How is the Tampogo network marketing opportunity different from the Amazon affiliate program? Tampogo is an emerging MLM network marketing company that is trying to be a major player in the online discount shopping world. Amazon has always been the dominant player in the field of customer loyalty programs involving discount purchases. Unfortunately, Amazon’s affiliate program does not operate under a network marketing software like Tampogo’s. So this presents a major challenge to those who want to become affiliate marketers for Amazon because affiliate marketing is a different breed of marketing program that requires a background in internet marketing in order to be successful.

The industry critics probably have the following questions lingering in their heads: Can Tampogo stay toe to toe with Amazon with the constant availability of popular selling items at discount prices? What I am trying to say is that Tampogo still needs to overcome a lot of major obstacles in order to establish themselves as a possible leader in the massive field of bargain hunting sites. They still need to work on expanding their product line that meet the bargain hunting demands of the online shopping community. Customer loyalty achieved through the network marketing channels is an objective that Tampogo is 100% focused on at the given moment. You can call it a network marketing revolution.

What does Tampogo need to do in order to grab a lions share of the online shopping industry that caters to the concept of saving money shopping online? Well, first of all, they need to understand the Amazon business model and how to implement something similar in order to stay competitive.

Since most people do their shopping online, Tampogo really needs to learn about consumer buying behavior in the online shopping world and compare it with the brick and mortal retail businesses. I am not trying to imply that the brick and mortal retailers are going to lose the marketing battle to online shopping sites like Amazon. Jeff Bezos of Amazon already had a vision for this type of business potential back in the mid 90’s and has excelled tremendously with his billion dollar company.

Steve Jobs of Apple computer has definitely done a great job creating obsolescence in the music CD industry with his famous introduction of the Ipod product line. He has put a huge dent in Virgin Record’s business revenue in the physical CD distribution market.

I can say that Jeff Bezos of Amazon has been a great student of Steve Job’s vision of excellence in market domination. He was able to incorporate those elements of market domination through his latest product creation called the Kindle reader. All book lovers can download books purchased through Amazon onto the Kindle reader. Despite it’s unique innovative technology, the phasing out of the physical book market is not possible due to a very known statistical fact that people love to hold a book in their bare hands as opposed to reading it in an e-book format.

Barnes and Nobles and other big name book retailers are no longer going to get squeezed out of the book market by the evolution of new technology.

You are probably wondering how significant is Tampogo to the online shopping world? Tampogo saw gaps in the affiliate marketing industry that is not being taken advantage of by the current industry giants. What is this gap in the market place? It is the powerful leverage of software technology that is capable of tracking the referral sources of all customers through network marketing channels.

Tampogo is also making significant strides in the online shopping world with the introduction to a network marketing business model that compensates customers for referring their friends to their site to sign up for a free membership account. And when purchases are made in that account that is tracked by Tampogo’s MLM software, the referring person will get paid. The result is that anyone with no computer knowledge can actually make money easily.

Does this mean that Amazon’s affiliate marketing model is more complicated? Yes… especially for those who are technically challenged in terms of not knowing how to copy an Amazon HTML affiliate code to a website. In other words, you need to know how to sell in order to make money with Amazon. And most average people do not have the patience to overcome the internet marketing learning curve. I have had my struggles myself and still do today. It ain’t easy.

Most people do not have this kind of patience to learn about the sophisticated nature of internet marketing. I still have problems myself wrestling with this concept. But not to worry. With the Tampogo network marketing business model, anyone can succeed without any knowledge of internet marketing. How is that possible? It’s because Tampogo pays out commissions to their members for the simple act of getting their friends and family to sign up for a free membership account. How difficult is that? The incentive to sign up is the opportunity to save money on their everyday purchases without changing their shopping habits. Do you know anyone who wants to save money? Now can you see why Tampogo’s network marketing business model is so easy to operate?
