2 Tiered Affiliate Programs...
what are they? Let's start with affiliate programs first. Just in
case you have never heard of them, affiliate programs are website
links that make can you money. Sounds like a winner huh?
Affiliate Programs?
Here is the bottom line... online merchants need
sales. In order to get those sales, they need traffic. Your website
has traffic. So they offer you a "cut". All affiliate
programs work a bit differently but all of them track the traffic
to merchant sites and pay you accordingly. Once there is a sale,
lead, or even just a visit, then the referring site credits you
for the referral. This cut can be a percentage of the sale, a flat
fee, pay per click, pay per lead, or simply a credit (or even a
gift like a FREE lap top).
If a web surfer uses an affiliate link on your
site, then you make money. What is so good about this is no customer
service or risk is involved. You simply send traffic over to the
merchant's site. You can't get much easier than that.
How Do I Link?
Most affiliate programs make it very easy to link
to the merchant site by providing the banners, html, information
and other things to incorporate into your site. All you have to
do is get all this into your site ready to show your viewers. As
you may have guessed by now, you want to incorporate affiliate links
that are related to your website. If you have a site about collectible
cars, you would not want to add an affiliate link to a lingerie
store (...I don't know about that one.. You may do very well....
He-He! ;-) Generally speaking, you would want to add affiliate links
to your topic at hand. In this example, you would link to car parts
and tools, car auctions, or any other site related to cars.
OK... I GOT THAT. SO WHAT ARE TWO TIERED AFFILIATES?
2 Tiered affiliates are affiliate programs on steroids.
In other words, you get a lot more out of each affiliate you link
to. Instead of getting a strait "cut", you are getting
a "cut" PLUS the ability to make money in recruiting others.
A flat referral fee is good but if the program offers a continuous
commission on the sales of your "sub-affiliates", then
you have a gold mine.
The gold mine is the fact that you now have the ability to MULTIPLY
your efforts. Remember J. Paul Getty? He was, at one time, the richest
man in the world. He said...
"I’d rather have 100 people, each doing 1% of the work,
than 1 person doing 100% of the work."
Apply this principle to your affiliate advertising
and you’ll be amazed at the results.
What happens is this. As you refer new websites
to become your sub-affiliates then your income has the potential
to multiply. For example...
Let say that you earn 10% on an affiliate program
and the 2 tiered subagents can earn you 5% per sale. In one month
you send enough customers for $500 in sales.
$500 x 0.10 =$50
That is a $50 monthly commission for you. But lets
say that you refer 3 sub-affiliates per month. In one year, that
is 36 sub-affiliates. Let's also say that they are as successful
as you are. Then do the math...
$500 x 0.05 = $25 per sub-affiliate
$25 x 36 = $900/month
At years end, you would make $900/month on top
of your $50 commission. That equals $10,800 extra income in the
next year!
The question boils down to this...
Do you want to ADD or do you want to MULTIPLY?
You can chose affiliate programs that do not pay for you to recruit
new affiliates, but why would you want too? Instead of getting results
from sales sent from your site, why not spread it around? Multiply
your efforts. Make more money. It will begin to take on a life of
its own! Once you get the sub-affiliates selling then you are on
your way.
