Members programs are systems in wich the dealers (the website and products owners) pays a commission for the sales or references that the participants of the system generate. 

 

The commissions depends on the quantity of generated sales  

(or referred ones) that the member sends to the dealers site.  

 

In other words,commissions depends on the purchases maded by the people that the member sent. 

 

Those purchases can be for the sale of products,services,paided subscriptions… and in some cases, they even pay just for the quantity of people that the member sends to the dealers site. 

 

Advantages: 

 

The great advantage is that you don’t have to fight with purchase orders,shipment of products, neither client support. 

You just have to guide traffic to a web site of the system (some systems grant you predesign pages), and in other cases, (recommendable) you will have to create your own site (or create a page inside an existent site of your own) 

 

Disadvantages: 

 

The great disadvantage is obvious… you´ll get much less money that if you sell the product by yourself.  

At this point I want to be clear that, if we speak of promotion and of directing traffic, it costs the same work to promote your own product that one of a system of affiliated.  

The big difference is that in the first case, you get 100% of the earnings, while with the affiliated systems or MLM, you only get a commission. 

 

I cant avoid to mention that it ALWAYS will be much more profitable to sell your own product or service… but there will be who don’t count with it.  

In that case, I recommend to acquire a product that includes the  

100% of the resale rights.  

 

 

 

Another big disadvantage with the affiliated systems or multilevels,it´s the BIG amount of frauds or tricky systems that there are in Internet.  

I know a lot of people that invested their money and hard work during months, and they only got coins.   

Disadvantage 3:  

Almost all the systems of this type don’t put limitations in  

the quantity of members that the system supports.   

After a time, you´ll find out that there are thousands and thousands  

of people offering the same product, and that all those people, have an identical sales page! 

That ends up saturating the product, the system and filling the patience of the users who receive hundred of identical advertising mails daily… as it´s the case of a recognized system that offers tourist packs!! 

 

 

Returning to the topic of how to get earnings with these  

systems, I suggest you to follow these simple instructions: 

 

Your main product should not be the one of the affiliated system. The products or services that you offer by means of these systems should be “secondary” or “complementary” to YOUR main product.

 

 

If when registering in these systems, the dealer offers you a “free affiliated page”,DON´T send your public there…!!Whereas, create your own page, with your own sales chart and your own expressions.  

With this, you will avoid that the buyers ends up acquiring the product by means of another member…and also, you will differ notably of your competitors (this is,other affiliated). 

 

In that page (your own),create a form to receive consultations, frequent questions, etc, and CREATE your OWN potential clients’ database.  

Contact them via e-mail, with promotional messages, with extra details of the product, etc. This is called PRE-SELL. 

 

After,(and only after) that the potential client is convinced that he needs,wish and wants to acquire the product,it´s when you will direct him to the page that the owner of the affiliated system assigned you. 

 

You must already have deduced the reason for all this… and yes…! potential clients database will be YOURS ,and only you will know it… and you will be able to use it in the future to PRE-SELL another related product, of another affiliated system!! 

 

In this way, you also will avoid the risk that the owner of the system use your referred for other commercial purposes… mmm…. do you understand? 

 

Have present that: 

 

The database of potential clients that had subscribed  

in the forms of your website and had given THEIR PERMISSION  

to receive your messages, it is the MOST VALUABLE  possession of your business (of any item) and… if you manage it correctly, it can become a sales machine!!
