Frequently Asked Questions

How quickly can we expect results from affiliate marketing?

Affiliate marketing typically shows initial results within 3-4 months, with more significant growth occurring after 6-12 months. The timeline depends on factors like your industry, product offering, commission structure, and existing brand recognition. We focus on both quick wins with established partners and building a sustainable long-term program that delivers consistent results.

How do you find the right affiliates for our business?

We use a multi-faceted approach to identify and recruit the right affiliates for your business. This includes competitive research to see who's promoting similar products, industry research to identify relevant content creators and influencers, network exploration to find partners with matching audience demographics, and proactive outreach to potential partners who align with your brand values and target audience. We prioritize quality over quantity, focusing on partners who can deliver meaningful results.

What commission structure works best for affiliate programs?

The optimal commission structure depends on your industry, profit margins, average order value, and business goals. We develop customized commission models that balance attractiveness to affiliates with profitability for your business. This might include percentage-based commissions, fixed amounts per sale, tiered structures that reward performance, hybrid models with bonuses, or even CPA models for specific actions. We continuously test and refine the commission structure to maximize results.

How do you prevent affiliate fraud?

We implement comprehensive fraud prevention measures including careful partner vetting, clear program terms and conditions, monitoring for suspicious activity patterns, implementing cookie policies that prevent commission stacking, using advanced tracking technology to identify fraudulent transactions, and regular program audits.
