I would love to hear/see some stats from marketers who have used a traditional 1 tier payout commission structure vs using a 2-tier structure.

Specifically, I'd like to know which one made the most money for both marketer and affiliate. Plus, which one is growing fastest?

Sometimes building the list is more important than profits.

Also, as far as paypal goes, you are MUCH better off NOT violating their rules regarding 2 tier payments. I personally know people who are now blacklisted by paypal through ignorance.

AND had to close down entire bank accounts and switch banks because of fear of PayPal going in and retroactively penalizing the marketer. To say it was ugly is an understatement and definitely not worth doing in my opinion.

Mike what do the JV people you work with (like Ewen Chia, Andrew Fox, Filsaime, etc..) prefer? And why?

Thanks Mike.
