What is an Affiliate Program?

An affiliate program is basically a company that offers you and me the chance to sell their products and make a profit by doing so. Example: Traffic Payouts sells several different ebooks that show you how to make money on the internet.

One of the courses that they sell costs $49.00, by signing up as an affiliate to Traffic Payouts you can sell this course at the same price, and make $34.96 per sale. Traffic Payouts created their affiliate program so that they can have people all over the internet selling their product for them.

When you join as an affiliate you are given a special tracking code that is put at the end of your internet address that is given to you. Example http://www.trafficpayouts.com/2613 The tracking code in this example is 2613 when people go to this internet address the code is carefully read and assigned to the affiliate. Whenever a visitor returns to this page the tracking code will still recognize the tracking code.

Therefore when the visitor purchases the Traffic Payouts course the tracking code 2613 is noted down and $34.96 is then awarded to the seller in this case me! There are many many companies that have established affiliate programs because it allows them to have their products sold by a wide range of people. It is also great for us because we can sell virtually thousands of products without actually creating the product. Now for the really great stuff, Two-Tier Affiliate Programs.

Two-tier affiliate programs are by far one of the best ways to make money with affiliate programs. A two-tier affiliate program works on two levels. Example: I sign up to the Traffic Payouts and then sign up other people to the Traffic Payouts and get paid on their sales.

The code in your internet address http://www.trafficpayouts.com/2613 2613 tells the Traffic Payouts that the visitor has signed up through your tracking code. Therefore when this person sells a course from Traffic Payouts you will make $5.00. So let’s say in one month you personally sell 2 Traffic Payouts courses and your affiliates (4) that you sign up sell 4  courses (1 each) you will have $34.96 X 2 =$69.92. Plus $5 X 4 =$20.00 for a total of $89.92.

Two tier affiliate programs are great because you can make money off your affiliates without doing any work, all you have to do is sign them up. However it is recommended that you promote the courses yourself too. To sign up to Traffic Payouts free of charge
