Earnings are estimates from published sources. Difficulty is our rating: needs some basic skills, setup or patience.
The basics
What it is and how it works
Join as a publisher, get approved by advertisers, place tracking links/creatives, earn CPA/CPS commissions when conversions track.
Where the money comes from
How the model works
- Companies reward new customers
- You share your personal link
- You both earn a bonus when it's used
Honest numbers
What you could realistically earn
Varies by niche and traffic. No universal rate — each advertiser sets commissions. Useful backbone for a side-hustle discovery site's outbound links.
