In case you don’t know, an affiliate program is a system where somebody can refer new buyers to you. The reason they would do this is because you give them a percentage, a commission of the total sale. So if you are selling a $20 e-book and you give 50% commission then when somebody refers a new customer to you, you keep $10 and give the remaining $10 to that affiliate who referred the new customer. That sounds great but should your monthly membership site offer a commission and should it offer commission one time or throughout the life of that subscriber?
We need to have affiliate program for many reasons and the big one is that it’s tough to get extra members after your initial launch. You’re probably working very hard diligently adding new content, rearranging the membership site, reminding people to come back and participate
