It is really very simple, the more sales you make at your top paying affiliate program, the more money you will make.

However many an affiliate are not aware of the fact that a lot more sales can be made through referrals than an individual can ever hope to make on their own from any top paying program.

For example if you can manage only 1000 sign ups in the second tier of your top paying affiliate program, the potential sales this huge group can achieve are quite high. Especially if you have joined one of those fabulous programs where they give affiliates extensive tips and tools to help them sell. Within these 1,000 persons who will have signed up under you, there will be those who will hardly make any sales at all. Then there will be those who will make lots of sales. Let us just say that you end up with only one sale, on average per person every month from the lot. In the top paying affiliate program where I am using this sales strategy so effectively that would mean an income of $15,000 every month. That's not a bad income for doing nothing after you've put in the initial effort to get your sign ups.

This is but a glimpse of the kind of sales you can achieve with a proper strategy, from your top paying affiliate program.
