Did you know as an affiliate you can make passive income by referring successful affiliates to programs you are in? I am always amazed how many affiliates, specifically influencers, don’t take advantage of this revenue stream.
What is a two tier affiliate program?
The merchant provides an on-going and/or flat fee for recruiting a new affiliate to the program. The commission is either a flat fee when the affiliate signs up via your two-tier link or an ongoing commission based on your referred affiliate’s commission.
How does it work?
As with all things affiliate, it starts with a link from your affiliate network. You grab the affiliate code for the Two-Tier sign up. This is essential because it tags your referred affiliate to you. Once the affiliate is assigned to you, you automatically receive a commission based on your referred affiliates commission.
Please note, the new affiliate always gets the same commission. It is not less due to being part of a two tier program.
