Affiliates
make money in pretty much two ways, firstly by direct sales (straight
forward, no need to elaborate on this) and secondly by commissions from
on-selling.
In this article I will be focusing on the affiliates, better known as
your down line, your team, your partners, your network.
There are several different types of affiliates, the elusive Super
Affiliate, Active Affiliates from Direct Sales, Active Affiliates who
On-Sell and inactive affiliates.
The Active Affiliate from Direct Sales are the ones who join up under
you and maintain their subscription to the program/service but don’t
on-sell to others. Giving you Direct Sale Commission.
The Active Affiliate who On-Sell’s are the ones that provide you
passive income giving you a percentage of their sales, this is known as
TIER income. It is estimated that less than 5% of your Active
Affiliates from Direct Sales will become On-Sellers. However, in saying
that, the higher the commission on the product/service the higher
percentage rate for Active Affiliate from Direct Sales to become
On-Sellers.
So, lets look at a scenario, 25 Active Affiliates join under you,
selling web hosting and you get $10.00 per direct sale as commission
per month, assuming the Active Affiliate maintains their subscription.
That’s and extra $250 a month in your pocket. Not a lot of money, BUT
if you repeat this process in 9 other programs then your monthly income
increases to $2500.00.
If the program being promoted is a necessity i.e. web hosting, auto
responders etc, it is likely the Active Affiliate will maintain their
subscription. However if the program is not a necessity item such as an
ebook or similar then it is unlikely the affiliate will maintain their
subscription, so choose affiliate programs wisely.
Dedicated Active Affiliate On-Sellers are a picky group that require a
lot of maintenance, online support and regular contact. The
product/service has to be lucrative for them to on-sell, with at least
a 4+ tier system for it to be worthwhile.
Unless you have the time and money to invest in On-Seller’s then my
suggestion today is for you to go for width not depth, and then
duplicate it many times over providing Multiple Streams of Income.
The last article in this series will focus fully on ACTIVE AFFILIATES
and how to get them. Till then to your online success!
