Commission plans for binary options
There are 2 main types of commissions associated with binary options although technically more commission plans exist.
- Recurring revenue share commission
- CPA commission
Obviously, you as an affiliate, would like to have recurring revenue share commission. This is why the page for recurring commission affiliate programs is one of the more popular listings. Sometimes the CPA deals can be generous but not if your traders are making active deposits. CPA of course stands for cost per acquisition and is typically a one time commission you earn if the referral makes a minimum deposit and has some type of activity to trigger a commission.
