1. What's New with the Program?

In the month of May we changed the commission structure and had a great response from our affiliates. May was one of the best months for our affiliate programs. Because of your success in May we have decided to change the commission structure to give you the opportunity to earn the 2nd and 3rd tier commission levels easier. We really appreciate all our affiliates that work hard at promoting OneGreatFamily.

The new commission structure will be as follows:

• 20% commission rate for 1-15 subscriptions
• 25% commission for 16-29 subscriptions
• 30% commission for 30+ subscriptions.
  
  The commission rates are based on the number of subscriptions sold in one month.

1. $1522

Don't forget to change the creative on your site frequently to catch your visitor's eyes.

4. Tip of the Month: Affiliate Mistakes

One of the questions I'm asked most often is, "How can I make more money with OneGreatFamily?"

Before I can begin to help somebody make more money, I usually have to help them to undo the many reasons why they are not making money.

There's a book from Chuck McCullough of AffiliateMatch.com that covers the top mistakes of affiliates. The title is: "Affiliate Mistakes: Maximizing Your Profits From Affiliate Programs!"

Generally, affiliate marketing books are written by "experts" that haven't actually done this stuff themselves. However Chuck has been on top of the affiliate marketing game for years, and his information is right on.

For instance, one of Chuck's Mistakes is "Trying To Promote Too Many Different Affiliate Programs." My conservative estimate is that 90% of new affiliates go this route.

This and other mistakes (and solutions) will get you headed in the right direction.
