Hello everybody! I’ve been in traffic arbitrage for over 8 years. In this review, I will tell you how to monetize the financial traffic and will share my practical experience. It will be a free lesson if you will learn the materials until the end, you spend your time with benefit.
Let’s start with the terminology to understand each other better. If you are no longer a beginner in traffic arbitrage, then go to the next level
So, here is the brief dictionary of the affiliate marketers:
Affiliate (referral) link — a personal link of the affiliate marketer with a unique identifier that will lead the user on the site of the affiliate program.
Affiliate marketer (webmaster) — a person that does affiliate marketing, i.e. the one who attracts the traffic on the sites and receives the percent from it.
RevShare (Revenue Share, “share of proceeds”) — a collaboration model that pays partners a certain percentage of ad revenue.
Holding period — a check-out period of the affiliate program, after which the webmaster can withdraw the money from the account.
Cookies — a user’s data that stays on the website history after he enters there.
Deposit — a sum of money that a trader puts on his trading account.
Vertical — a niche, group of offers with the same theme.
Offer — a good or service of the company that webmaster promotes.
There are three types of affiliate programs:
Unrestricted affiliate programs — the promotion of products and services is allowed in any advertising platform.
Demi-restricted affiliate programs — the offers of the affiliate programs are allowed in one advertising platform but prohibited on other ones, or prohibited under certain conditions (unsuitable creative).
Restricted affiliate programs — offers that are prohibited by the majority of the advertising platforms.
The unrestricted offers usually include such verticals as Nutra (health and beauty products), Software (various software, financial programs which includes vfxAlert), and also Gaming, Travel, etc. The popular offers from the demi-restricted niche are Gambling (online-casino), Betting (sports bets), binary options.
Some verticals such as “Dating” may be divided into 2 types, for example, Mainstream dating is the normal dating service that is related to the unrestricted niche, while Adult is dating for more intimate relationships and considered a “restricted” offer. Despite the fact that Nutra is an unrestricted vertical, if we are talking about any "enlargers", then such content is also prohibited.
In general, all that may be related to credit card fraud, medicines from incurable diseases, sale of the illicit goods that may threaten human life or health are considered “restricted” offers.
In this review, I will share my experience with two affiliate programs at the same time using one channel with financial traffic. I will tell how I’m making money with the affiliate program of binary options, in a bundle: signals for binary options + broker.
The main goal of the affiliate marketer is to motivate the trader to buy a professional subscription for the vfxAlert signals or the alerts in the Telegram bot.
vfxAlert is an application for traders. It includes all the instruments for the analysis of the binary options market that a trader needs. With the service, the user can forecast the success of the deal.
I will admit that the signals work with any broker and in any country. This is their beneficial feature. That’s why I chose it.
Also, it is necessary to understand that many affiliate programs include such a definition as the “partner’s status”. The more a partner brings in deposits, the higher his status, which affects the percentage of RevShare. In the affiliate program of vfxAlert, the percentage of payments doesn’t depend on the status, that is why you will receive your 70% RevShare in any case.
Opportunities of the affiliate program:
The Xoffers affiliate program doesn’t restrict the webmasters in GEO.
Another advantage of the vfxAlert affiliate program is the eternal cookies. This means that the data about the user attracted by you are saved and you will receive your 70% even if the purchase takes place after a year.
You can withdraw your money using the most popular electronic wallets: AdvCash, BTC, Ethereum, Payeer, QIWI, Yandex Money. I withdraw on Payeer cause this wallet has no commission.
How to work?
Step 1. Registration and authorization
Before registering, pay attention to the legal info, the affiliate program has requirements for traffic. This means that you can’t drive traffic from wherever you want to. Or if you will drive the restricted traffic, and there will be sales, then you simply may not be paid for them.
Step 2. Personal account
Enter your personal data in "Settings", be sure to fill in your payment details and save.
Step 3. Choose the advertising creatives
In the section “Promotional” you will find the advertising materials for the work. Well, I didn't need them, because my traffic is my subscribers on YouTube, but I will talk about it later...
Step 4. Follow your statistics
In the section “Statistic” you can follow your statistics in real-time. Always monitor the dynamics and delete/correct the non-working methods timely. I noticed that in the first 24 hours after the release of the promo there was no reaction, and then the next 3-4 days there was an increase in traffic. And then it subsides again.
Step 5. Monitor your payouts
In the section “Payouts” there is a history of your payouts. If you need summary information about your earnings for the half-year, you will find it there.
Step 6. Don’t hesitate to ask the questions
In the section “Contacts” you will find the contacts of our technical support. By the way, about support. It is really friendly here. I asked for help when I didn't yet understand which traffic works better. The manager explained everything to me in detail and also told me about eternal cookies, which I didn’t know about.
I chose IQ Option as the second affiliate program.
Reasons why I chose it:
good reviews on the internet,
threads on the forums with opened information,
competitions for affiliates,
TOP of partners (where I want to be).
IQ option platform is one of the most popular among binary options traders. It is available in 178 countries and supported by more than 7 million active users.
That’s why it’s very simple to promote the offer IQ option. Enter ahrefs.com and track the number of user queries.
IQ Option is the online platform that provides the user the place for trading and various instruments for analysis. The trader makes his deposit to the broker's account and starts trading.
In this case, the webmaster receives 50% of the broker's profit from clients' transactions made after he deposits.
Also, IQ Option Company helps the partners to promote the offer. In the personal account, you will find a large set of promo materials: landings, banners, logos, etc.

We have come close to the most important thing. How do I manage to make 120% on all these great things?
As I wrote at the beginning of my review, I have chosen the most profitable option for myself, a combination of signals + broker.
I have some experience in SEO and the promotion of YouTube videos. Firstly, I collected the semantic kernel and popular hashtags in the sphere of binary options, I used the instrument ahrefs.com. It has a trial period of just $7 per week and it provides aggregated data for all countries.
Using the collected data I create the video for YouTube and qualitative description with well-chosen popular hashtags. In my video, I just make bets on the demo account of IQ Option using the vfxAlert signals and show how much I could make on a real account for example in an hour.
Another popular thing is the training videos, where I show and explain the different strategies on the demo account and tell how news influences trading.
As the result, I have a YouTube channel where I speak about and teach binary options trading. I put the referral links to the broker in the description and signals if one of my viewers wants to try oneself as the trader.
Next is the most important thing !!! You need to distribute and promote the video so that as many users as possible would see it and follow the referral links from the description. For a trader who follows affiliate links from my channel, I receive 120% of his spending (70% RevenueShare from signals and 50% RevenueShare from a broker).
If after several times a user buys the alert pack for the Telegram bot (and there are a lot of them), I earn 70% on it again. The same thing is with the deposits. If the user deposits the funds to the broker's account a second time, then I earn a second time on this.
The main thing is the comprehensible video, perfect description, and qualitative communication with the subscribers. I answer all comments even the negative.
Use the bundle of two affiliate programs Xoffers and IQ Option Affiliate program. Offer the traders to secure their deposits by the vfxAlert signals and make money on two offers at the same time. Two affiliate programs don’t contradict but complete each other. Also, you can monetize the inactive traffic of the users that are already registered with the broker by offering them the analytical instrument for trading vfxAlert. Thus, you not only increase your income from two sources but also gain the loyalty of your subscribers.
