Understanding the Concept of Internet and Network Marketing

http://incomewave.ws/earthfriendlybiz.htm

For those who are new to the Internet, or at least to the concept of making money on the Internet, you will find that network marketing on the Internet is not necessarily the same as what one may think from personal knowledge. Although it may involve the concept of recruiting new people to join the network, many times it involves becoming an affiliate member of an established network. In many ways, this works better than recruiting new members into the group because you are already working with an organization that is established. People tend to feel more comfortable working with companies who are already established as opposed to newcomers.

The key here is Internet marketing, thus meaning that the work you do will be promoted with the use of the Internet. As everyone knows, the Internet is the biggest source of advertising that exists in the 21st century, and for those who take advantage of all of its potential, a comfortable lifestyle is surely a reality. For many people, it has made the difference in being self-sufficient or depending upon others since many people unable to work a regular job due to family obligations or health issues are now able to contribute to the family income.

As previously stated, network marketing on the Internet can be either network-based, affiliate-based, or a combination of the two. The difference in these business concepts is that if the business is network-based, you are required to recruit new people to come into the network, much like multi-level marketing organizations like Amway and Herbal Life. The difference is that many of the Internet organizations actually do the placements for you so that you don't have to do any actual recruiting. With an affiliate program, you have a website with the products you are promoting for the organization with which you are affiliated. You receive either a flat fee or percentage for every sale that generates from your site.

When you choose an affiliation, be careful that you know exactly what you can expect, and if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. It's important to be able to distinguish the scams from the real programs, and the best way to do that is in the way they advertise. The easiest way to notice a scam is if there is a fee to join. That should automatically send up a red flag because in all honesty, you can become an affiliate on your own with Internet giants such as Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and many others without paying a fee. No, they don't provide you with a website, but you don't have to pay for the privilege of being an affiliate, either. ClickBank is one of the bigger providers of affiliate memberships. It is up to you to decide if you want someone who will provide a website for you to store the products or if you are content to promote your own website and include banners or links to the sites where you hold affiliate memberships.
