|---|---|---|---|---|
| Month 1 | 10/mo | $5,000 | $500 | $3,300 |
| Month 3 | 10/mo | $5,000 | $1,500 | $3,900 |
| Month 6 | 10/mo | $5,000 | $3,000 | $4,800 |
| Month 12 | 10/mo | $5,000 | $6,000 | $6,600 |

Key insight: CPA income stays flat each month, while IB income grows as your referred trader base accumulates. After month 10, IB typically overtakes CPA. The hybrid model provides the best balance of immediate and long-term income.
$100/day = $3,000/month. Here's how to achieve this with each model:
Refer 6 traders/month at $500 CPA = $3,000/mo. Focus on SEO content targeting "best forex brokers" keywords in Tier 1 countries.
Build a base of 60 active traders generating $50/month each = $3,000/mo recurring. Takes 6-12 months but income compounds.
Refer 5 traders/month ($300 CPA = $1,500) + growing IB base ($1,500/mo) = $3,000/mo. Fastest to reach target.
