The quest to make money while you sleep

There are certainly some great benefits to being a forex affiliate.

Firstly, the compensation plan is significantly larger than most other affiliate programs. Compensation as a forex affiliate is typically based on a CPA (cost per action) or Revenue share model. In some cases the compensation is a combination of both of these, in which it is then called a hybrid commission. It is difficult to say which of these is a better seeing that it really depends on the quality of traffic that you bring in as an affiliate. If you are bringing in a lot of beginner traders that just want to try forex trading out then perhaps a higher CPA would be a better route and if you can bring in traders with more experience that make larger deposits then you will definitely want a higher revenue share. It is more difficult to find quality traders, however the rewards are huge if you bring in quality traders and have a revenue share plan. A revenue share plan provides many forex affiliates with a handsome passive income if built up properly over time. Don’t expect to get rich over night, however if you can bring in quality traffic over time, you will one day enjoy the feeling of waking up in the morning to a pleasant sight in your forex affiliate account.

Secondly, no staff, little to no overhead, no inventory, no renting or leasing of space, no customer service headaches, no cost of goods sold. That’s right, all the pain of owning a traditional business are gone as a forex affiliate. Now don’t get me wrong, there are still marketing costs and time investment required to being a forex affiliate, especially if you intend to use pay per click marketing campaigns. Paying to market through the search engines is a great place to start to get your affiliate business up and running quickly if you don’t yet have high traffic blogs or sites up and running. Over time your ultimate goal is to have a number of high traffic blogs or websites in which you generate forex leads through your forex banners.

Finally, the quest to make money while you sleep is not an easy one, but a forex affiliate program does offer you the capacity to do so over time. Thanks to the internet, with the right dedication to your websites or blogs you will reap the benefits that many people in the traditional working and business world would dream of.
