How the second tier works

You refer someone who becomes a TemplateMonster affiliate. From then on, TemplateMonster pays you 5% connected to their activity, separately from the 30% you earn on your own referrals.

Worked example

Say an average TemplateMonster 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 $29 = $290 a month
  • Tier 2: 20 accounts through your recruits x $5 = $100 a month
  • Total: $390 a month

Pros

  • Tier 1 pays 30%.
  • A real second tier exists, which most creator tools do not offer.
  • 60 day cookie gives slow buyers time to convert.
  • Rates come from the program's own page.

Cons

  • One-off product sales, so no recurring revenue. Terms page states both tiers.
  • One-off payouts, no recurring revenue.

Who it fits

TemplateMonster suits you if your audience already needs website templates 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 30% first tier alone.
