BlogCPA — Cost Per Acquisition
- Immediate income — get paid per referral
- Predictable — know exactly how much per referral
- No trader risk — paid regardless of trader success
- Income stops — if you stop referring, income stops
- Flat growth — income doesn't compound

High-traffic websites, paid advertising campaigns, affiliates who need immediate cash flow
IB — Revenue Share
- Lifetime income — earn as long as traders are active
- Compounding — income grows as trader base grows
- Passive — earn even when you stop referring
- Slow start — takes months to build significant income
- Trader dependent — income varies with trading activity
Best for:
Content creators, SEO-focused affiliates, IB networks, long-term passive income seekers
The Hybrid Model — Best of Both Worlds
The hybrid model combines an upfront CPA payment with ongoing revenue share. You get immediate income when a trader signs up, plus lifetime recurring income from their trading activity.
Example: $300 CPA + 15% revenue share. Refer 10 traders → get $3,000 immediately + ~$500-1,500/month in ongoing IB commissions. After 12 months, your total earnings from those 10 traders would be $3,000 + $6,000-$18,000 = $9,000-$21,000.
