Personally, I like to use a type of hybrid or integrated method
, if you like. The idea is to look for a network marketing company that automates everything except the advertising of your mlm website. Then you use article marketing and other effective methods to advertise and drive traffic to your website. Ultimately this is better that only affiliate marketing because of the exponential growth of network marketing. But nothing prevents you from doing some affiliate marketing- often this a quicker way than network marketing!
