Network Marketing involves recruiting people below you (a “downline”), and the more people you can recruit in your downline, the more you make in commissions. It’s sort of a legal pyramid scheme.
Affiliate marketing is selling products owned by other people and getting a set commission for each one you sell. It’s a way for you to start selling right away without needing to create your own product line and make some money.
Hope this helps a bit — there’s more info at the website below.

Basically, network marketing is a kind of multi level marketing whereas network marketing, is done through commission based sales, there are not a lot of levels involved (unlike the MLM of network marketing). both have their own pros and cons. You could check out the sources i used to find out more information.
