Affiliate sales are a pretty small part of my business, but what I do 
is I have three different rates: I pay 50 percent on e-books, 25 
percent on printed books and speeches, and 10 percent on client work. 
The way I work this is with two different shopping carts, one to 
calculate the 25% sales and one to track the 50%. The client 
referrals are easy to track manually, as there's not a big stream of 
them.
