Residual income vs one time payment

4 replies
I am setting up an affiliate program for one of my clients.
They are a credit card merchant company.

The initial thought was to pay $75 for new accounts.
Of course the account needs to be verified and active for 30 days, Then the pay out would occur.

We are also thinking about putting out a $25 or $30 initial payout and then pay a residual for the life of the account.

These would be all over the board depending on facts such as how much the merchant was processing and or if they were new or established
But the target right now would be 10% of what my client makes for the life of the account

An account that was processing 3-4k a month could yield about $10 a month. But that is every month for the life of the account

We were also thinking once an affiliate gets X number of account to move this up to 12.5% or 15%

So the question is would you rather have a greater up front like $75 or $100 or the $25-$30 and then residual for the life of the account.
Also we are thinking of making payments every month or every 2 weeks thoughts on that.

Being an affiliate marketer as well as a web developer I like the idea of building as much passive income as possible. I would rather go with a little up-front and then residual
but that is my 2 cents.

    Hello

    I am all for residual... A one off fee can come in handy...

    You would have to assess as an affiliate is the customer likely to have the card more than 7 months? I recon so so I would say residual

        Go for residual because it will build you a stable long term income so even if things happen to get bad in your industry you will know you are getting for example 225 payments of X amount of dollars at the first of every month.

          Thanks for all your quick responses

          I am also setting this up so you can
          1) see when your leads are submitting forms
          - after they submit a form they get called with in 6 min if during business hours

          2) you can see when they get the merchant account

          3) after their account has passed the waiting period to make them available for payment

          4) when you get paid.

          For residuals you would see how much each client added to your residual payment

          Also when you hit the site with the affiliate link every phone on it will have your affiliate code which the operators ask for. So even phone orders get added to your account

          Any thoughts on any of this.
