Network Marketing Affiliate Products and Program

If you're struggling to make enough money in your mlm business, then network marketing affiliate products and programs can help you generate income.

If you're new to network marketing, i'm sure you're asking yourself what in the heck is network marketing affiliate products?

Network marketing affiliate products are products that you can market (sell) to your potential downline members before they become your downline (think funded proposals).

Network marketing affiliate products are also products that you can market to your existing downline and thus earn a percentage of the products sale.

Some companies don't allow this, so make sure you read your company's policies and procedures.

Network marketing affiliate products should offer some value to the recipients; something that educates them and in turn makes them a more valuable prospect worth having in your downline.

The products will generate cash for you to help you fund your primary business. This is also known as an MLM funded proposal

When it comes to network marketing affiliate products and network marketing affiliate programs, two prominent names come to mind - Mike Dillard and Ann Sieg.

So, you want to learn how to make money upfront in your business?...

This brings us to Mike Dillard, who happened to be mentored by legendary marketer Joe Schroeder.

Mike became a millionaire using the principals set forth in the funded proposal system while still in his mid-twenties.

When Magnetic Sponsoring first came out it created quite a stir because most people had never heard of Joe Schroeder or the funded proposal system and this was a "new" and an exciting way to build a network marketing business. And it was also a way to dismantle the "status quo" or old "traditional" way of building a network marketing business.

Joe Schroeder's "star" pupil has done very well for himself.

Pros:

* Very professional put together system that now includes a interactive web 2.0 community where you can interact with other network marketers.This is outside of the Magnetic Sponsoring course.

* Your lead capture page with this system includes an offer to get 7 free training videos. It makes the lead capture page more enticing to get opt ins.

* You get free access to the marketing system once you buy any of Mike Dillard's products.

* Many products to choose from offer your prospects and downline members.

Cons:

* The magnetic sponsoring course is written in an abstract way (in my opinion...you may "get it" or you may not)

* It does not teach basic Internet marketing.

* You can't email your prospects from the back office. If you want to contact them, you'll have to use your personal email (could get SPAM complaints). List-building then becomes a 2-step process instead of one seamless one.

* See network marketing email

* There isn't a residual component built into the system, other than a monthly newsletter.

* This system does NOT brand you

Overall

Mike Dillard's Magnetic Sponsoring system is a good course to use an affiliate product to offer your potential downline. With the array of other products Mike Dillard has to offer (Black Belt Recruiting, PPC Domination etc..) you can earn you nice commissions and create more educated and savvy leads as you build your primary business.

If you've bought the course and can't figure out where to start...

Ann Sieg is the "baby" of the bunch with her unleashing of her Renegade Network Marketer system in mid 2007.

Ann Sieg's Renegade system caused quite a stir when it was released due to her 7 Great Lies e-book. Her network marketing affiliate products consist of an ebook (to be used as a viral form of marketing-you don't earn money on it) and the Renegade system itself.

The Renegade is and of itself not only a training manual, but an affiliate product too. Although it looks benign on the outside, this network marketing affiliate product has massive affiliate links throughout it that can earn you many hefty paychecks for years to come.

Pros:

* Lists a lot of Internet marketing resources

* The system itself with it's massive amounts of links, can be used as an affiliate product. You can generate multiple checks with this system.

Cons:

* Although it list the various marketing methods and a few tips along with them, it doesn't tell you enough about each marketing method for you to go out and try it.

* There isn't a "system" or a guide that tells you what to do or how to start. Some people find it challenging as to know what they should be doing after going through the entire system.

* Like Mike Dillard's system, you can't email your prospects from the back office. If you want to contact them, you'll have to use your personal email (could get SPAM complaints)

* See network marketing emails.

* There aren't regularly scheduled calls to help you with this system.

* The system does NOT brand you.

Overall

This system is a great overview of the ways to market your network marketing business on the Internet. If you're looking for a "how-to-guide", you'll be disappointed with this.

Most people who have had success with this system either knew how to market or learned from Renegade University, an Internet marketing training site for budding marketers.

When it comes to the Internet, there has to be a buyer's beware label on the front of everyone's computer screen.

Just because a program/service/ebook comes out that has an affiliate program attached to it, doesn't automatically mean that it's a worthy program to promote.

The last thing you want to do is spend all your time promoting a product to your prospects or downline that doesn't do what it says it does. Your people will not be so sure to trust your judgment again.

Here are just a few tips:

When possible, buy the affiliate product and test it out yourself. If you can't, try to do a thorough search of the Internet of people who have used the product (don't look for glowing reviews from affiliates).

Is the affiliate product promoting "black hat" techniques or other dubious techniques like email harvesting? If so, you don't want to be associated with it.

You have to feel 100% confident that you're promoting an affiliate product that is going to enrich people's lives. If you have any doubts, then don't promote the product.

Remember your credibility is all you have online. You don't want to put that in jeopardy just so you can make a quick dollar.

There's no lack of products and programs to offer your prospects - the Internet is littered with them. However, there's only a handful that cater to the network marketing industry specifically.

Some products come with a marketing system attached and some don't.

Nevertheless, a lot of people don't make money doing affiliate marketing of any sort.

Why?

You see, there was a common theme with Mike Dillard's products and ultimately his system. It's the same for Ann Sieg's too. In fact, it's a common "problem" that exists within the network marketing industry and even the Internet industry.

It's like that movie Ground Hog Day, where every day is the same. It's like that with marketing systems and affiliate products...New ones come out all the time, but you'll see they're pretty much the same re-gugitated info that's been said already.

Showing the best paying affiliate programs doesn't do you any good unless you know how to market.

Most programs show you the "what", but not the "how." What stands in your way of making the BIG income is what's between your ears.

If you're tired of everyday looking like "Groundhog Day" where nothing changes in your business... You're struggling with lead generation or if you're not getting enough web traffic to your site, you may want to look into some marketing training.

The best network marketing affiliate program means nothing if you don't have anyone to market it to.

I hope you found this website helpful.
