Networks get chosen on the rate in the offer description, and money gets lost on everything else. Eight things to establish before your first campaign.
What to ask
- Payout frequency. Weekly and monthly are different working-capital needs.
- Minimum withdrawal. A high threshold at small volume means you will not see money soon.
- Withdrawal methods. Check yours exists before you earn.
- Hold. How long your money sits with them.
- Approval rate. For confirmed-action offers, what share actually gets confirmed.
- Traffic rules. Which sources are banned and what happens if you break them.
- Your manager. Is there a human, and how fast do they reply.
- Statistics. Real time, or once a day.
Three reasons to walk away
No reviews older than a year. Networks open and close, and they close holding unpaid balances.
A manager promising above the public rate before you send anything. That happens when volume is needed at any cost.
Opaque statistics. If you cannot see what happens to your conversions, you cannot tell bad traffic from shaving.
