No, this is not an MLM.

Multi-Level Marketing (MLM) and Affiliate Marketing, despite both being methods of generating income through sales, are fundamentally different in their structure, approach, and how profits are earned.

Here's a breakdown of the key differences between the two:

Business Model:

MLM: MLM companies typically sell products or services through a network of distributors or representatives who earn commissions not only from their own sales but also from the sales of the distributors they recruit (downline). MLMs often have multiple levels of compensation, hence the term "multi-level."

Affiliate Marketing: In affiliate marketing, individuals (affiliates) earn commissions by promoting other companies' products or services. Affiliates don't recruit other affiliates; they earn commissions solely based on their own sales or referrals.

Recruitment vs. Sales Focus:

MLM: MLMs often place a strong emphasis on recruiting new distributors and building a downline. Distributors earn bonuses and commissions not only from their own sales but also from the sales made by those they recruit.

Affiliate Marketing: Affiliate marketing is primarily focused on driving sales. Affiliates earn commissions based on their own sales.

Product Ownership and Profit:

MLM: In MLM, distributors typically purchase products from the company at wholesale prices and then sell them at retail prices. Distributors earn profits from the markup between wholesale and retail prices, as well as from bonuses and commissions based on sales volume within their downline.

Affiliate Marketing: Affiliates earn a commission for each sale they generate. Affiliates need to purchase the digital product once, themselves, and then they earn 100% profit of each sale price. Social Expansion Collectives earn 100% profit through selling our courses.

Risk and Investment:

MLM: Joining an MLM often involves purchasing a starter kit or product inventory, as well as ongoing costs such as monthly quotas or fees. There's also the risk of not being able to recoup these costs if sales are low.

Affiliate Marketing: Affiliate marketing involves purchasing the digital course once. Affiliates don't need to invest in physical inventory, and there are usually no membership fees or quotas to meet. The main investment is time and effort spent on marketing and promoting products.

In summary, while both MLM and affiliate marketing involve earning commissions from sales, MLM relies on building a distributor network and earning from the sales of recruits, whereas affiliate marketing focuses on driving sales directly through promotional efforts. Additionally, affiliate marketing typically involves lower upfront costs.

You get paid directly from each course you sell. You will be your own business so the payouts will go directly to you. Depending on your payment methods you accept determines how frequently your individual payouts will happen. Normally the payment frequency is paid daily through Stripe/PayPal.

No, this is not a course to sell a course.

A "digital marketing affiliate course" could refer to two different things:

A course about affiliate marketing in the digital marketing niche: This type of course would teach individuals how to become affiliates in the digital marketing space. It would cover topics such as finding affiliate products to promote, creating content to drive traffic and sales, utilizing email marketing and social media for promotion, tracking and analyzing affiliate performance, and optimizing affiliate campaigns. Essentially, it would be a course teaching digital marketing strategies specifically for promoting affiliate products.

A course about becoming an affiliate for a digital marketing course: In this case, the course would teach individuals how to promote and sell a specific digital marketing course (the one being sold by the course creator). It would cover strategies for marketing and selling the course, such as creating content, building an audience, utilizing email marketing and social media, and optimizing sales funnels. Essentially, this is a course teaching individuals how to become affiliates for a particular digital marketing course and earn commissions by promoting it.

In either scenario, the focus is on affiliate marketing within the digital marketing niche, but the specific content and objectives of the course may differ based on whether it's about promoting digital marketing products in general or a specific digital marketing course.
