Hey Debbi,
Great post.. my personal opinion on the topic is to offer what ever your
a) feel comfortable/ passionate about
b) what’s going to help out the highest number of people.

For that reason I’ve opted to do both.. but I can also see the other side of coin coin of there being great value in having focus!

So, I guess it’s up to the individual :)

Thanks again!

Hey Debbi,

Honestly I prefer to use both MLM and affiliate marketing. Yes you earn money from your primary program, but you can also earn more money from promoting affiliate products (that actually benefit your leads). Integrating affiliate products was the best thing I could have done for my business because I was able to generate a positive cost per lead and better optimize my ad campaigns. This was a good post, thanks for sharing.

Very informative blog. I will revisit often!

Any small business owner would be well advised to incorporate as many income streams as possible into their business plan.

Of course there is a right way and wrong way of going about marketing online whether it is retailing MLM products, your opportunity or affiliate programs.

As illustrated in your example you want to ensure everything you choose to promote is in line with your overall business plan. Too often people indiscriminately promote anything and everything they think they can make a little money off of.

As long as you have the best interest of your target market in mind making recommendations that are valuable to them can actually improve your credibility.

I agree with Spencer. Great Article.

It is my opinion, after reading your article, that a well placed affiliate program may compliment your MLM program. I do agree that honesty and ethics should come first and foremost. Use one to balance (enhance) the other.

Great article! I am bookmarking your blog.

Your blog is very interesting & you make it for people who have little knowledge about MLM very interesting.

I noticed that we are very much into the same interests so I wanted to drop by and say hello. My name is Reginald & I am into this kind of business too. I also work for the Federal Govt but I look forward to
retiring really soon.

The economy is really bad these days but unbeknownst to many, they can have financial stability thru MLM. Sadly, a lot of people think most MLMs are scams. If only they they’d open their eyes & try to understand MLM & its concepts better…I’m sure they’ll be on their way to financial freedom.

I hope more people will be educated about MLMs thru your blog.

Please Drop by my site & say hi! http://tinyurl.com/mesvrv
