Not all commissions are the same. Understanding the three main types helps you pick programs that actually pay well. First, flat. You earn a fixed amount for each sale, no matter the price. Simple and predictable. Sell it, get your set fee. Second, percentage. You earn a share of the sale, so bigger orders mean bigger commissions. Great for higher-priced products. Third, and the favorite, recurring. You earn every month the customer stays. Common with software. One good referral can pay for years. One more thing to check: the cookie window. That's how long after a click a sale still counts as yours. Longer is better. Flat, percentage, recurring. When you know the difference, you can choose programs that keep paying, not just once.
