whats the difference between affiliate marketing and network marketing?

Affiliate marketing is something where you sell others' products and get commissions. You will get commissions for the sales made by your own efforts only. Network marketing is selling a product to a customer, who in turn sells it to another customer and so on. In network marketing you get commissions for the sales made by you and your customers. Comparatively, network marketing has high potential. You can really feel the power of duplication. In both types of marketing, you have to be selective when choosing a product and company. (The price, the demand, the quality, the support, the compensation - everything should be analysed.) Otherwise, you may not succeed.
