Residual Income Affiliate Programs

Just what are residual income affiliate programs and how do they differ from the one time affiliate sale? Residual income programs are an excellent way to build a steady monthly income online.

Many affiliates, just concentrate on selling products that their customers purchase one time. There is nothing wrong with that, but if you want to see your monthly affiliate income grow, than you should add residual programs to what you market to your visitors.

Residual income affiliate program's work like this: Instead of there being a one time price, your customers are required to pay for the rights to use the product or service every month. This works to your advantage as an affiliate. You receive a commission every month for as long as the person uses the service.

For example, if you sold a membership for an autoresponder, you would receive a monthly commission from that sale.

Residual income programs basically mean this to you as an affiliate: You do the work one time and get paid for life. Instead of "living or dying" by a single sale of a product or service.

Look at how profitable residual affiliate programs can be for you, over the long haul:

Let's just say that your monthly commission per sale is $25 for every person that you sign up. Over time you are capable of getting 100 people to sign up for the service or product.

You will be getting checks for $2,500 every month. You could stop marketing right there if you wanted to and you would still get that check every month.

That is why residual affiliate programs are so powerful for you. With the one time sale of a product or service, you constantly have to make sales in order to make money.

Now, we will look at the difference between the profit for a one time sale and the residual income program sale. There really is no competition between the 2.

If you made 100 sale of a one time commission product at a commission of $25, you would make the same amount of money at $2,500 profit. But that is where the profit ends for your one time sale.

Through the course of a year, you would earn $2,500 x 12months on the residual income commission.

You would make $30,000 through the course of the year from doing the work one time, with the residual income affiliate program.

So you can clearly see the difference between earning $2,500 from 100 sales and earning $30,000 from 100 sales.

The 2 great benefits of residual income affiliate programs are:

1. Do the work once and profit for life.
2. The ability to increase your affiliate income, with the same amount of work.
