5 Ways to Choose the Top Network Marketing Affiliate Program

By Asem Eltaher

Classical affiliate marketing program is a robust model to make money online at home. It works simply by placing text-ads, banners, etc. on your site, which link to your affiliate partner. For example, if you have an ad on your web site to a credit cards program from Citibank, and one of your visitors clicked on this ad and joined a credit card program. Then, Citibank will reward you by offering you an affiliate commission which can be up to $100 per lead.

Network marketing affiliate program works on similar basis, but with one more significant benefit compared to the classical affiliate programs. In deed, you earn an affiliate commission, not only from the people you referred to join the program, but also from the people referred to this program by your referrals.

For example, if your refer customer (A) to a program, and customer (A) has referred customer (B) to the same program. Then, you earn money online represented in your affiliate commission not only from customer A but also from customer B.

Learn how to choose your network marketing affiliate program in 5 ways:

1. Did the company stay around for at least 3 years?

For sure, you do not want to invest your time and money in a program offered by an mlm company, and then few months later this company is not there any more. Therefore, it is really worthwhile to check the back history of the company before you join any program or service offered by it.

2. Check if the company offers unique products and services.

Before you join a program offered by this or that company, check first that these products are not just another "me too" products that have loads of competition and offered some where else with a better price.

3. Is there a genuine need for the product or service?

You might promote the best products and services, but they are not of any use to your customers. Therefore, it is a wise idea to check the high need of these products and if they are of a big use to your future customers. To do so; simply check third parties forums to see how wanted these products are.

4. Does the marketing system take full advantage of technology?

You need to check if your company offers the most recent technology for the marketing purposes. Not everyone is a sales type; but any one can plug into a system and tools that help to market and sell the products for you.

5. Will you have fun promoting these products?

Obviously, you need to do what you like to do. It is generally true since doing something that makes you fun would release a lot of the hard feeling that you are on duty. Several respected affiliate guides recommend promoting products, or services that are strongly coupled to your hobbies since they are any way of a big interest for you. - 15790
