One of the most popular home based business opportunities of the last year is undoubtedly Empower Network and today we will look at why it's growth has sky-rocketed in the last 12 months.

If you are looking to potentially become an affiliate of this program, today we will talk about both products and affiliate earnings available to hopefully help you on your way to make an educated decision.

There are many features available but two stand out more than any others...

While most people who join home businesses shamefully overlook their products and just focus on their affiliate plan, this program actually provides something very useful in the shape of your own Authority Blog. This allows you to essentially reach more people online in your chosen niche.

Whatever your niche you will find some benefits to holding one of these blogs, as they do allow you to gain the benefits of the endless hours of establishing work that the company put it to achieve top 500 traffic positions online. This throws huge weight behind your posts to your blog, allowing you to get faster and higher positions in your chosen search results.

Once you have decided what you would like to use your blog for you can go about establishing yourself online. The only difference being that, as an authority website, you will be able to do so noticeably easier than before.

Quite a few members of the program also have an interest in it's affiliate plan, which allows you to earn an income from home for referring other people to join the company via your webpage.

Before we go any further with that, it's important to know that if you choose to become an affiliate rather than just a product using member, your monthly membership fee rises from $25 to $45. We mention this because we didn't feel it was prominent enough on the official website.

Each time you introduce a new member to your business via your exclusive webpage you receive a $25 commission which you are paid every month from that point on.

Many other online businesses choose to pay less per sale, with the focus on lower commissions along with the ability to earn each time a team member builds their business. You cannot do that here. This is more like Avon than most other online programs, you earn from what you do rather than earning a passive income.

That's why you are able to earn more commission as an affiliate of Empower Network per direct sale than most other online businesses, because you won't get as many referrals as you could in a smaller paying system such as Global Domains International which allows your team to grow through other people's efforts too. You also have a hybrid option now, companies such as Dynamic Digital Enterprise, which try to combine the best of both affiliate plans.

The top mistake people make online is jumping in too fast, so be sure to take in the facts from today's article and decide which type of affiliate plan you prefer.
