Internet marketing also known as e-marketing, internet advertising, web marketing and online marketing is generally described as the marketing of products and services on the internet. As of 2007 internet marketing is reported as growing faster than any other types of media.
Network marketing or Multi level marketing is a business distribution model that allows a parent company to market its products or services directly to consumers by way of referrals or direct selling. In other words independent salaried sales people usually referred to as independent agents, distributors, consultants, franchise owners, independent business owners represent the parent company and are awarded commissions based on the volume of products sold through each of these independent businesses.
The main differences between the two are:
Network Marketing is more about the downline whereas Internet Marketing is more about generating sales on the internet.
Network Marketing can also be done off the internet (offline) whereas Internet Marketing has to be done on the Internet.
Success
via Network Marketing is based to a greater extent on recruiting
persons into a particular business as the more persons you recruit then
your chances of success increase, whereas in Internet Marketing you are
more independent and your success is based mostly on your efforts in
generating sales via the internet. You can do Network Marketing on the internet but you cannot do Internet Marketing off the internet.
