This is a very important question about affiliate tiers. I have been looking for affiliate company that can do five affiliate tiers however come to a dead end. Only some software foes this. But people get put off I think with people running their own affiliate with software and tend to go with Commission Junction etc. So with five ties a person can get some sub affiliates under them and theirs get sub affilaites etc and this is possible for the top affiliate to get quite a lot of money (specially recurring commissions) with five tiers.(its same as mlm really) My question is would the same happen and make me wealthy (being merchant) just running two tier program or should I search for company that can handle fiver tiers affiliates? Example of five tiers is YOU get five people they get five they get five they get five they get five 5,25,125,625,3125
Personally I would think that you would just do as well with your affiliate program if it was a 2 tier. Many people don't like multi-tiered programs and some affiliate program directories don't even allow them to be listed within their directory apart from mine. lol. I think you may be safer going for a 2 tier program, so affiliates prefer 1 tier programs, but if you have a 2 tier program, it's more likely to out way the 1 tier program as you will also get others promoting it for you because they will be giving an incentive to do this, which is a percentage of their referral earning that they recruit to your affiliate program. If you need some software or want to go with an affiliate software option that will manage the program for you, then there are some of the top and most popular here If you go for the managed one then ShareASale is a good one. I am an affiliate and have nothing bad to say about them and many others hasn't either. Even merchants have said good things about them and nothing bad. Well I have not found anything bad about them yet anyway. Hope this helps.
First of all John269-Thanks for replying )))) The thing about Multi levels as in Multi level marketing is that you only need a handful of people who get a handful etc etc now just two tier programs have a hard time getting you the really big Bucks for example you have to get a hundred people who all get a hundred. I have had a reply fro the Sharesale chaps which is great as Azoogle have not bothered see other thread.Now Azoogle does seem to have the better reputation and this is what I am looking for is to get the big super affiliates who can make my program work for me and them and pretty quick too.
