Methods To Make Money Online With Two Tier Affiliate Programs

By Jack Lee


Becoming an Affiliate Marketer is now a popular way for people to make money online. This has become extremely competitive when promoting a popular niche or particular product. Another type of affiliate marketing not as well known or competitive yet is two tier affiliate marketing also known as second tier. The concept is quite simple and consists of signing up a person as an affiliate and you receive commissions every time that affiliate makes a sell.

Affiliate Marketing appeals to many as a lucrative opportunity to earn passive income by being able to sell products that you do not own or have to deal with delivery, customer service, etc. Unfortunately with technology constantly adapting and the search engine logic always in a state of fluctuation has made affiliate marketing very hands on rater than passive if you want to stay competitive in a given niche.

In previous years a niche website could be optimized into the top ranking of the search engines and for the most part would remain at the current page rank with little maintenance. With the Black Hat tools and methods available to those that can access or understand how to use them to gain an unfair advantage by cheating the search engines to get ranked in the one of the top slots.

Those who spent months on SEO to get there site ranked can be frustrated to the point of giving up. The income made from the site drops exponentially with every position it drops in rankings.

It may be difficult for an established affiliate marketer to have to rely on other people's sales rather than their own and be able to track their sale trends whenever they choose. Making money with minimal effort in a market that is not over saturated should be enough to get any marketer's attention.

This is why rather than continue battling to keep your piece of the market looking into second tier affiliate programs and affiliate prospects is often the logical choice. There are many eager and talented people out there just starting out that would jump at the chance to learn from someone who knows the many ins and outs of internet marketing.

Signing up these affiliates as second tiers will be similar to marketing any other product. Rather than selling a product you are now selling an affiliate program in which the potential second tier would have nothing to lose or any upfront cost. This coupled with lack of competition will make recruiting easy. Again this will be similar to how you begin in a niche by putting the work in upfront to get quality individuals with you there to assist and mentor them as needed to help protect your investment.

This type of program allows you to get out of front lines of the market while letting the second tiers handle that, many of which are younger and may have much better technical skills than yourself and be better at keeping up with the constant fluctuation in marketing technology. Simply lay the ground work of a successful plan for your second tier affiliates to follow and just like when promoting products you will have some do great while others end up producing nothing at all. All it takes is a few successful marketers to be molded underneath you and you will truly make money online passively and stress free.
