CPA or Revshare: Which is better?
When signing up for a new forex affiliate programme, you'll have to choose between a cost per action (CPA) plan or a revenue share offer (Revshare). You want to earn as much money as possible, but which of these two options is the better one?
If you're going to advertise something, it better be something that pays well. Revshare is usually the best choice for long-term profitability.
Not all readers may be familiar with how CPA or Revshare work, so we'll explain what they do.
CPA (Cost Per Action) is a commission model in which you receive a certain amount for each trader you bring in. There may be certain restrictions, for example, that the trader must deposit money into his/her account within a 12-month period.
Revshare (Revenue share) is the typical "revenue for life" model, where you receive a percentage of the revenue made by the client you referred or of the company's revenue from this client. The second of these two Revshare scenarios is used in our affiliate programme. The affiliate receives from 40% up to 60% of the company's gross revenue for each trader the affiliate brings in. For example, if you attract seven qualified traders in a given month who brought the company a gross revenue of $15,000, your revenue would be 50% * $15,000= $7,500.
Here are some recommendations from our experience for when you have to decide between CPA and Revshare:
Choose Revshare if you have good initiatives and want to make money in the long run. Revshare is definitely the best choice if you want to earn the most money.
Choose CPA if you can get your readers to deposit money into their forex account early on. If you want to make money fast and care more about earning right now rather than a year from now, this is the option for you. You'll make less money overall than with a revenue-sharing offer, but you can make more money in the short term.
Let's say you attract a trader who generates $300 in CPA commissions for you in a given month. If you use the Revshare option, you may not make money the first month, but over the course of a year, you could make $10,000 or more. Revshare is usually the best option.
Our affiliate programme has some restrictions on choosing the cooperation type. For example, only affiliates who use online recruiting methods are eligible to use the CPA plan. For example, if you have your own website, blog, social media group, YouTube channel or if you do online traffic arbitrage. If you are an experienced trader and have friends or an interested audience, you might only be able to work with us on a Revshare plan.
This is how the Revshare plan has fewer limitations.
Your goal should be to make as much money as possible, and you'll be well rewarded if you have a long-term business strategy.
