Hi everyone,
I wanted to post here really quick and tell everyone here who is an affiliate for other products that are promoted online.
You can not do this.
You can not promote products that pay you only ONCE. You have got to find products that can pay you a residual or recurring type of commissions.
This is a *BIG* factor you need to consider before you join ANY affiliate program.
If you are not promoting products that pay you not once, but on a monthly basis, you are missing out on BIG commissions.
Tal

Tal,
Aren't most of the recurring commissions in the IM niche?

from what I have found that is true of you want to tackle the extremely competetive niche of IM or WAH stuff.
I choose to pick less competitive niches for now.

Well talfighel,i don't think that rule applies all the time.Most times,the one time commission programs are easy to convert and once a buyer cancels his subscription;the residual commissions stop coming.Going by your theory,that means promoting amazon products is a waste of time.Is it?

I do both! I make a good income from the one time sales. It depends on the product. If it's a problem that will always be around and you have information to fix it that never fails, well that over and over one time sale is pretty stable.

I agree with RobininCarolina,
I do both and have great success. I never think
that you should "put all of your eggs in one
basket".
What if the residual income program you are
promoting closes down. Than you have to start
all over again.

Yes, most of them are. I am not sure which other niches have this. If anyone can share this with the rest of us here, let us know.

There are a few Niches that I know of with residual payments, There is the Green Niche or environment. It gets good traffic but very fickle buyers.
Health niche has loads of them both tangible and electronic products. Ever heard of mosquito patches?
There are a Lot of software ones too, like anti-virus, reg cleaners etc.
I have also recently seen one in the Television niche that pays on monthly basis. Small commissions though.
The best way to get Monthly paying commissions is to use a product that is either subscription based or is consumable so needs replacing. A Big hello to my MLM friends at this point.
Remember though you will get drop outs so you still need to find newbies coming in to cover them and also add growth.
Great advice Tal, I think back to all the single sales that could have been more, I probably would be typing this from Hamilton island or something.
Thanks for the advice and I hope my 2 cents is value for money.

I would say the most important thing is to build a list in your niche. That way, they are a customer for life and will buy from you until they decide to stop.
Recurring commission products are great, but they can be limited at times. Stick to building a list and feed them with QUALITY information so that when you ask for the sale, it'll be a no-brainer.
