how does "Network marketing" work, and how it makes money?
84478
Basically a few people get a lot of people working underneath them and receive commission for their work. At the very base level people actually sell goods that a company makes. Everyone above that gets commissions.\n\nThe problem is that the economics only work in favour of those that get in at the very beginning. The rest of the people will struggle to break even. After all, it simply isn't possible for everyone to get rich for nothing...\n\n\nRead this for a detailed explanation:\nhttp://www.commerce.state.ut.us/dcp/education/pyramid.html

To get paid! \n\nSince most people do Network Marketing anyway, why not get paid for it? When you tell a friend about a good movie or an especially good restaurant do they send you a check? You sent them the business, why don't they reward you? Well in Network Marketing they do.

First, you have to determine what you want to do on the Web. There are many ways to make money on the Web, and you need to choose the best way - what you can do, what your resources can afford, and what you think is needed.\n\nThe Web offers tremendous opportunities for those who know how to harness it. You hear of stories of people who earn thousands if not millions of dollars from doing business on Web. While there are many scams (same way in the traditional business world), there are various ways you can legitimately make money on the Web.\n\nHere are the main business models you can adopt:\n\n1. Sell products on the Web - Big boys like Amazon or Lillian Vernon online catalog or smaller businesses like BigKidsVideo.com or Candle4Less.com all sell products on the Web. \n\nYou can either sell: (a) through your own storefront through your own website or applications such as Yahoo Stores; or (b) sell through online auctions like eBay\n\n2. Information Delivery. Others such as About.com or PowerHomeBiz.com create content and monetize their content in a number of ways:\n\na. Advertising - From the article "How to Generate Advertising Revenues for Your Web Site" http://www.powerhomebiz.com/vol28/adrevenues.htm , there are several ways you can earn money from advertising:\n\n1. Join an advertising network. Advertising networks are organizations that aggregate Web sites that offer advertising space, and sell banner ads (and other advertising options) across them. Traffic requirement is often a minimum of 5,000 monthly impressions, although many do not accept sites hosted by free page services. \n\nBurst Media http://www.burstmedia.com\nFastclick (ValueClick). http://www.fastclick.com\nAdvertising.com. http://www.advertising.com\nTribal Fusion http://www.tribalfusion.com \n\n2. Participate in contextual advertising networks. Contextual advertising are text ads delivered based on the content of the web page using an automated system. \n\nGoogle Adsense https://www.google.com/adsense/\nYahoo! Publishing Network (currently in beta and available to US publishers only) http://publisher.yahoo.com/ \nIntellixt http://vibrantmedia.com/site/web_01a5.htm \nQuigo Adsonar http://www.quigo.com/adsonarexchange.htm \nIndustryBrains http://www.industrybrains.com \nCommission Junction Evolution http://www.cj.com\n\n3. Sell advertising for your site directly. This is admittedly a more difficult route for a small business site wanting to earn advertising revenues. But hey, as they say: "no pain, no gain!" \n\nb. Affiliate Programs - you sell other people's products that your audience may be interested in; and you get a certain commission after the desired action was done (whether a sale, a lead, subscription to email newsletter, or however this is defined)\n\nc. Paid online content. Hoovers.com or WebmasterWorld.com Supporters forum all require paid subscription before accessing the information\n\nd. Content licensing and syndication. Some publishers such as the Associated Press get paid every time their content is published elsewhere\n\nYou may also want to read the article "6 Hottest Opportunities on the Web for the Small Business Owner"  http://www.powerhomebiz.com/052006/web.htm

It's typically indirect marketing.  Let me first say what direct marketing is as a comparison.  Direct marketing is where you would sell something yourself (or your company) via direct contact with the customer.  \n\nChannel marketing can include various channels, common ones are retailers (Sears, Walmart, etc.).  You would sell to them, then they would sell to customers.\nDistributors who buy from you then resell to retailers who then sell to end customers.  \nP. Kotler has written many excellent texts on marketing.  For detail on these and several others you might check your library for his work.

Wait... "the Net and Network Marketing"?? Catch-22?? \n\nThose two should go together, hand-in-glove. And yet, Network Marketers have struggled to realize the near-infinite networking, lead-generating potential of the Web.\n\nHow can that be? \n\nNetwork Marketing (sometimes called "Multi-Level Marketing" or "MLM" or “Two Level Affiliate”) is all about... \n\n* recruiting/lead generation/relationship-building \n* sales conversion \n* ongoing consumption \n* replicating yourself through downline motivation and training. \n\nHow in the world could the Internet not be the best thing since sliced bread for Network Marketers? Because it's being done, all wrong, by all the wrong people. \n\nThere's no need to push (i.e., chase cold calls/prospects) when you can motivate potential customers and business-builders to pull (i.e., they want to call you to learn more).\n\nHere's how to Put The Net Back Into NETwork Marketing  http://www.mlm.wotsnext.com \n\nOr check out their new video tour http://www.sbivideo.wotsnext.com

Pyramids are illegal and network marketing is a great way to do business.\n\nPyramids... are generally set up so that there is more emphasis on the business opportunity, training and seminars, $$$ for the "Upline". Usually the only people who make any $$$ are those who got in first.... those on the bottom do most of the work with very little returns for their efforts. (AND one can't say this often enough...THEY ARE ILLEGAL!!!!!)\n\nNetworkmarketing on the other hand: We are  all networking... we have always done it from the time we could talk.  If Sally asked you where you got your lunch box, you advertised for K-mart or where ever mom and dad bought it for you.  As adults we refer people to every profession:  doctors, mechanics, hair salons... or even refer people to a particular STORE like Target or the Macy's THEN tell them which PRODUCT to buy which could come from Proctor and Gamble or Microsoft.  We will never stop networking, it's a part of life.\n\nHope this helps

It depends on the following factors:\n\n- advertiser rate\n- frequency the banners are shown\n- revenue sharing between publishers and the ad network\n\nTake for example a Monster.com banner ad campaign -- it typically pays anywhere from $0.90-$1.50 CPM. If the campaign is not capped and shows continually, say 100,000 impressions for $1 CPM, that means the web publisher can make $100 from that campaign.\n\nAssuming that the revenue sharing with the network is 60-40 (with publishers getting the 40%), then the web publisher earns $40 from that campaign.\n\nAdd to that the other campaigns that the network offers to publishers.\n\nWith banner ad networks, you make more money if you have a lot of traffic. With contextual networks such as Google Adsense, you can make bundles of money even if you have little traffic but your audience is responsive to ads and clicks.

because they charge their clients by the hit or click- and if a person clicks on their link either to see who they are or to unsubscribe, they get paid- basically, just like when you watch tv and a commercial bugs the crap out of you while u are watching your favorite program.  \n\nIf a million people see the ad, maybe one will purchase the product.  The auto surf company gets paid usually regardless if their client makes a sale from them, so it would be nice to be an auto surf company, lots of profit, very little overhead!

Have you ever heard about Network Marketing.  It's main highlight is that you can work from home, for a few bucks you can become a distributor and have all the benefits of owning a business with few of the administrative hassels.\n\nIf it resonates with you, network marketing can be dynamite vehicle for wealth.  But, and this is a big but, dont think for a mintue that you're going to get a free ride.  Network Marketing will only work if you do.  It will take training, time and energy to succeed.  But if you do, incomes in the ranges of $20k to 50K per month or more.  thats right per month - are not uncommon in that industry!!  I have meant people that just wanted to earn an extra $500 a month to catch up on bills, child support and some other stuff and their incomes now are unbelievable.\n\nJust by becoming a part-time distributor will give you some excellent tax advantages, and who knows maybe you'll enjoy the product enough to offer it to others and end up making a nice income to boot. Nothing beats a failure but a try:) \n\nCheck out: \n\nhttp://wserver0.prepaidlegal.com/Multisite/JSP/opp/movieticket.jsp\n\nand\n\nhttp://teamnuvision.com/profiles.htm

I don't know anything about them, but when I tried to do a search on them, I kept getting "This page cannot be displayed".  That worried me.  What type of products do they sell?  Network marketing in and of itself is very legal and potentially very lucrative...if you're willing to work. They are not get rich quick schemes.  I work for a very wonderful, very well established (26 years), exploding network marketing company called Arbonne International. Network marketing is a method of distribution that a company uses to get their products from the manufacturer to the consumer without all the middlemen (wholesaler, warehouser, advertiser and retailer). Because of this, they can put more money into research and development, and pay they consultants handsomely for their "word of mouth" advertising. \n\nArbonne has health & wellness products for every member of the family...things that people buy from the store everyday, thus the products are consumable, and that's a VERY important point when looking at network marketing companies. Our products are pure, safe and beneficial, are botanically based, contain no mineral oil, chemical dyes or fragrances, no animal products or by-products, have never been tested on animals, are pH correct, hypoallergenic and dermatologist tested.\n\nThe opportunity with Arbonne is HUGE, and we aren't even global, yet (will be in the next few years...then LOOK OUT!)\n\nCheck out the sites below, and contact me if you'd like more information. You really owe it to yourself to take a look at Arbonne.\n\nGood luck!

I've tried and earned money in a few network marketing (aka direct marketing or MLM based sales companies).  Some are very good, but you have to like and use the product, believe it and know what you are selling is an actual quality product with real value.  If the company is pushing only sign ups 99% of the time and driving your team for growth constantly.  You may wish to seek other solution providers.  Read there compensation program and ask as many questions as you need to to understand it well.  If you believe in the product or service then get involved if not move on.  Also check the BBB for any bad comments about them.

Look for a book named "The Business School" by Robert Kiyosaki.  He did explain it all.\n\nGenerally, the different are:\n1.  Network marketing plan is fair to everyone.  Pyramid marketing isn't.  It's mean whoever join first, will be always have higher pin or level than the person join under him/her.\n2.  There is no entrance fee for Network marketing.  you only need to pay a little amount to be a member.  But in pryamid marketing you will need to pay certain amount to join it and your upline will earn some from that amount.  Besides, the company may ask you to buy(or try in their opinion) lot of products before you can be a member.\n3.  You won't need to keep the stock in order to sell your product. in pryamid market you will need to have a place to put the product and sell it from there.\n4.  Some pyramid marketing, there is no product involve at all.  they only earn from membership fee.\n\nBesides, which company are you looking into? I can share some of my experience with you.

It seems pretty obvious that *someone* is buying things\nfrom spam email, or the spammers wouldn't keep\ndoing it.  After all, they're not in it for fun; they\ndo it because it's profitable.\n\nCompared to physical mailings or TV/newspaper/radio ads,\nspamming is practically free.  If they send an ad to\n10M people, if only 1/10th of 1 percent of the people\nrespond, that would still be 10,000 sales.  In raw\npercentages, even if almost *no one* responds, in\nin absolute numbers it would still be a huge success.\n\n[By the way, I just made up these numbers as an example.\nEven if they're way off, the concept is valid (or spammers\nwouldn't still be in business).]

I don't do ads on my web sites and have never done this. But, from my understanding, it works one of two ways:\n\n1. a company pays you money every time someone clicks on the ad. Like a dollar per click.\n\n2. a company pays you money per month(or year or whatever) to have thier ad on your site. Rregardless of how many people click on it.\n\nNow, with the first option it will make you almost no money unless, you have a crapload of people visiting your site. Like in the 10,000s.
