One of the main concerns about making money online with Affiliate Program is what happens when your referred Customer decides to makes a second order.

At that point, your Customer already knows of the Merchant website and will go direct to that merchant site without visiting your website or blog link?

Therefore, you need to read the payout plan of the Affiliate Program that you have joined to be aware of which program will actually yield you more income. That is why when you choose affiliate program, you should find those that are having commission on return sales / repeated orders too (to protect your efforts)

During the first time your customers buy, they are already on that merchant’s website to complete their transaction and remit payment.  Therefore when the customer decides to make a second purchase, or even if in some cases of customer renewing their online membership the second month, this customer do not need to click on to your affiliate link before reaching the merchant’s website.

You will also find some merchants that even offer lifetime commissions on reorders (but this is only tracked mostly based on client’s email so if client use NEW email to purchase, then you will not earn anymore commission).

By properly choosing the affiliate programs to join, you will definitely get to earn multiple sources of income for your website business too.
