Been looking into different affiliate setups lately and the commission structures are all over the place.
Some brokers offer decent CPA rates but their conversion sucks. Others have good rebate sharing but take forever to pay out.
What programs are actually worth the time investment right now?
Most programs pay between $200 and $800 for CPA. But the conversion rates tell the real story. A $300 CPA with 8% conversion beats a $600 CPA with 3% conversion. Look for brokers that pay rebates monthly, not just upfront bonuses. Ongoing revenue from active traders builds steady income. Payment timing is key. Programs that pay NET15 let you reinvest faster than NET45 ones. Check tracking systems too. Some lose attribution after cookies expire. Focus on brokers you’d recommend to real traders.
Revenue sharing models work better than CPA if you can actually drive quality traders who stick around.
The upfront money looks nice but getting 20% of spread revenue from active accounts adds up faster over time.
I avoid programs that require minimum payouts above $100 because cashflow matters more than waiting months to hit thresholds.
Check if they actually support their affiliates with marketing materials. Some programs leave you hanging with zero help.
