Question 1

An affiliate promotes a SaaS product with a recurring 30% commission on a $99/month subscription. A customer stays subscribed for 18 months. What is the affiliate's total lifetime commission from this customer?

Accepted Answer

$534.60

Answer

$99 × 30% = $29.70 per month × 18 months = $534.60 total lifetime commission.

Question 2

What is the main advantage of promoting evergreen content niches over trend-based niches in affiliate marketing?

Accepted Answer

Evergreen niches generate consistent traffic and commissions year-round without seasonal volatility

Answer

Evergreen niches address perennial needs, providing stable search demand and income rather than spikes followed by drops.

Question 3

Which metric should an affiliate prioritize when assessing whether to scale ad spend on a paid traffic campaign?

Accepted Answer

Return on ad spend (ROAS)

Answer

ROAS (commission revenue ÷ ad spend) directly measures whether a paid campaign is profitable enough to justify scaling.

Question 4

What is 'cookie stuffing' and why is it prohibited?

Accepted Answer

Dropping affiliate cookies on users' browsers without their knowledge or consent to claim fraudulent commissions

Answer

Cookie stuffing fraudulently attributes sales to an affiliate who never genuinely referred the customer, violating program terms and FTC regulations.

Question 5

An affiliate tests two versions of a call-to-action button: 'Buy Now' vs. 'See Current Price.' Which outcome would justify switching to the second version?

Accepted Answer

The second version achieves a statistically significantly higher conversion rate

Answer

A statistically significant lift in conversion rate is the only reliable indicator that a CTA change actually improves affiliate revenue.
