subject: Compensation Plans - ' Affiliate ' [print this page] . It is an essential part of the business of Marketing. However, using caution is recommended as things are not always as they appear.
I have previously discussed other Compensation Plans such as, ' The Binary ', where the leg structure, if you will, must be balanced in order to achieve success. ' The Unilevel, where multiple levels are placed underneath the sponsor, ' Breakaway ' which is very similar to ' The Unilevel, however, you have the opportunity to Breakaway and ' The 1UP / 2UP ', where one gives their first and second sale to their upline and that process gets repeated. Today, I will discuss ' The Affiliate Program '.
The Affiliate Program really stands out from all of the rest. Your downline does not necessarily benefit at all financially. In this program you are paid immediately after making a sale. Payments can be considerably high and based on a ' sales system '. An Affiliate goes through extensive training. They are taught a skillset which may be applied to any business of their choice, one in particular, how to generate lists of people who are interested in what you have to offer. This makes the idea of supply and demand possibly go hand in hand.
This is definitely an advantage point, getting people to seek out what you are offering is more than half the battle.
The disadvantage is the cost of ' getting traffic '. Most Affiliates may only break even or make a very low percentage on a sale. However, with hard work and perseverance, the sky can definitely be the limit with out a doubt.
