Frequently Asked Questions
What's a good commission rate?
Good commission rates vary by industry. Digital products often offer 30-50%, physical products 5-15%, and services 15-30%. Consider the total earning potential, not just the percentage.
Should I focus on high commission rates or high volume?
Balance both factors. A lower commission rate with higher sales volume might earn more than a high commission rate with few sales. Consider conversion rates and traffic potential.
How do I maximize commission earnings?
Focus on high-converting offers, build targeted traffic, optimize content for conversions, and take advantage of bonus tiers and special promotions.
