When it comes to expanding our affiliate program, and therefore expanding our web presence, this is our most powerful program. Second-Tier Affiliates (STAs) are affiliates that joined our program because of a promotion from an existing affiliate. While this increases the potential lifesaving impact of MatchingDonors, it will also drastically increase the commissions of any affiliate that brings in STAs.

For every STA that an existing affiliate brings into our program, that affiliate will make 20% on any commission earned by any STA. With no limit on the amount of STAs you can add, that can translate into enormous earnings for you.
