Key points: frequently asked questions
- Q: Is it really possible to "earn in your sleep" with FX affiliate RevShare?
- A: Conceptually, yes. Because a trader you once referred keeps generating commission as long as they keep trading, an article you wrote in the past still produces income today. That said, the initial build-up requires consistent content creation, so it is more accurate to think of it not as fully "passive income" but as "a system where your past work keeps earning today."
- Q: How many referrals do I need before RevShare becomes stable income?
- A: At a 50% active rate, a benchmark is 5 FTDs per month over 12 months — 60 referrals total, leaving 30 active traders. If all 30 generate an average of $20/month in commission, that comes to $600/month (about ¥90,000). However, this is only a reference estimate; actual income varies widely depending on each trader's trading volume and active rate.
What "Asset-Style Income" Means in RevShare
RevShare (revenue share) is "asset-style income": commission keeps accruing as long as the traders you referred keep trading. Whereas CPA is "labor-style income" — you earn once per conversion — RevShare is "asset-style income," where a referral you made in the past still earns today.
- CPA (labor-style): refer → convert → get paid. To earn again, you need another referral.
- RevShare (asset-style): refer → convert → recurring payout. A referral from a year ago still generates commission every month.
The reason small affiliates can "earn without large-scale traffic" is precisely this asset-like nature of RevShare.
The Math That Lets Small Affiliates Win With RevShare
The following is purely a reference estimate. Actual income varies significantly depending on your individual situation.
- Cumulative FTDs after 12 months: 60 people
- Assuming a 50% active rate: 30 active traders
- Assuming an average of $20/month in RevShare per person: $600/month (about ¥90,000)
- * Results vary by individual; this figure is not guaranteed.
The figure of 5 FTDs per month is a realistic target you can reach even with 1,000 monthly blog pageviews and a 0.5% CVR. No large-scale traffic is required — that's the single biggest reason this suits small affiliates.
Key Metric: How to Refer in a Way That Raises Active Rate
Even when an FTD occurs, no RevShare commission is generated unless the trader actually trades after depositing. To raise your active rate, the key is "content that supports traders after they deposit."

Sign up freeWatch Out for Negative Carryover
In a month when a trader you referred turns a profit (a month when the broker side goes negative), your commission can go negative. This is called "negative carryover," and the negative amount is deducted from the following month's commission.
The countermeasure is to hold multiple active traders, which spreads the risk. Reducing your dependence on any single trader is the path to stable income.
A 4-Stage Funnel for Designing Content With the Long Term in Mind
To generate long-term income with RevShare, you need a funnel design that keeps traders trading after they deposit.
- Awareness articles: "What is OlympTrade?", "What is FX affiliate?" → attract new readers
- Comparison articles: "OlympTrade reviews", "comparisons with competitors" → resonate with readers in the consideration stage
- Referral articles: "How to earn with Kingfin affiliate" → lead to FTDs
- Post-deposit support articles: "How to use a demo account", "first-trade guide" → raise active rate
By assembling all four stages of the funnel, you increase the number of "traders who don't drop off after depositing," and your RevShare commission stabilizes over the long term.
