Affiliate programs are largely known for paying out a commission on each sale an affiliate directs to the merchant. A potentially lucrative off-shoot of the run of the mill affiliate program are residual income affiliate programs. The red-headed step child of affiliate marketing is largely by-passed by affiliates, because of a lower commission level. Residual income affiliate programs offer a low commission on each sale per customer, but the affiliate that referred the customer receives life-time commission on each customer they referred. Over time you are likely to collect more money from a return customer then you would for a one-time sale. Next time you see a program that offers life-time commission, take a deep look because it could be the perfect program for you.
