MLM Businesses And Affiliate Sales Programs What Is The Difference

MLM Businesses And Affiliate Sales Programs What Is The Difference

MLM businesses and affiliate sales programs are both programs that if handled correctly enable you to earn extra cash from home. Don’t belittle the amount of money these working from home opportunities offer. Once you understand the way they are run and how the commissions are earned you are on your way to earn some extra cash from home.

Mlm businesses are generally known as multilevel marketing MLM or network marketing. Mlm businesses are basically a marketing strategy that compensates distributors of direct selling companies not only for sales of goods and services they personally generate but also for the recruitment as well as sales of other distributors they introduced to the company. The products and services are usually marketed directly to consumers and potential business partners by means of relationship referrals and word of mouth marketing. Some of the top MLM distributors I know have earned in excess of 10 million in their mlm businesses in about 10 years.

Affiliate sales programs or better known as affiliate marketing is an internetbased marketing practice in which a business rewards one or more affiliates for each visitor or customer brought about by the affiliate’s marketing efforts. Commissions are paid for any sales the affiliate makes. Some of the best affiliates in the market generate thousands of dollars every single month just by their own efforts. These best affiliates would have a huge mailing list. Once they have a product or service to offer all they do is send an email broadcast to their list and bingo! A single email blast would have reached the thousands of people on their list most of whom trust them and any product or service they recommend and they are able to earn extra cash from home. Earnings range from 56000 in 28 days to 70000 in just one clickbank account this guy has 10 such accounts.

So if it is so easy to earn extra cash from home with mlm businesses and affiliate sales programs then why are people still going to work at their jobs?

The reason is simple. Although it is easy to earn money working at home there are however some disadvantages.

With the mlm businesses your commissions normally grow according to the size of your organisation. As mlm businesses require you to recruit more downlines into your organisation in order to enjoy residual income opportunities this is one of the downfalls of mlm distributors. Where are you going to find prospects after prospects to approach regarding your working from home opportunities? How many of your distributors are strong enough to actually face rejection after rejection? Even if you manage to get your prospects to join you as your downline you still need your downlines to work and generate sales failing which you will not earn any commissions. The main advantage of mlm businesses is to be able to leverage on the efforts of your downlines which will not happen if your downlines find it hard to build their organisation.

On the other hand if you are in the affiliate sales programs you are generally working on your own and do not have a team of affiliates to leverage on in order to enjoy residual income opportunities.

How then can you achieve a winwin situation where you can get the best of both worlds? Is there a way to create the ultimate internet mlm marketing synergy?

Well to do that you can look for online mlm businesses. Start building your mlm businesses online and train your downlines or affiliates in online prospecting which requires you to generate web traffic with your lead capture page in order to build a mailing list. Once you have mastered this art you will find that it will be so much easier to move your mlm businesses in a mode similar to the affiliate sales programs. Best of all everyone will be working more as a team and helping one another to succeed.

Minimizing Attrition In Your Network Marketing Organization

Whether you are new to network marketing or have been in the industry for 25 years you know that the key to success in any MLM endeavor is linked to the power of exponential growth. Every Network Marketing recruiting video shows an example of this

All you have to do is recruit 3 consultants who in turn recruit 3 consultants who recruit 3 consultants and so on. Before you know it you have an organization of thousands!

In theory this seems simple enough; I mean how hard is it find 3 people to get excited about the possibility of complete financial freedom and independence? The truth is it really is not that hard to find those three people. The difficulty comes in finding three people who will work as hard as you do to find three people and so on. Inevitably what happens is you find three people who join and only one of them finds three people and only one of those finds three people and all of a sudden your exponential growth becomes linear. Dont get me wrong you will make money if this happens but it will take you a long long LONG time to become independently wealthy.

So how do you prevent people from joining your team and then dropping out? The reality is that no matter what you do not everyone who joins your down line will stick with it. In fact in most network marketing organizations the majority of consultants some will tell you as high as 97 wont make enough money to recoup their initial investment. What this means is that if you need to find 3 successful consultants you may have to recruit as many as 100!

Boy if your sponsor had told you that you never would have gotten into this business right?

Never fear there are ways to minimize your attrition rates and I am going to share a few of them with you here.

First let me say that no matter what you do or how great your company and product are it will not work out for everyone. Many people are blinded by the massive dollar signs that are flashed in front of them on all recruiting videos. Once they find out that they actually have to put in some time effort and yes even money they quickly write it off as a scam and go back to their J.O.B. By following the advice in this article you will be able to cut down on the number of dropouts minimize your attrition and maximize your profits.

The key to minimizing attrition can be summed up in two words: realistic expectations.
Unfortunately the marketing teams in most NM organizations are the major culprits in setting unrealistic expectations. This is not done intentionally but it is done none the less. The recruiting videos we all were mesmerized by are designed to show you what the income is in a perfect world which none of us live in. So lets examine the theory vs. the realty of these videos.

The theory is that all you have do is recruit 3 who recruit 3 who recruit 3 etc etc. As discussed before you will have to recruit more than 3 to keep this pattern going. Although I dont think you have to recruit 100 you will have to recruit at least 6 and as many as 9 to get 3 that will do the same. There is also a flaw in this theory in that in every NM organization the real money is made as you advance from one level to the next say marketing consultant to regional consultant to executive consultant. The higher you go the more money you will make. There are very few organizations where you would only have to personally recruit 3 people to advance to the highest level. So figure out how many personal recruits you need to attain that level and set your goals accordingly.

Now lets talk about the reason we all got into this industry in the first place: THE MONEY. Once again the recruiting video will show you how easy it is to make 30000 40000 50000 per month or more as you build your organization. When they say this they are telling you the 100 truth. What they dont tell you is how long it will take you to get to this level. So often times what happens is someone gets in all excited and when they dont get a check for a couple months they begin to get discouraged. And if they dont give up at that time when they receive their first check and discover that they are putting in all this work only to make a few measly dollars they quit. What they fail to realize is that just like your organization grows exponentially so does your income.

As an example in one of the companies I represent if you were to recruit three new consultants and sell the service we provide to 3 people and each of your recruits does the same and so on and so forth this is what your monthly income would look like:

Month 1 0
Month 2 102
Month 3 405
Month 4 1950
Month 5 11633
Month 6 51158

I show this to all my recruits and explain that this is in a perfect world which does not exist. But what it shows is that once you build your organization deep enough the money will follow. And even if it takes you 2 years to build an organization like this is it worth 2 years of work to make over 600000 per year?

The point is making sure they know it will take time to grow their business but once it begins to grow it will grow rapidly and so will their income.
