In this type of business you recruit a down line of distributers and get paid on thier purchases and sales. You will also earn an income on the sales of distributors that they recruit.

To build a very large sales force it does not take to many personal recruits as you can see. As your group continuous to grow so can your residual income.

The difference between two tier affiliate marketing programs and network marketing is that in affiliate marketing you only get paid on your sales and the sales of your personal recruits. You do not earn money on the sales of affiliates that they recruit. Affiliate marketing can still be a great residual income opportunity to create an instant income. As you get more websites and affiliates recruited you can still earn residual income over and over for years to come on all products sold. The key to creating a residual income with affiliate marketing is three things :

The first is create and manage a large number of personal web sites. Second, recruit quality "top gun" affiliates to sell for you. And third is to start your own affiliate marketing program.

You can still make a very large income with affiliate marketing even though you do not get the benefits of a large downline several levels deep like network marketing provides.
