The Hybrid Model — Best of Both Worlds
The hybrid model combines an upfront CPA payment with ongoing revenue share. You get immediate income when a trader signs up, plus lifetime recurring income from their trading activity.
Example: $300 CPA + 15% revenue share. Refer 10 traders → get $3,000 immediately + ~$500-1,500/month in ongoing IB commissions. After 12 months, your total earnings from those 10 traders would be $3,000 + $6,000-$18,000 = $9,000-$21,000.
