Why would you want Affiliate Marketing programs for your network marketing business? To help you generate quick cash to fuel your marketing activities.

What exactly is Affiliate Marketing? "Affiliate marketing is an Internet-based marketing practice in which a business rewards one or more affiliates for each visitor or customer brought about by the affiliate's marketing efforts," according to Wikipedia. So if you drive customers to an affiliate marketing partner's site, then they will pay you a commission for driving that referral to them… sort of a "finder's fee."

How does that help you grow your network marketing business, you might be wondering. It doesn't… at first. If the prospects you've been referring feel that the affiliate program was a benefit to them, then your relationship becomes more valuable in their eyes. That's the first step in Attraction Marketing… delivering valuable information. The next time that prospect is looking for information, where will they go? Most likely to you, because you have established yourself as a solutions provider to your prospects. So this becomes the start of your sales pipeline.

It's much easier to sell an inexpensive affiliate marketing program to someone than it is to sell a network marketing business opportunity. The prospect may already have a network marketing business and not be interested in yours. Or the prospect might not have passion for your product. And the notion of getting a stranger to spend $1-200 up front and commit to an autoship for an additional $1-200 each month is pretty steep. Affiliate Marketing programs lower all those barriers to sales.

There's a secondary benefit from Affiliate Marketing programs… cash! The path to cash can be a long one when starting a new network marketing business. But when you have Affiliate Marketing programs that you can refer prospects to, then you start generating cash as soon as you start generating traffic. Getting paid during the prospecting process is nice. And multiple streams of income are even better.

What's the first Affiliate Marketing program that I recommend to all network marketers? The Renegade Network Marketer by Ann Sieg. She articulates the principles of Attraction Marketing (a.k.a. Relationship Marketing) superbly. She also spells out the best tools to use when growing your network marketing business. And there are even 35 Affiliate Marketing programs that Ann recommends that are included in The Renegade System (Back Office).

If you're new to Attraction Marketing or the internet or online marketing, I recommend that you read Ann's (free) new eBook The Attraction Marketer's Manifesto. It will give you lots of detailed information about jumpstarting your online marketing strategy.

As terrific as The Renegade System is, it can also be overwhelming. Unless you're a seasoned veteran of the Internet and network marketing, you might be confused about where to start and what to do first. That's when I recommend the 90-Day Marketer for network marketing training.

The 90-Day Marketer is the second Affiliate Marketing program I recommend to most network marketers because it provides a step-by-step guide for implementing The Renegade System. McKay Earl, the developer of the 90-Day Marketer, has been affiliated with Ann Sieg for many years. In fact, he was her top-selling affiliate. So McKay clearly knows and understands how to implement and market The Renegade System.

In the 90-Day Marketer there are over 75 videos that address these areas:

1. The big picture of the marketing process
2. Promoting yourself on your website
3. Email auto-responder
4. Copywriting
5. Marketing education
6. Direct selling training and the prospecting process
7. Coaching

With another 25 videos in production, the information in the 90-Day Marketer is complete and thorough.

Affiliate Marketing Programs are the fastest path to cash for network marketers and small businesses because they have low barriers to sales, bring prospects into your sales pipeline, and provide necessary cash early on to fuel your marketing campaigns.
