Physical products tend to pay less than digital ones: in general it’s around 1%-10% for physical products and 40-50% commission for digital products. But with high ticket affiliate marketing it’s a much better deal for affiliates, especially if the commission structure is right. A high ticket product can sell for several thousands and this means each sale gives you a much larger commission than most. Take a look at this product for example, the gyroscopic hammock:

The gyroscopic hammock is available on the site Hammacher Schlemmer, you can find it here. It retails at $14,500 and the affiliate program pays 8% commission on referrals. That’s $1,160 if you can make the referral.

Examples Of High Ticket Affiliate Marketing

But that’s just for starters! There’s many more other outlandish products you can promote as an affiliate. Take this for example:

This is the full-sized Porsche 917 replica that conceals a 1:32-scale working wooden slot car track replicating the Le Mans raceway. It sells for $125,000 and as an affiliate you can earn a cool $10,000 commission if you manage to sell one!

Or, how about this flying hovercraft which sells for $190,000 from the same site (Hammacher Schlemmer).

Here’s an electric vehicle you can sell for $21,975: The Street Legal Electric Moke

Or how about this electric jet powered surfboard:

Examples Of High Ticket Affiliate Marketing – Digital Products

Digital products are a good bet for affiliates too and typically pay a much larger percentage of the sale price. With your typical physical product, you can see what you’re getting quite clearly. But with a digital product the product can be more obscure. That’s why an affiliate selling a high ticket item such as an extensive online course (e.g. for $2500) would need to find, nurture and educate potential customers rather than going for the direct sale. 

This is usually done with a sales funnel and email follow up series which can be largely automated. Here’s a few high ticket online business coaching programs. They offer a range of services such as mentoring, one on one coaching and digital business setup and done for you systems.

As you can see from the commission structure, you can earn a larger proportion of the sale than you can from the sale of physical products. For the cheapest program (Ignite) for example, you can earn between 20% and 40% commission, depending on your positioning. Learn more about these products here, or click on the image below:

Subscription Products & Recurring Commissions

Another benefit of promoting a high ticket digital program like the one above is the recurring commissions you can earn from membership referrals. With recurring income products, you can even earn more, over time, than you could from a single sale of a high ticket product.

Let’s take the example of a high ticket item selling for $500 which pays 30% commission. You can earn a $150 commission on this sale. But it’s still a “one time” commission which you get paid only once. With a recurring monthly commission, you can ultimately earn a lot more from collecting subscription memberships. So even a $20 a month recurring income can give you a $160 payout over the course of 8 months.

Subscriptions add up too and once you’ve learned how to sell one membership product you can sell many more. Just 10 sales would give you a $200 a month income from a $20 a month commission; each and every month for the duration of your subscribers.

With a high value product members are more likely to maintain their membership for a longer period. Some products are needed for an online business to run. An example is Aweber, the autoresponder service. This pays out a recurring monthly income for referrals and since the product is vital for the operation of an online business, many customers will keep their membership for years.

Summary

There’s many advantages of using high ticket affiliate products and they are definitely a good idea for beginner affiliates especially. It can allow you to grow your business more quickly because you can more quickly get into positive cash flow.

With lower value products it’s more difficult using paid marketing and still coming out with a profit too. Paid marketing methods are far more scalable than free organic marketing methods such as blogging, for example, which can take a long time before you see the results of your efforts.
