A multi tier affiliate program is one which offers its members the opportunity to earn commissions from the sales made by their referrals. It’s a similar strategy to some network marketing business models. It allows you to multiply your efforts and rewards far beyond what you can do only by yourself.
With a multi tier affiliate program, there is an incentive to help those you have referred to a program; since doing do will also be financially rewarding when they succeed. So, it’s good for to join multi tier affiliate programs for a couple of reasons:
- You can earn from sales made by your referrals, (when they start making sales through the same program).
- Your sponsor in the company (the affiliate who referred you) is more motivated to help you succeed than with a standard affiliate program which doesn’t offer multi-tier commissions.
Your “sponsor” isn’t, of course, obliged to help you succeed online with a multi tier affiliate program. But doing so will help their business grow.
Multi-Tier Affiliate Program – The SFM
The SFM Mentors (Six Figure Mentors) is an affiliate program and online education community which helps people build online businesses. The SFM offers a multi-tier commission structure on their product range if you partner with them as a DEA (Digital Experts Academy) partner member. The image below shows the commission structure at the very top level of business membership (partner level).
You’ll also be able to earn commissions on sales made by your referred members. When your referrals start making sales (using the SFM digital business system), you’ll earn $10 per month on a standard membership and 10% of the high ticket products. See below:
Of course the multi tier affiliate program is only available at the top of the business model. Joining at this level requires a substantial investment. However, you can also benefit from commissions on high ticket products even without joining as a partner member.
At a basic membership level (See Six Figure Mentors Cost), you can benefit from sales of products ranging up to $20,000. See the breakdown of commissions you can earn as a basic SFM member below.
Recurring Commissions & High Ticket Products
Even without the multi tier commissions, and at a lower “buy-in” level, you can still benefit from a few huge benefits of joining the SFM.
The SFM business model has a number of advantaged over a basic affiliate product which only offers one commission opportunity:
- High ticket products – Join the SFM at Elite level and benefit from high ticket product sales and 40% commission.
- Recurring commissions – even at a basic membership level, you can benefit from recurring commissions through SFM’s digital product range. You can also earn 5% on some of the higher level products (and 40% at partner level)
- A product range – having a product range and a built in sales team means you can focus on just your front end marketing efforts and leave the high value sales to the team.
- Digital products – many affiliate still promote physical products. Physical products pay out the least amount for affiliates – usually 3-11%, compared to digital products which pay up to 101% commissions. (See image above All In One Package)
Other Benefits Of A High Ticket Multi-Tier Affiliate Program
With a sales funnel which contains multi tier products, high value digital items and pays out large commissions, affiliates have much more scope for using paid marketing. With low valued physical products, affiliates will find it much more difficult to use paid marketing and still make a profit. In many cases, they’ll have to use free marketing strategies which are slow and time consuming.
But with paid marketing you can get traction with an online business quite quickly. You can also scale up much more easily with a paid marketing strategy. In terms of timescale of building a profitable online business with paid marketing compared to organic content marketing there’s a huge difference. See how long does it take to make money with affiliate marketing.
With a multi-tier program you can also benefit from many affiliates working on your behalf. Once you’ve built a team of affiliates and helped them succeed online, you’ll be able to earn a passive income from your previous efforts!
