How will refering new affiliates to an affiliate program make me cash in the prospect? Thats where a 2 tier affiliate program works like magic!

Affiliates are getting cleverer by the day. So recently, affiliates know the difference between the various types of traffic they can get paid for. There are lots of definitions though – CPM, CPC, CPA, CPL, CPD and a lot of more.

CPM is impressions, when the publisher (the website owner) gets paid each time a banner is shown.

CPC is clicks, where the publisher (or email marketer and other marketers) gets paid each time a banner or text link is clicked upon.

The extra ways of getting paid are grouped together under the term performance marketing – and this is where the term affiliate is most generally used too.

An affiliate is a marketer who sends visitors to a different website using a range of methods (such as placing banners or text links on their own site, buying sponsored listings on search engines, email marketing and a lot of other various methods) and gets paid when an action happens. This action can be a lead (CPL stands for Cost per Lead), a Sale (CPS stands for Cost per Sale), a download (CPD stands for Cost per download) and many other variations.

Some in the Internet industry refer to performance based marketing as CPA (cost per acquisition), although the term is besides sometimes used for specific types of campaigns such as leads or sales.

Now that we’ve got over the hard part, the rest is simple to realize.

The affiliate gets paid for sending visitors to a specific landing page where an action happens – either a lead, a sale, a download or some other sort of action that the advertiser requires. As an instance, some advertisers are looking to build up their databases, so they pay for each opt in email address they receive, others want leads from particular locations, so they pay for zip codes, and then try convince the visitors after they fill in their zip code, to fill in a more full lead form.

The common denominator is that the affiliate gets paid when an action happens.

A 2 Tier affiliate program is basically finding new marketers to sign up under you to do EXACTLY what you are doing – sending visitors to various offers and getting paid when the visitors perform some sort of action. So why would you want other marketers to sign up under you to promote the same offers? Simple – you get paid a percentage of the sum the affiliate you refer gets paid? Sounds complex?

Don’t worry, it’s not hard to realize. As an example, say John promotes 5 different offers on a single affiliate network. He gets paid for every lead, sale, email and zip code he generates from these various offers. John now tells Mark about the Network and gets Mark to sign up using a banner or text link that has John’s referral code built into it. Mark now signs up to the Affiliate Network under John and starts promoting different offers and advertisers from the Affiliate Network. These offers DON’T have to be the same offers that John is promoting. Mark can promote ANY of the offers on the Affiliate Network.

And this is the best part…

For any amounts that Mark gets paid, John receives a percentage of the sum over and above what Mark gets paid. So if Mark gets paid $1000 in Month 1, and the 2 Tier Affiliate program is paying 5%, then John would receive $50 just for referring Mark.

But it gets even better…

Some 2 Tier Affiliate Networks pay LIFETIME commissions. So John wouldn’t get a referral payment just for a month or a year – he receives it FOR ALL TIME.

If Mark becomes a super affiliate and starts generating enormous commissions each month, John can just sit back and collect the checks as he referred him.

There are 3 critical things to understand when finding affiliates to sign up under you on 2 Tier Affiliate Programs:

Is the affiliate program or affiliate network reliable, has suitable tracking so your referrals are correctly tracked, has good campaigns and offers for the affiliates to promote so they really do make money, and do they pay timeously? Assuming that the affiliate program or network is good, what percentage do they pay you on amounts that your referrals get paid? All programs differ so compare various programs to see what the industry standard is.

How long do you continue receiving referral commissions for? Some pay for a month, some for the lifetime, and sure there are a lot of variations in between.

So do your homework and find a 2 Tier program that can make you cash long in the future for the work you’re doing now.
