The answer is your very own elevator speech.Read on for the Make it Great! 30 second elevator speech:Make it Great! is not just a statement, it's a way of life. Focusing on those little things you can do on Before you have a nose bleed, this is simply achieved by offering your current affiliates a two tier payment mechanism. The first tier is the one they are on now; they get paid for referring business directly to you. The second tier is a payment to the affiliate for any business produced by someone else that they have recommended joins your affiliate program. This guy is what is known in the trade as a “sub-affiliate”. For example, Joe sends you business each week and notices that you offer a two tier scheme, he then thinks, I know some people who’d be interested in promoting this too!

This could be a 5% on top of what you would pay normally. Do you see the benefit from Joe doing this? He may refer people that will sell much more product that he can yet he will still earn and income, and that can be great for doing very little work! It is a true Win, Win, Win!

One of the drawbacks to the major affiliate networks is that not many offer a Two Tier System. With this in mind it might be best to use an “in house” affiliate solution to run along side any existing affiliate program you may have and invite affiliates to join. The best solution that I have used is AssocTrac by the Internet Marketing Center. It is a software solution that runs off your own web server and you have full control over everything. It is also relatively simple to setup and run. The other solution that works fantastically well is My Affiliate Program (MYAP) by Kowabunga Technologies. This is a hosted service, i.e. it sits on someone else’s server. This has its advantages too. It is quick to implement, the learning curve is not as high as AssocTrac. The downside I suppose is the feeling of a lack of ownership. Click here to read more about My Affiliate Program (MYAP) How to I promote a Two Tier System? If you have an existing program with a large affiliate network that doesn’t offer a two tier system then it may be an idea to create an in-house system such as AssocTrac or MYAP and then invite key Affiliates into a Two Tier Scheme. Make sure though that if this is what you do, you only offer the second tier. Let them continue to earn there income through your affiliate network partner. You don’t want to be in breach of your terms and conditions. Secondly, tell your affiliate network what you are trying to do. They may not have an off the shelf solution but they may be able to find a way
