You refer someone who becomes a Simplero affiliate. From then on, Simplero pays you 5% recurring (rate unclear on newer page) connected to their activity, separately from the 20 to 30% recurring you earn on your own referrals.
Worked example
Say an average Simplero plan is $97 a month. You refer 10 paying accounts yourself and recruit 5 affiliates who each refer 4 paying accounts.
Tier 1: 10 accounts x $24 = $240 a month
Tier 2: 20 accounts through your recruits x $5 = $100 a month
Total: $340 a month, repeating while those accounts stay active

Pros
Tier 1 pays 20 to 30% recurring.
A real second tier exists, which most tools do not offer.
Commissions repeat while the account stays active.
180 day cookie gives slow buyers time to convert.
Rates come from the program's own page.
Cons
Simplero's older and newer partner pages disagree on the second-tier rate. Confirm before you build on it.
Who it fits
Simplero suits you if your audience already needs course/membership software and you can show the product in use. The second tier only matters if you also reach other
affiliates, through a course, a community or a newsletter about making money online. If
you never recruit affiliates, judge this program on its first tier alone.
