Affiliate Program Commissions - The Higher the Better

A nice way to tell if the affiliate program you belong to is serious simply about their affiliate program commissions is the percentage they are paying you. If causal agency is offering you 10% commission, and they are keeping the rest, then you need to ask yourself "Should I actually be in this affiliate program?".
An affiliate program I have recently joined called ‘E-Book Marketing Explained’, pays out 45% commission to their affiliates and another 10% to the 2nd tier. That’s 55%! They only support 45% and it’s from this that they take their costs. Either they’ve gone altogether mad or they are really smart! I suspect they are really smart.
By paying such high affiliate program commissions they are attracting many an affiliates to their programs. This means they can sell a higher volume. With a higher volume of sales they can afford to give away such a high commission.
Because they are giving so more away to their affiliates with high commissions it shows they are supremely confident in the worth of their product or service and its ability to sell itself. Their product or service is that good.
The affiliates are doing all the pre-selling, all the hard work, effort the eyeballs at their web sites. You want to get paid for it. Do not accept 10% commission rates. Set yourself a standard of nothing less than 20% and do sure that the 20% is more than simply a couple of dollars.
It is with the big-percentage payers wherever
you can do some decent commissions. The 40%-plus hitters. These BIG affiliate program commissions are the ones that wish see your bank balance explode each and every month.
