You will probably understand how you can make money with affiliate marketing and you may even have some experiences with it. In fact, what you really need to do is to put an affiliate link on your website. You can then sit back and wait for people to follow your links to purchase the products you are promoting. You will then earn the commission generated from the purchase.

You can have a chance to make even more money if the program you have joined is a two-tier program. Under this program, you do not only make money by making sales, but also by referring people to join as new affiliate marketers.

Just like the traditional way of how affiliate marketing runs, you will put a link into your websites to promote the affiliate program. When someone is interested and click the link to join, you will then make some money. Besides, you will also make money when the people you have referred make sales of the products. This is real passive income and you do not need to put any effort on it if the one you referred is able to make sales.

What is even better is that you may have third-tier or forth-tier. This means that when the new affiliate marketers refer new people to join, you can also earn a portion of the commissions. As a result, you will be able to earn a lot if you can manage to refer quality new marketers.

You may wonder if the whole concept is legal or not. It is very natural to have such thoughts since it is too similar to multi-level marketing. However, it is in fact have no association with multi-level marketing. In most cases people are not selling real products under multi-level marketing while you will be still selling real products or services under the concept of two-tier affiliate marketing. As a matter of fact, the concepts behind these two kinds of marketing jobs are also different!

Moreover, you will be able to earn as much as you can. There is virtually no limit for the amount you can earn. As long as you can refer new people to join the programs, you will be able to make money. Consequently how much you are going to earn will be connected to how well you are referring people to join and how well the second-tier is selling the products. And in the long run your income will increase since the scale of your second-tier will increase as time goes by.
