Getting started
What is affiliate marketing?
Affiliate marketing is when a publisher promotes a company's products and earns a commission for each sale or action they refer. Read our beginner's guide.
Do I need a website?
No. Many affiliates use YouTube, social media, newsletters, podcasts or apps. A website gives you more control and is often required by stricter programs, but it is not essential to start.
How long does it take to earn money?
Usually months rather than weeks. Building an audience takes time, and commissions often have validation periods of 30–90 days before they are paid.
How many programs should I join?
Start with one or two that fit your niche well. Too many accounts spread your earnings across many payout thresholds.
Payments & commissions
What is a minimum payout?
The balance you must reach before a network sends you a payment. Lower thresholds help new affiliates get paid sooner.
Which payout method is best?
It depends on your country and currency. See our payout methods comparison.
Why was my commission reversed?
Common reasons are returned orders, cancelled sign-ups, invalid leads or traffic that breaks program rules. Ask the network for the reason.
What does EPC mean?
Earnings per click: total commission divided by clicks. It is the best single figure for comparing offers. Try our calculator.
Services
How do I order a service?
Click "Order" on the services page or select the service in the contact form. We reply within two working days to confirm scope, timing and price.
Do you guarantee results?
No. We provide research, analysis and recommendations based on experience, but income and rankings depend on many factors outside anyone's control.
Is your compliance review legal advice?
No. It is a practical review against common disclosure expectations and program terms. For legal advice, consult a qualified lawyer.
