Affiliate & network marketing for creative entrepreneurs

Get paid commissions for recommending products and services you love on social media.

Make money on social media without needing your own product or service to sell.

Who wants to deal with managing inventory and customers?

Affiliate marketing and network marketing on social media gives you a way to get paid for sharing your passions and doing what you love.

It’s worth noting that there is often confusion about the differences between affiliate marketing, network marketing, MLM, direct sales, and pyramid schemes. That’s why I recorded the below video — to shed light on which business model is best for you.

Affiliate marketing is the hidden foundation of e-commerce

Most big businesses and tech companies offer a commission if you recommend their product or service online. Since sales are tracked with a customized link, affiliate marketing is especially popular on social media, podcasts, and websites.

Affiliate marketing usually requires no money or investment to get started.

Unlike retail, you do not need to buy, hold, or ship any inventory. All you have to do is manage links and logins. However, the average affiliate marketing comission is just a few dollars and you only get paid when you make a sale. This results in most affiliate marketers needing to promote numerous products just to make ends meet.

To get started, simply look for the word “affiliates” in the footer of an e-commerce website. Or, visit a larger affiliate marketing database like the ones suggested in this article.

The downside of affiliate marketing:
you only get paid when YOU make a sale.

Earn passive income with network marketing

With network marketing, you still earn commissions from recommending products and services you love. However, unlike affiliate marketing, you also earn commissions when people you sell to (your downline) recommend the product to someone else.
Network marketing offers the greatest potential for making money online, especially as distributors build a successful team.
This hierarchical structure allows for the potential of passive income, but it also means that success is closely tied to the ability to recruit and manage a team. ** FYI, network marketing is NOT a pyramid scheme. Those are are illegal and unsustainable business models that primarily focus on recruiting participants rather than selling legitimate products or services

Recruiting is just a fancy word for building relationships.

“I don’t want to recruit people or build a team,” is one of the biggest objections creative entrepreneurs have to network marketing. But, recruiting is the foundation of EVERY successful business. What do you think HR departments do every day? Without people on your team, you have a business of one.

Recruiting also is a natural part of our human existence. From recommending a restaurant or movie to a friend … or referring someone for a job, we’re always selling something. Any time you call someone and invite them out, you’re recruiting them for an activity.

Recruiting is just another type of sales … and selling is serving when your heart is in the right place.

Think of it as sharing your passion with others. When you’re excited about what you’re doing, others will naturally want to join you. Don’t let fear or misconceptions hold you back from making money online!
