2nd tier commission in promotion of an affiliate program

[Billy_Me]

Why is it important to have 2nd tier commission? Isn't it better to spend all the commission money on your direct affiliates?

Can you advise on the best strategy to promote affiliate program?

Is it YOUR affiliate program or is it an affiliate network? Second Tier affiliates will be your bread and butter in that case.

It will definitely depends on your product. Based on your affiliate program you can advertise in online classified ads etc. I found one pretty cool website.

i think 2 tier affiliate programs attract more people to join the affiliate program. they got a feeling that they would get some help in promoting the programs.

Hallo everybody......i was doing a bit of research regarding the 2 tier commission and the affiliate programs.....What i have understood is that paying 2-tier commission does not mean that you pay less to your first-tier affiliates, it just means additional expenses for you. There are lots of programs that pay 2-tier commissions, and they can make a good revenue.

There's a whole slew of affiliates who've found their forte in earning online by solely recommending and recruiting for affiliate programs which have second tiers. Offering a second tier is also a good way for a merchant to get the attention of the websites which feature webmaster traffic.

Also, usually the second tier pays a small rate, 5-10% typically. It doesn't much effect the rate first tier affiliates earn on a sale/lead.
