Performance Incentive

    Hi all,

    I wanted to verify performance incentives. When an advertiser has this feature available, does it only apply on a monthly basis?

    For example below:

    Performance Incentive For Total Sales Amount equal to or greater than $1,000.00 USD increase commission to 11.00% per action.

    For Total Sales Amount equal to or greater than $5,000.00 USD increase commission to 12.00% per action.

    For 11%, would I have to achieve 1K in a given month for the rest of my commisions to be altered to 11% for that month only, or will I be able to achieve 11% commissions for all commissions from this advertiser after I have reached 1K in commissions in any time frame?

    Hope this makes sence

    Thanks

    Same question here, I just cleared the monthly minimum to hit a performance incentive. Will I see my commissions go up retroactively? Is it only future commissions? Or do I just receive a bonus check at the end of the month?

    Incentive payments can seem a bit confusing at first. But they really aren't.

    Lets say that you've signed up for a program that pays $1.00 per lead with a 10% performance incentive when you reach 100 or more leads in a month.

    In January you generate 94 leads. In Feburary you'll receive $94.00 as payment.

    In February you hit 150 leads. In March you'll receive $150.00 as payment. However as you've reached the incentive threshold you qualify for the 10% performance incentive. That money will be included in your April payment with what you've earned in March. The 10% applies to all leads you generated in February for the affiliate program.

    When March comes, you start all over again. $1.00 per lead with a 10% bonus if you hit 100 or more leads.

    I hope this answered your question.
