Earning Money Automatically Month After Month
Earning Money Automatically Month After Month There are a lot of people online promoting other people's products or service through an affiliate program. I do and it helps create a nice side income to my other projects. There is one aspect to affiliate program promotion however that is so obvious, it slips by a lot of people. They don't give it much thought when deciding which program to join. Here's the problem: With a typical program, a customer is referred by you (through an affiliate link) and then you profit. Nice and simple. One referral, one commission.

You simply wait for the next customer to order through your link to earn your next commission.
Keep Those Commissions Coming
Why settle for a one shot deal when you don't have to? I have learned from experience that a recurring commission affiliate program is the way to go.

Its REALLY nice getting an affiliate check month after month from the same referral...

Basically this means that for as long as someone remains a customer with the site your referred them to, you will receive your commission each and every time they reorder.
Real World Examples
Example #1 - Me Receiving Recurring Commissions I have been receiving recurring commissions from some sites for over a year now. Month after month I have received credit for customers I sent them a year ago. Do you think this makes me want to promote that service more? You bet it does! Every month I get a reminder as to my efforts.
Example #2 - Me Giving Recurring Commissions When setting up the affiliate program for the Small Business Web Site, an important issue for me was to be able offer a recurring commission. I realize that as much marketing as I can do, I would never be able to get the word out about this site. One of the best ways to encourage people to help out is to offer them a chance to share in the success of this site. The way I look at it, people can benefit from being part of a subscription site (mine) without having to worry about anything to do with running the site. They simply refer customers to me and then profit for as long as the customer stays subscribed. Since the affiliate program was recently launched, it has already shown some excellent results. One particular affiliate managed to send 2 subscribers the very first day of joining. She will now receive money from me each and every month. To make it even easier, I directly pay her via paypal so she gets the money instantly. It is a win/win situation for both of us. If you haven't done so already, you may want to sign up for our affiliate program. There is no cost and of course, the commissions are recurring. Believe me when I tell you that I would be more than happy to send you money! Month after month.
Why Settle?
From now on, I am going to focus on promoting recurring affiliate programs whenever possible. Of course the "perfect fit" product or service that you may want to promote might not have a recurring affiliate program. Sometimes you have no choice and have to "settle" for less. For me though, whenever possible I am going to focus on recurring programs only. Automatic money month after month. It just makes sense to me.
