Can You Earn Commissions On Their Sales? Well, Maybe
Two-tier affiliate programs reward you for signing up sub-affiliates. As well as earning commissions on your sales, you earn commissions on their sales.
You probably won't take this advice most people don't but I'm going to tell you anyway
Lots of affiliates try to make money from two-tier affiliate programs simply by signing up other affiliates and hoping those affiliates will make money for them.
Why does that usually fail?
Because those affiliates will copy your silly technique and sign up lots more people, who sign up more people. If they copy your technique, no one earns any money.
Here's more tough news, learned the hard way
In the early days of affiliate marketing, before 2000, I used to be really enthusiastic about two-tier affiliate programs.
However, I've learned that you can put in a lot of effort persuading people to join programs and then find that the vast majority of them don't achieve sales for you.
They either do nothing or they're quickly distracted by the latest new gimmick or new program and abandon the one you recommended.
One important exception
Here's one important exception. If you're in a key position and have access to brilliant marketers who have large opt-in lists, then you CAN make good money by introducing them to new two-tier affiliate programs.
However, be aware that most newsletter publishers get swamped with invitations to join new programs. They don't want to receive dozens of invitations to the same program.
The surest way of earning a good living from affiliate programs is to do the work yourself. Promote the the product, not the program.
Treat any second tier commissions as a nice bonus.
That's what I do.
If you're looking for good two-tier affiliate programs to join, the three most important factors are:
* An excellent product or service.
* A generous commission.
* A site with a high conversion rate.
If you're really lucky, you'll also earn lifetime commissions your customers are yours for life. You don't just earn a commission on one sale, you earn a commission on every subsequent purchase by that customer.
Notice !

That is part of their attraction. There are no costs to you and they should also be risk free. Any Affiliate marketing programs that demands your money is not an affiliate program. You should ask yourself why they are misrepresenting themselves this way if they are legitimate.
