As an affiliate marketer you get paid to sell products for merchants. This is a great way to make money on the Internet today, but in many instances you are only going to make money when you personally make a sale. In this article we want to talk about how you can create a residual income business and use two affiliate programs to do it.

With two-tier affiliate marketing you can earn money on the sales of people that you personally recruit. The basic process works like this.

1. You find an product that you want to sell and join that program as an affiliate marketer.

2. You begin to sell the product and develop a system that makes you successful doing it.

3. If they offer and two-tier program you will be given an affiliate link to recruit people underneath you.

4. Every time an someone joins your group on that link they will be placed on your front line.

5. As they begin to make sales you earn a smaller commission than your personal sales on every sale they make.

6. Over time you can develop a large network that is making sales all of the time.

7. You may be able to quit personally selling and create a residual income business just off of the sales of these two tier affiliates.

If you know anything about affiliate marketing you know what a tremendous opportunity it presents the average person to create a home business of their own. Of course the primary benefit is that you do not have to have your own products to make money online.

The merchant will provide everything you need to be successful. Your job is to sell the product and put together your own success system to do it.

With a two tier affiliate program you can create a residual income by teaching your team how you are successful. Your ability to present, in an easy-to-understand fashion the techniques that you follow on a day-to-day basis, will in part determine how much money you make on your affiliate sales.

If you like working with people this is an excellent way to make money. If you are a good trainer this can be a great way to make money as well.

Ultimately it will still be up to the individual to take what you teach them and put it into action. However, you can develop a residual income business out of this as you get enough quality affiliates selling underneath you.
