HOW TO MAXIMISE THE PAYOUT
1
Join 2–3 networks first — AWIN, CJ & Impact unlock thousands of brands with one application each.
2
Lean into travel & luxury — a single hotel, yacht or designer sale dwarfs a hundred small ones.
3
Stack recurring & per-lead — insurance and finance pay €30–150 a pop; some pay every renewal.
4
Stay ranking-blind & disclosed — trust is the asset that keeps all of it earning for years.
SIGN-UP PLAYBOOK · BE EARNING ON DAY ONE
Get approved before you launch where you can, so the moment you go live every click can already earn. Some networks approve you with just a basic site or even a “coming soon” page; the big retail brands review you only once your site is live with real content.
① HAVE THESE READY BEFORE YOU APPLY
A live domain (truetotalcalculator.com) — even a “coming soon” pageBusiness name + email on the domain (hello@truetotalcalculator.com)Tax/VAT number (sole trader is fine)Bank + Wise account for payoutsPrivacy policy & affiliate-disclosure pageA short description of your site & traffic planW-8BEN-E form (for US networks)Logo + one-line “about” for your profile
② Join NOW — before launch
Skimlinks / Sovrn
Approves with a basic site — auto-converts links. Easiest first yes.
eBay Partner Network
Lenient approval; live almost immediately.
AliExpress Portals
Fast self-serve sign-up, no traffic minimum.
Travel: Discover Cars, GetYourGuide, Trip.com
Approve early; high per-booking payouts ready for launch.
AWIN / CJ / Impact (apply early)
One application each unlocks thousands of brands — submit before launch so brand approvals start.
③ Join once your site is LIVE
Amazon Associates
Needs a live site with content + 3 sales in 180 days to stay in.
Booking.com (via CJ/Partnerize)
Reviews your live site before approving.
Big retail (Currys, Nike, Zalando…)
Approve once they can see a live, relevant site.
Luxury & real estate referrals
Often a manual partner chat — start once you have traffic to show.
Tip: approval can take a few days to two weeks — apply early. Many programs need their tracking links live and a privacy/affiliate-disclosure page (you already have one) before they approve.
Cookie window = how long after a click you still earn if they buy (longer = more chances). When you get paid = the network’s payout schedule after a sale clears. They’re different things.

Real 4K product images — where they come from
Every program marked “image feed” supplies official, high-resolution product photos you’re licensed to display when you join — via product datafeeds or APIs (Amazon PA-API, AWIN/CJ datafeeds, Impact catalogues). The live engine pulls each listing’s real image straight from that feed at display time. We don’t host the photos ourselves and can’t embed copyrighted images into a mockup — but the search cards are built image-ready, so the moment a feed is connected, real 4K product shots replace the placeholder tiles automatically.
WHEN YOU GET PAID · COMMISSION TIMING
A sale is first tracked, then validated (the return/cancellation window passes), then paid on the network’s schedule once you clear its minimum. Travel & big-ticket referrals pay after the trip is taken or the sale completes — not at the click.

Luxury & property referrals
On completion of sale
Per deal — lump sum
Invoice / bank
Rough rule of thumb: most first commissions land ~30–90 days after the sale clears. Travel can be longer (paid after the stay); luxury & property referrals pay on completion, sometimes months later but in big lump sums.
Indicative rates. Commission percentages, cookie windows and terms change often and vary by region, sub-category and your traffic — these are ballpark figures to plan with. Confirm the live terms when you apply; many programs require an active site and approve manually. Always disclose affiliate links and keep them ranking-blind.
