Maximising Affiliate Marketing Using Two Tier Affiliate Method
Another excellent way to utilize affiliate marketing to your full advantage is through "Two tier affiliate marketing" I have no doubt we have heard this word before but have never fully settled down to grasp how powerful this concept can be towards generating a stream of income. Two-tier is an enticing feature of a particular affiliate program wherein, affiliates are allowed to sign-up additional affiliates below them. So that when the sub-affiliates otherwise known as second tier affiliates, earns a commission, the affiliate above receives a commission too. I know some people are getting to set to click the back button... but I encourage you to hear me out. Even if you are living on an island and do not have friends or family, you have nothing to worry about as there are so many ways to kill a rat (just a saying).
Look for two tier affiliate programs that will pay no less than $10 or 15% at the second tier level. I know it might take a bit of digging around to find these programs, but i guarantee you it will be worthwhile as you do not want to rush out and sign up for every program you see (garbage in garbage out). You can start with a few and gradually add more programs as you make success and grow more confident as your profit grows. Obviously whatever you make in your first level is you're to keep but we are also interested in what the second tier affiliate has to offer right?
Now after you have signed up to your choice programs you have completed the first phase of "maximizing affiliate marketing using two tier affiliate method". The next step is to look for your second tier and we are not looking for your family and friends unless they own a website related to the program you are promoting. Finding webmasters who will join your second tier is not as daunting as you think because I have done it and you will be surprised how easy it is if you set your mind to it. Using Google, find websites that are related to the product you are marketing and find the contact details of the webmaster and write a very simple letter telling him briefly how you have found a product that might interest his traffic and think that by joining this program and offering it to his site visitors that he stands to make extra income for no extra work.
You will have to be creative at this point and make sure you do not try to explain the program into details in your message to the webmaster, simply tell him enough to get his appetite wet enough to click your link and see the program. Even though he does not join the program there and then the site leaves a cookie on his computer which lasts for probably 90 days (cookie life time differs with program). So if come back next month to join that program as long he has not cleared his cookies he will be in your second tier. Reason why I recommend contacting webmasters is because they already have the traffic and generally it's a win situation for every party involved.
This is no brainer but remember if you want it hard enough then give it a fair shot.
Two words of advice:
1. Do not spam people as they are offended and simply send your message to spam box.
2. Be choosy about the two tier programs you join (there are so many of them).
