What are Tier Affiliates and Commission chains?
A commission chain is where you earn a series of commissions as a result of affiliates recruited either directly, or indirectly from your affiliate link.

Tier 1 affiliates are those that sign up as a result of clicking through your personal affiliate link, they will forever be connected to your commission chain. You will receive 10% of any sale made via their affiliate link.

Tier 2 affiliates are those that sign up as a result of clicking through your Tier 1's affiliate link, they will forever be connected to your commission chain. You will receive 5% of the total sale made via their affiliate link.

Does my commission get shared with others?
Nope. All commissions are based on percentages of the total sale made!

For example if there's a sale of $100; $35 would go to the Level 2 affiliate, $10 to the affiliate above them (affiliate Dad), and $5 would go to the affiliate above both of them (affiliate Grandpa).

So basically, there will only ever be 3 people affiliated with any sale. That's a total payout of 55% from conceptstart.
