The Best Type of Affiliate Commissions For Ya

Saturday, January 14th, 2012 at 2:51 am

Are you getting affiliate commissions from a company and/or program you are involved with? The chances are that you are receiving a small portion of the sales you make. That portion is probably between 20-50%. Maybe you are one of the lucky ones who found a company or product that you receive up to 60% commissions from! I don’t know, but whatever the amount of commissions you get are, I’m sure it’s absolutely nothing to brag about!

The Many Different Affiliate Commissions.

The percentages that you receive as an affiliate are very different dependent upon what you are selling and how much the owner of the product is willing to pay you. Some businesses and owners seem to be a bit more generous than others. I must say that you CAN make a substantial amount of money with any of these programs and products regardless of the percentage of the commissions. It all depends on the amount of work you are willing to you put into it, but some will take more work than others. Let’s take a look at a few different examples of affiliate commissions from some online and offline commission based programs.

Affiliate Commissions through Amazon:

Now there is absolutely nothing wrong with being an affiliate for amazon! You can make some decent money coming from shoppers on the site if you know how to drive traffic. The only issue is that the affiliate commissions for promoting amazon products are fairly small. I’m talking 4% small! Now if you are selling a ton of products or some of the higher priced items, then yes, 4% can add up to somewhat of a substantial income for you. They do allow for affiliates to receive greater commissions on certain items but not much more than the 4% base affiliate commissions they pay out.

Clickbank Affiliate Commissions:

If you decide you want to sell products that are provided through the clickbank market, then you can make a bit more in terms of the percentage you take as an affiliate. The affiliate commissions from clickbank can vary greatly since the percentages paid out to affiliates are decided by the individual vendors. With that being said, you can get affiliate commissions as low as 1% to as high as 75%. A 75% commission on an affiliate product is very rare. In most cases you are going to be receiving anywhere between 20% to 30% in commissions earned. This is the average.

MLM Based Affiliate Commissions:

In the MLM/Network Marketing arena, again the commissions you’ll receive on average are around the 20-30% range. You may run into a few that pay upwards of 40 or 50% but it doesn’t really get much higher than that. The main difference between an MLM commission versus an affiliate commission through the likes of an Amazon or Clickbank is the ability to create residuals. There are some products on Clickbank that you can receive residuals from, but the preeminent part of a network marketing/mlm based income is the residual side of it.

The Best Affiliate Commissions Out There!

If you’ve been online for any extended period of time, then you would have noticed a couple of different things. You will have noticed that there are people who make a TON of money online and there are PLENTY of people looking to the internet to make a TON of money online. The people who you see that make a ton of money online all have one thing in common. They found out that it is ALWAYS best to promote something that you’ll get 100% commissions from! The problem with that is that there was never any product or program you could really sell and make all of the money. Doesn’t it just sound ridiculous? So these gurus took it upon themselves to develop their own valuable products to sell to the marketplace. This way they get ALL OF THE MONEY! Tell me what’s better than getting ALL OF THE MONEY. Absolutely nothing!

The issue is, most of us aren’t gurus. We don’t even know how to set up a blog yet alone try to create our own product. Well the good news is that you don’t have to! Finally something has come along that will provide you the ability to make 100% affiliate commissions on every product you sell. The catch is, in order for you to sell a specific product you have to actually own that product. Meaning you would have had to try the product out yourself. This makes for very ethical business practices. You wouldn’t want someone to recommend or try to sell you a certain product that they wouldn’t ever use themselves. Would you? Highly doubt it. With the Empower Network, online marketers finally can make affiliate commissions we can brag about!
