When I first learned about the concept of two tier affiliate programs, it caught my attention when I realized that:
One of the most common one tier programs is Clickbank. One tier programs involve promoting & selling products & services that companies have already developed. In exchange for this, you receive a percentage of the sales price. However, the income stops there.
In a two tier program, the first tier works the same way as other programs like Clickbank. The only difference is the additional tier where you can also earn a commission on sales generated by people that you refer the program to (these people are called sub-affiliates).
In plain English, let's say that you signed up as an affiliate to promote a site selling weight loss products. If you promote the weight loss products yourself, you will be a first tier affiliate. On the other hand, if you refer other people (sub-affiliates) to the program, then you will receive an additional commission from the products they sell. So, this gives you the opportunity to earn alot more money.
Think about it - You have the opportunity to generate income in 2 ways:
1. Promoting & selling products yourself
2. Referring the program to sub-affiliates & receiving a commission when they sell the products. So, you do the work 1 time (by referring the program) and then just sit back and let the sub-affiliates do the rest of the work.
There's no limit to the amount of income you can make. You will create a nice passive monthly income.
When choosing a two tier affiliate program, make sure the program offers high quality and high commission products. Use a keyword tool to research the keywords to make sure the products are in demand. You don't want to spend your time promoting a program/product that people don't want. You also want to find a program that provides you with promotional materials.
Once you've selected a great two tier affiliate program, all you have to do is start promoting the products and start referring the program to others. You can do this by simply placing a banner on your website or sending out an email. It's that simple. If you find a program with promotional materials, the banners & emails will already be provided for you. It's doesn't get much easier than that.
