MLM vs Affiliate Marketing (AM) - what is the difference?

Affiliate Marketing

-AM is always FREE to join

-AM is typically one tier but can be 2 tiers

-Training and support, if any come directly from the company (not a sponsor or upline)

-AM is selling products or free offers or generating leads

-You get paid commission for the sale or offer or lead

-You do not get paid for recruiting others into a business; you get paid for selling the end product to end users.

-Sometimes you get paid a percentage of commission earned by webmasters you refer, but only one level deep. But it is always for selling the product or service not for bringing them into a business

It is MLM or Network Marketing if...

-you have to buy a starter kit or pay to join

-you have to buy products

-you have to qualify for income

-it is more than 2 levels of pay (you and the person you refer)

-you can not understand the COMP PLAN

-it takes 8 pages to explain the comp plan :)

-you have to recruit, sponsor and/or train others

-the only ones that get rich are at the top

The only people who make real money with Affiliate Marketing are those people who are pros in E-Commerce, website development, Search Engine optimization, and other things that the average person simply will not be able to succeed at.Again, if the merchant has enough people out there selling just 1 or 2 things it all adds up to great money for them, but it does not make much for the Affiliate.

Ginny Dye, the founder of My Power Mall, spent many years in the Network Marketing or Multi-level Marketing Industry. She was a leader and trainer in her company.Anyone would have called her a success but she walked away from all of it 5 years ago.Why?Because she was tired of watching so many wonderful people try and fail.Do you know that only 3% of people in MLM actually succeed?That means 97% of them FAIL.She simply could no longer introduce people to something and ask them for money, commitment and time; only to watch them fail, drop out and end up discouraged and disillusioned.She walked away and never looked back.

During the last 5 years she has worked with a team of 60 amazing people, investing a half million dollars of cash and time, to create a simple system that EVERYONE can succeed with.It is not your typical MLM.It is not a typical Affiliate Program.Frankly, it is not a typical anything!It is simply a brand new concept that will allow the 97% of people who have failed before to finally succeed!

It seems that a good description of this business would not be MLM or AM or the like but maybe...

WM - (Wealth Marketing).

By this I do not mean Wealth just as in a financial sense because as we know, there is much more to it here at MPM.

Yes, I was attracted by a much better chance of success for the 97% of current internet failure's out there.
Yes, I was attracted because there is no financial risk.
Yes, I joined because you do not have to sell, we just give it away.

But:
Wealth can also be measured in a spiritual sense.
The fact that what we are giving away will help change people's lives.
The fact of giving something back to society as a whole.
The fact that identifiable worthy causes and individuals will benefit from the actions of other's - (Our Membership and Corporate) where they have possibly not had any recognition from any source in the past.

The bottom line is that My Power Mall simply does not fit any model that is out there.It has the opportunity to lead the way in a business that is truly designed for every single person to be able to succeed.I believe that is something you can be very proud of!

The question is; can someone build a successful MY POWER MALL business if they are starting with nothing?I believe the answer is yes, but you (listen carefully if you are one of them) need to accept some basic truths in the very beginning:
1 - You are going to have to work harder than other people who have money to invest
2 - You are going to have to be creative and think "outside-the-box" thoughts.
3 - You have to accept that it will probably take you a little longer than it will for people with money to invest.
4 - You are going to have to want it badly enough to pay a little higher price, knowing that your rewards will be exponentially greater as well!

MY POWER MALL was created to empower you to create the life you want - opening the door to anyone no matter what your financial situation is!

- MY POWER MALL really is FR*EE. There is no cost to you. EVER.
- There is nothing to SELL. All you have to do is shop in any one of 1000 stores on your own personal Mall and buy whatever you and your family need and want.
- There is no qualifying to receive your income. When you make it, it is yours. Pretty simple.
- There are no meetings. People already know how to shop!
- All tools are FR*EE. You are given everything you need.
