ACTIVE AFFILIATES are those who sign up under you for free, then upgrade to being a paid affiliate. Those who sign up but don’t upgrade within repparttar

first 72 hours are called inactive affiliates and who are unlikely to ever upgrade.

These are people you DON’T invest a lot of time on. You can send them out your monthly ezine but that’s as far as invested time should go.

Those who have paid to upgrade from free or just looking stage are repparttar 102204 ones you should have regular contact in.

When I mention contact, I don’t mean contact to sell more things to them, but to offer support, advise, training etc. because these are repparttar 102205 ones that will follow you to repparttar 102206 ends of repparttar 102207 earth if you ask them to, if you treat them right.

Over repparttar 102208 past 12 months I have been testing various options and theories of Affiliates who sign up for free and then become paid upgrade affiliates.

My findings although not scientific by any means has shown me that in order for ACTIVE AFFILIATES to create direct sales, they must have repparttar 102209 right affiliate program to promote.

I’ve explained previously that a great affiliate program is one that is an absolute necessity, a program that will force repparttar 102210 buyer to have to start over again if they left your services i.e. web hosting, autoresponders.

According to repparttar 102211 search engines there are over 2 million Affiliate Programs for web hosting and over 1 Million for autoresponder affiliate programs. What about domain name affiliate programs, can you think of any others…I’m sure you can! Think necessity.

My findings also identified that a great affiliate program MUST be free to join. This gives repparttar 102212 prospective buyer repparttar 102213 opportunity to test-drive repparttar 102214 product before they buy.

Affiliates make money in pretty much two ways, firstly by direct sales (straight forward, no need to elaborate on this) and secondly by commissions from on-selling.

In this article I will be focusing on repparttar affiliates, better known as your down line, your team, your partners, your network.

There are several different types of affiliates, repparttar 102203 elusive Super Affiliate, Active Affiliates from Direct Sales, Active Affiliates who On-Sell and inactive affiliates.

The Active Affiliate from Direct Sales are repparttar 102204 ones who join up under you and maintain their subscription to repparttar 102205 program/service but don’t on-sell to others. Giving you Direct Sale Commission.

The Active Affiliate who On-Sell’s are repparttar 102206 ones that provide you passive income giving you a percentage of their sales, this is known as TIER income. It is estimated that less than 5% of your Active Affiliates from Direct Sales will become On-Sellers. However, in saying that, repparttar 102207 higher repparttar 102208 commission on repparttar 102209 product/service repparttar 102210 higher percentage rate for Active Affiliate from Direct Sales to become On-Sellers.

So, lets look at a scenario, 25 Active Affiliates join under you, selling web hosting and you get $10.00 per direct sale as commission per month, assuming repparttar 102211 Active Affiliate maintains their subscription. That’s and extra $250 a month in your pocket. Not a lot of money, BUT if you repeat this process in 9 other programs then your monthly income increases to $2500.00.
