00:00:40.222 --> 00:00:43.252
Ok, so let's jump in today's podcast episode.

00:00:43.252 --> 00:00:48.847
So today's podcast episode, we're going to talk about affiliate marketing versus network marketing.

00:00:48.847 --> 00:00:56.189
What's the difference, the pros and cons, and should you do either one or both?

00:00:56.189 --> 00:00:57.892
Let me ask you a question.

00:00:57.892 --> 00:01:24.528
In today's economy, if you're someone who's let's say you're working nine to five employee, like I am, let's say things are expensive grocery, gas, pretty much everything's expensive nowadays days and you're trying to find extra ways to make money, how many of you probably been approached by a friend or family member about a network marketing business opportunity, what they call it opportunity?

00:01:24.528 --> 00:01:28.986
How many of you have you ever thought about it or are you in it?

00:01:28.986 --> 00:01:35.406
Some of you, probably who's listening to this podcast could be in a network marketing business.

00:01:35.406 --> 00:01:42.685
Or if you're also searching for ways to make extra money, you can.

00:01:42.685 --> 00:01:44.629
You probably heard of affiliate marketing.

00:01:44.629 --> 00:01:45.490
What is it?

00:01:45.490 --> 00:01:46.412
How does it work?

00:01:46.412 --> 00:01:49.325
Or maybe you are an affiliate marketer.

00:01:49.325 --> 00:01:53.093
These opportunities I know, especially for me.

00:01:53.093 --> 00:01:59.561
I've been looking for extra ways to make some extra money and some of it's been affiliate marketing.

00:01:59.561 --> 00:02:02.143
I'm familiar with network marketing.

00:02:02.143 --> 00:02:04.465
Now I'm going to dive in.

00:02:04.465 --> 00:02:16.537
If you're someone who's looking for or trying to understand how you're going to make some extra money, you're probably wondering what, what, what do I need to know before I do either?

00:02:16.537 --> 00:02:27.402
Or, and obviously, what are the pros and cons?

00:02:27.402 --> 00:02:31.013
So if you've been approached about a family member, what has always stopped you from getting into a opportunity like a network marketer?

00:02:31.013 --> 00:02:33.379
Or what was also stopped you for becoming an affiliate marketer, let's go.

00:02:33.379 --> 00:02:34.865
I'm going to dive in.

00:02:35.841 --> 00:02:40.605
So network marketing in a nutshell, the difference between the two.

00:02:40.605 --> 00:02:44.430
So a network marketer is someone.

00:02:44.430 --> 00:02:48.414
Let's say, for example, you.

00:02:48.414 --> 00:02:52.082
Let's say Apple, I'm going to use Apple.

00:02:52.082 --> 00:02:53.687
It may not be the best example.

00:02:53.867 --> 00:02:54.991
Or a health product.

00:02:54.991 --> 00:02:56.542
Let's use a health product, for example.

00:02:56.542 --> 00:03:20.903
And you got approached by a friend and they said man, I got this great opportunity and if you, all you need to do is sign up, pay a fee to sign up, to use their back office in their system, and then in this case, you then have to basically not only sell the product but also build a business behind it.

00:03:20.903 --> 00:03:22.963
But also build a business behind it.

00:03:22.963 --> 00:03:39.711
You could just sell the product, but it would be very hard because if you're only just selling the product, you're really not going to make as much money as someone who basically, where you are, actually building a business for this health company.

00:03:39.711 --> 00:03:42.872
So that's what a network marketing.

00:03:42.872 --> 00:04:00.538
You get approached and you can just sell the product and get a commission or but you get a certain, you get a certain percentage and sometimes, if you sell and hit certain points or bonus points or certain levels, you can move up.

00:04:00.538 --> 00:04:10.769
But to really get to maybe like that CEO level, you won't get there until you actually have people under you.

00:04:10.788 --> 00:04:28.144
So that's why network marketing gets a big rap, because they call it a pyramid scheme, because you have a CEO and the CEO has basically, it can have a marketing director, it can have an executive director and these people have people under them, so which is basically like a pyramid.

00:04:28.144 --> 00:04:42.303
Now that's where it gets a bad rep, because you come into the business, you then have to recruit people and then these people have to make money and you even still have to make money too.

00:04:42.303 --> 00:04:46.913
That's the bad rap network marketing business gets.

00:04:46.913 --> 00:04:54.944
And I think it's a little bit unfair in a sense, because it's not when you think of it.

00:04:54.944 --> 00:04:56.507
When you go work for a corporation.

00:04:56.507 --> 00:04:58.213
That's basically the same thing.

00:04:58.213 --> 00:05:08.495
That's basically the same thing is you have the CEO and then the CEO has CFOs and the CFOs has other senior management under them.

00:05:08.495 --> 00:05:14.060
So I never understood the mentality of people when they say, oh, network marketing is a pyramid scheme.

00:05:14.060 --> 00:05:16.225
Well, you work for a company that does the same thing.

00:05:16.225 --> 00:05:21.084
So I don't really get, I don't understand that, but that's the rap it gets.

00:05:21.987 --> 00:05:25.877
The pros is you can actually make some really good money.

00:05:25.877 --> 00:05:39.350
And network marketing, well, it depends on the product the product that you are selling or the people you bring into the business, and if these people are successful, you make a percentage.

00:05:39.350 --> 00:05:50.160
Now, there's, there's more to it than just you make a commission, because certain products you probably can sell, you may make 30 percent, you may make 40 percent, you may make 50 percent.

00:05:50.160 --> 00:05:51.341
It just really depends.

00:05:51.341 --> 00:06:06.192
I know there's certain insurance companies, financial services companies that has this model, to name a few World Financial Group, prime America, and then there's some other ones out there.

00:06:06.192 --> 00:06:07.963
So there's quite a few out there.

00:06:07.963 --> 00:06:16.853
The pros is, again, you can make some really good money, you can build some really good relationships and talk about long term relationships.

00:06:16.853 --> 00:06:35.502
It can be life changing, because I've known quite a few people that has done network marketing and their life change, whether it's just health, because you start to be around people who have a different mindset, and their mindset is they want to be able to leave a legacy for their family.

00:06:36.785 --> 00:06:40.391
The also to depending how good you are.

00:06:40.391 --> 00:06:57.884
You can travel the world, you can win a lot of awards based on your efforts and you can get recognized for it, whereas if you, let's say, you're working for a nine to five corporate company, the probably the best thing you're going to get is some type of recognition and everybody go about their business.

00:06:57.884 --> 00:06:59.208
So that's that's.

00:06:59.208 --> 00:07:00.892
That's the thing in a nutshell.

00:07:00.892 --> 00:07:03.345
The cons is it's very hard.

00:07:03.345 --> 00:07:07.314
It is very hard If you do not have a network.

00:07:07.314 --> 00:07:34.322
Network marketing is going to be very difficult, especially if you are someone who's an introvert, who's not very social, because this type of business model is going to require you to be very social, to be very, to really have a certain mental toughness about you, because you can come in into this type of business and you are actually not successful at all and then you give up.

00:07:35.285 --> 00:07:41.444
Network marketing has a very high turnover rate because number one people expect results right away.

00:07:41.444 --> 00:07:55.391
Number two my thing is if you're into network marketing, it seems like the most common thing is hey, once you come in, do you have a warm market?

00:07:55.391 --> 00:07:57.680
Let's reach out to your warm market.

00:07:57.680 --> 00:07:59.985
The issue with that is what?

00:07:59.985 --> 00:08:16.139
If you're someone who's participated in several network marketing opportunities, your friends and family are going to get tired of you and sometimes you can end up losing relationships because of that, because you're always presenting or always selling them, always have an opportunity.

00:08:16.139 --> 00:08:18.307
So you want to be careful with that.

00:08:19.110 --> 00:08:41.673
Number two it is like I said it is very difficult to build a network marketing business because you got to have the right mindset, you got to have the right grid and, of course, you too have to have a network, because otherwise, if you don't, it's going to be very difficult because you have to start from ground up and you got to be out there really hustling to make some money.

00:08:41.673 --> 00:08:49.587
And then, when you do, sometimes depending on what the company you work for, it could be 30 percent, 35.

00:08:49.587 --> 00:08:50.692
And you're starting off.

00:08:50.692 --> 00:08:57.952
Basically most of most of these opportunities you're starting off at associate level and which is there's a very small percentage.

00:08:57.952 --> 00:09:02.410
But as you build a team you get a percentage.

00:09:02.410 --> 00:09:06.259
So let's say, if you have your brain, joey, joey comes in, he's at 30%.

00:09:06.259 --> 00:09:12.393
You may get an override and you may make 5% of what Joey also makes of his sales.

00:09:12.393 --> 00:09:19.373
But because of the fact that he's coming under you, he's training under you, joey, joey.

00:09:19.373 --> 00:09:22.826
Also, if Joey goes on, it makes a lot of money.

00:09:22.826 --> 00:09:25.873
You're, he's still under you, you can make some money.

00:09:25.873 --> 00:09:29.490
So that's the pitfall of network marketing.

00:09:29.490 --> 00:09:31.126
So there are some good parts to it.

00:09:31.480 --> 00:09:37.894
It is not all bad, like most people would say but also to what you have to be very aware of.

00:09:37.894 --> 00:09:43.187
It is a very tough business and I'm going to share a statistic with you.

00:09:43.187 --> 00:09:48.764
Network marketing is also known as multi-level marketing has a profitability.

00:09:48.764 --> 00:09:57.049
So the profitability studies indicate that one to 3% of MLM participants make significant profits.

00:09:57.049 --> 00:09:58.914
So one to 3%.

00:09:58.914 --> 00:10:11.402
So that's a very already low percentage, with approximately 75% of participants either breaking even or experiencing losses, and this is from themodelercom Financial outcomes.

00:10:11.402 --> 00:10:26.067
According to AARP Foundation, 25% of MLM participants report making a profit, the other 27% break even and 50% incur losses, and that's from truelistco.

00:10:26.067 --> 00:10:47.227
So, as you can see, if you're not really out there hustling or really out there really making it happen, it is a very tough business to be in and even if you and the ones that are successful, it's a very small percentage that gets to that point.

00:10:47.268 --> 00:10:56.350
That's something you want to pontificate about is, if you ever got presented a network or network marketing opportunity, don't automatically just shut it down.

00:10:56.350 --> 00:11:05.114
What I would say is look at the company, their reputation, number two look, are you going to be trained properly?

00:11:05.114 --> 00:11:16.410
Because some of these companies you go work for you don't get the training, because the whoever brings you in they may just talk to you, get you all hyped up and next thing you know tell you hey, here's your market.

00:11:16.410 --> 00:11:21.491
Go, here's a list, make a list of 25 people, whatever, and go reach out to them.

00:11:21.491 --> 00:11:23.801
They may train you one time and that is it.

00:11:23.801 --> 00:11:32.553
You have to keep that in mind If you're ever looking at ever joining an opportunity, don't shut it down completely.

00:11:32.553 --> 00:11:44.399
Just do your homework, your due diligence, before you join, because there is some type of money to it whether you got to pay a monthly fee to use their back office, to use their resources.

00:11:44.399 --> 00:11:50.975
But it's a great opportunity too, because it would be even more difficult for you if you did not.

00:11:50.975 --> 00:12:02.950
It gives you a leg up, because I remember there was one financial service company that I I'm not going to say which one that I did participate with and they had access to all the insurance carriers.

00:12:02.950 --> 00:12:15.630
Versus if you're independent, it may be a little bit difficult for you, but you could do network marketing, build yourself a business and go independent afterwards, depending how you look at it.

00:12:15.630 --> 00:12:18.120
But understand it is not easy.

00:12:18.942 --> 00:12:23.018
Now, affiliate marketing, affiliate marketing what is that?

00:12:23.018 --> 00:12:24.261
So now I'm going to use the.

00:12:24.261 --> 00:12:26.429
I'm going to use the Apple example.

00:12:26.429 --> 00:12:32.749
Apple has products and they need affiliates to sell these products.

00:12:32.749 --> 00:12:34.474
What do you do?

00:12:34.474 --> 00:12:38.650
You can sign up an affiliate link, which most youtubers do this.

00:12:38.650 --> 00:12:42.379
They sign up for affiliates and their affiliate links.

00:12:42.379 --> 00:12:47.981
That's why they have, let's say, apple has you have your own apple store.

00:12:47.981 --> 00:12:50.749
Let's just say, quote, unquote, and it's affiliate.

00:12:50.749 --> 00:12:59.231
They send you to a website and in that affiliate link, you buy, let's say, the iphone or something, and then they get a commission.

00:13:00.774 --> 00:13:04.466
The good thing about that is you can make some money.

00:13:04.466 --> 00:13:07.292
You really can make some money as an affiliate.

00:13:07.292 --> 00:13:19.174
The drawback behind it, though, is, if apple, you don't have no control over the inventory because you don't have nothing you were actually physically have.

00:13:19.174 --> 00:13:23.914
So Apple is out of, let's say, the iPhone 14 or something.

00:13:23.914 --> 00:13:26.028
You can't make money.

00:13:26.028 --> 00:13:31.956
Number two what if Apple changes the commission structure?

00:13:31.956 --> 00:13:38.514
What if you're making 50% and then, all of a sudden, apple decides and says you know what?

00:13:38.514 --> 00:13:43.456
You're going to now make only 20%, 25%.

00:13:43.456 --> 00:13:53.798
You have no control over the commission structure, so you have no control over inventory and you have no control over the commission structure.

00:13:53.798 --> 00:14:05.437
Number two you can quite there's a very thin line Become an employee versus actually building an affiliate marketing company.

00:14:06.306 --> 00:14:17.130
Let's say, if you're an affiliate and let's say 60 to 70 percent of your sales is Apple, what if Apple goes out?

00:14:17.130 --> 00:14:19.904
I'm not saying this will happen, I'm just giving you an example.

00:14:19.904 --> 00:14:22.369
What if Apple goes out of business?

00:14:22.369 --> 00:14:29.240
If Apple goes out of business, that means 75 percent of your sales is automatically gone.

00:14:29.240 --> 00:14:30.988
You got to think about that.

00:14:30.988 --> 00:14:33.058
That's why it's imperative If you're going to get into the network marketing, you want to be about that.

00:14:33.078 --> 00:14:40.870
That's why it's imperative if you're going to get into the network marketing, you want to be a network marketer is to basically desert diversified.

00:14:40.870 --> 00:14:56.808
You could probably sell an app, you could be an affiliate or Apple, but what you want to be, what sometimes these companies do too, is they'll say, hey, if you are a affiliate for Apple, you can't be an affiliate for Samsung either.

00:14:56.808 --> 00:15:09.619
So you kind of get glued in or you get trapped in and they basically can kind of quite frankly, own you in a sense that, because you're only able to push Apple products.

00:15:09.619 --> 00:15:22.166
But if you can be an affiliate for, let's say, apple, you can be an affiliate for a weight loss company, you can be an affiliate for a shoe company I'm just throwing examples out there.

00:15:22.166 --> 00:15:25.437
If you can, if you have different affiliate links.

00:15:25.899 --> 00:15:37.279
Because if you go to these YouTubers, sometimes the YouTubers or the affiliates that make money are ones that diversify, meaning they don't just rely on one company.

00:15:37.279 --> 00:15:39.870
They can again sell, sell homes.

00:15:39.870 --> 00:15:42.277
They can probably be an affiliate for shoe company.

00:15:42.277 --> 00:15:49.038
They can probably be an affiliate for a water company, coffee company, you diversify your income.

00:15:49.038 --> 00:15:56.025
So if you end up losing Apple, you still got maybe 10 other affiliates that you still make money from.

00:15:56.025 --> 00:16:04.368
But again, the drawback behind that is you don't own the inventory, you don't own the commission structure.

00:16:04.368 --> 00:16:11.927
At any minute they can shut down and not even notify you and now you're out of making money.

00:16:13.009 --> 00:16:15.014
But can you make money as an affiliate?

00:16:15.014 --> 00:16:17.650
Yes, but what is it required?

00:16:17.650 --> 00:16:27.395
It would require you, let's say, if you're someone who's, let's say, youtuber, if you have one or two subscribers it's not going to work.

00:16:27.395 --> 00:16:39.504
But if you're someone that has over 100,000 subscribers, you want to monetize that, then you can probably make some money, some really good money, even if you have 20000 subscribers.

00:16:39.504 --> 00:16:40.407
But you're going to need.

00:16:40.407 --> 00:16:50.351
You're going to need a following, and if you don't have a following, it is very difficult for you to make any money as an affiliate, as an affiliate marketer.

00:16:50.351 --> 00:16:54.804
So those are the two, and then affiliate.

00:16:54.804 --> 00:17:10.342
When you think about affiliate marketing earnings, the average affiliate marketer earns eight, eight thousand thirty eight per month, with eighty one point two percent, making more than twenty thousand annually.

00:17:10.342 --> 00:17:24.433
Conversion rates the average conversion rate hovers around one percent, though this can be very based on factors like niche audience and marketing strategy, and this is from Influence Marketing Hub dot com.

00:17:25.525 --> 00:17:28.955
So would you, would you want to consider between the both?

00:17:28.955 --> 00:17:30.488
Can you do both?

00:17:30.488 --> 00:17:32.173
Yes, you can do both.

00:17:32.173 --> 00:17:44.780
Just understand the difference between the two is a network marketing company requires you to basically build a business, to really read, to really make some money, real money.

00:17:44.780 --> 00:17:56.623
And number two, and then the thing about network marketing is it can be in waves One month your team produces, you may make $80,000.

00:17:56.623 --> 00:18:00.765
That month, the next month they barely produce, you make $10,000.

00:18:00.765 --> 00:18:09.765
So that's something you can consider, whereas in affiliate marketing you are just actually just really promoting products.

00:18:10.205 --> 00:18:26.851
So if you're someone who's in the financial services and let's say you're in a youtuber and you're in a financial services business and what you can do is you can sell credit card let's say you want to sell credit card um, how to repair your credit card?

00:18:26.851 --> 00:18:34.037
Or sell an affiliate for credit monitoring company, and there's different types, maybe even get links to credit cards.

00:18:34.037 --> 00:18:39.090
Whoever these companies like american express or so I don't know if they do or not, I never really looked into it.

00:18:39.090 --> 00:18:49.597
There's that's the difference between the two, the info and you have to think about as far as the income potential, which one would work for you.

00:18:49.597 --> 00:18:51.172
So, like I said, can you do both?

00:18:51.172 --> 00:19:11.737
Yes, but it would require you basically to be almost full time because you really have to go at this full time to even make a dollar to really really see how the potential, the explosion you can occur really slow.

00:19:12.457 --> 00:19:32.271
But I think, in my opinion, if you find the right product you want to promote and, let's say, you have a decent following or whatever platform you're using on social media, I think the best thing to do is, if you're an affiliate marketer, don't rely on any social media platform.

00:19:32.271 --> 00:19:36.361
Build your database, build your email database and then promote to your people.

00:19:36.361 --> 00:19:43.298
Take them off social media and promote and have them sign up for your email and then you can promote your products that way.

00:19:43.298 --> 00:19:56.157
Because if you, let's say, let's say, for example, you use TikTok, tiktok can probably and it's again, let's say, it's an Apple, tiktok can probably have 20 people who are selling Apple products.

00:19:56.157 --> 00:20:03.734
But those 20, if you're number one, who's taking these people off of that platform?

00:20:03.734 --> 00:20:10.493
Because look what happened a few weeks ago with TikTok TikTok was banned and literally the next day it got back.

00:20:10.493 --> 00:20:13.835
What if TikTok was banned for a while.

00:20:13.835 --> 00:20:28.866
What if TikTok was banned for a while Now?

00:20:28.885 --> 00:20:33.313
If all your traffic you're getting was from social media but you never took these people off of social media and you actually put them in your email database, then you actually lose the income potential.

00:20:33.313 --> 00:20:35.355
Who's going to go that route of affiliate marketer?

00:20:35.355 --> 00:20:56.830
And let's say you do have a decent following get them off that platform, have them sign up for your newsletter email database and then you can promote to them that way and you can promote several products that way, because some of these platforms, when it comes to social media, they want the user to stay on the platform.

00:20:56.830 --> 00:21:04.277
So if you're, if you're someone who's promoting links you probably going to be.

00:21:04.277 --> 00:21:08.996
They're not even going to promote your stuff because they don't want people to get off that platform.

00:21:08.996 --> 00:21:13.815
They want to be on that platform 30 minutes, one hour, two hours, three hours a day.

00:21:13.815 --> 00:21:15.438
Always understand that.

00:21:15.438 --> 00:21:19.587
30 minutes, one hour, two hours, three hours a day.

00:21:19.587 --> 00:21:20.209
Always understand that.

00:21:20.229 --> 00:21:21.811
I just wanted to share with you guys today the just a consideration.

00:21:21.811 --> 00:21:27.641
If you're ever came into that situation, you're trying to figure out, like me, how to make some extra money and you're looking at.

00:21:27.641 --> 00:21:40.413
You maybe got approached by someone who's in the affiliate marketing business or someone who's in the network marketing business understand there is potential for both of them, but they're also it doesn't.

00:21:40.413 --> 00:21:52.732
It's not going to come easy, it's going to take time and a lot of people come into these type of businesses expecting to make a hundred million dollars in like one week and it doesn't happen that way, folks.

00:21:52.732 --> 00:22:12.250
So understand if you have different, if you want to make some extra money Now with affiliate marketing, there's two companies I think that I remember I'm aware of Did you store that's a one and ClickBank, so you can sign up for ClickBank dot com.

00:22:12.892 --> 00:22:15.989
Or you can find you can sign up for Digi store and I think there's a couple.

00:22:15.989 --> 00:22:16.913
Those are two main ones.

00:22:16.913 --> 00:22:24.486
I know about the thing about did you still the thing about Clickbank it's, it's really saturated, it's over saturated.

00:22:24.486 --> 00:22:26.089
Did you store?

00:22:26.089 --> 00:22:31.308
You may have a little bit more opportunity, but just understand, find the right.

00:22:31.308 --> 00:22:32.732
Just don't promote anything.

00:22:32.732 --> 00:22:47.696
Don't go become an affiliate marketing promoting stuff that you don't even believe in, just because you want to make money, bring value and be, have morals, have morals and ethics, because people will catch your BS right away.

00:22:47.696 --> 00:22:53.366
So if you're, you don't even promote the product I had a company approach me about a health health thing.

00:22:53.366 --> 00:23:00.911
I had a company approach me about a health health thing and I'm not someone who really I'm not.

00:23:00.911 --> 00:23:05.653
I need to lose weight but I'm not someone where I need to really lose weight.

00:23:05.653 --> 00:23:08.413
I'm more into, like, working out fitness.

00:23:08.413 --> 00:23:14.336
So the stuff they approach me about I'm like I don't think this is going to work for me because it's not really what I'm looking.

00:23:14.336 --> 00:23:16.397
I mean, can I lose 30 pounds?

00:23:16.397 --> 00:23:24.122
Yeah, I would like to be 30 pounds lighter, but I'm OK with going through the process of losing two to three pounds a month.

00:23:24.122 --> 00:23:26.323
Now at the end of the year I'll drop 30 pounds.

00:23:26.323 --> 00:23:32.026
That's great, but I'm not someone who's like I need to lose weight today.

00:23:32.026 --> 00:23:35.086
So that to me that didn't match, that didn't work, that was not a that was not a fit for me.

00:23:35.086 --> 00:23:44.112
Understand, if you're going to go the affiliate marketing route, find something that you believe in that's a match.

00:23:44.112 --> 00:23:45.811
Just don't do anything.

00:23:45.811 --> 00:23:48.394
I just wanted to share this with you guys today.

00:23:48.394 --> 00:23:57.738
Hopefully this is a value to you and if you ever think about getting into either of those models, do your due diligence, do your homework.
