Make more affiliate money with two-tier affiliate programs
One of the aspects that has helped create super incomes for many of the richest affiliates, are affiliate programs where commissions are paid on second tier affiliates. If you are able to productively earn two-tier revenue that can be a very huge bonus to your classic affiliate profits.
What is a second tier? When you join an affiliate program, you are the first tier. The person you enroll to sign up as affiliate is the second tier. So, a second tier affiliate program rewards you for signing up new affiliates. As well as earning commissions on your sales, you earn commissions on their sales. Some two-tier affiliate programs offer up to 75% commission on the first tier and up to 20% on the second tier.
You should know that if there are any more tiers, that's regarded as multi-level marketing, according to the definition used by most affiliate directories. Two tier affiliate programs are not MLM, but two-tier programs are legally regarded as multi-level marketing in a few states in the U.S. It's nonsense because "multi" means "many", and a two-tier affiliate program does not have many levels.
If your desire is to make money by making affiliates believe you and sign up "below" you, pick your affiliate merchants very carefully. You need to choose merchants, who offer to sell a steady stream of superior products, pay high commissions, and treat their affiliates extremely well. Their websites should have a high conversion rate. In other words, they should convert visitors into sales without problems.

Help them make more money online and make more money with them. In contrast, you are able to recommend your favorite second tier affiliate programs to successful affiliate marketers, your colleagues. In this case you can get even more money, because you will get the part of their possibly large profits.
