first give you the definition between the two (extracted from Wikipedia):

Affiliate Marketing
Affiliate marketing is a marketing practice in which a business rewards one or more affiliates for each visitor or customer brought about by the affiliate’s marketing efforts. Examples include rewards sites, where users are rewarded with cash or gifts, for the completion of an offer, and the referral of others to the site.
 
 
Network Marketing
Multi-level marketing (MLM), (also called network marketing, direct selling, referral marketing, and pyramid selling) is a term that describes a marketing structure used by some companies as part of their overall marketing strategy. The structure is designed to create a marketing and sales force by compensating promoters of the company’s products not only for sales they personally generate, but also for the sales of other promoters they introduce to the company, creating a downline of distributors and a hierarchy of multiple levels of compensation in the form of a pyramid.

What I’m going to share with you in this post are the similarities, as well as differences, between affiliate marketing and network marketing:

When it comes to affiliate marketing, ClickBank is the first affiliate marketplace that affiliate marketers think of – Because of its high commission structures (you can earn up to 75% commission for every single product sale you refer).

The reason why merchants in ClickBank are willing to give out such high commissions for every single product sale is because all the products in ClickBank are digital products – Meaning customers can download the product directly upon successful payment.

As there are no inventory involved to store these items, nor are there any shipping and handling required (as these products can be downloaded on the spot), these cost savings are transferred to you (the affiliate) in that you receive more commissions.

In this post, I’m going to teach you step-by-step how you can go about promoting a ClickBank product.
