Do you have subaffiliates - do they generate income?

[preditor]

Edited!

I have an idea and need to know if its worth my time and money to deplove it.
Its based on generating new affiliates, using subaffiliate links to varius casinos.

I cant explane my idea more than its only revenues would come from subaffiliating, bouth small as bigger affiliates.

Do you have experience of subaffiliating, if so, would you say there is money to make in it or not?

I self had 2-3 subaffiliates 10+ years ago. They made a few hundred € every month, but since time have changed and retroactive terms have removed thouse from my accounts, i really dont know if subaffiating works thease days

yes, sub aff is still a "thing" these days.
Seems all Income access software backends hide the subaffil links under the account profile section incidentally, [not under media etc, as you might think] - might save you some searching if you end up using software that uses IA .

Great, thanks for the hint!

 

[Moonlight Cat]

Yes

 

[KasinoKing]

Yes too!

I didn't deliberately market my sub-aff links to other people, but I have had a few appear out of the blue.
The best thing is, these guys are mostly MUCH better at this job than I am, so in most cases I earn more from the sub-affs than I get from my own efforts!

I used to have over 20, with 5 big ones in a UK program that decided to terminated everyone's contracts. I even linked pictures in another forum with over 136k GBP in commissions for 2 years. I too never promoted sub affiliate links or anything, but they popped up out of the blue and brought a healthy amount of money.

That however seems like a thing from the past. These days, webmasters rather get a link towards their website than a referral that may or may not ever make a single cent.

Personally I liked the sub-affiliate scheme more, as it gave the webmaster world a sense of community. It made it seems that if you are to help someone, they'd gladly sub and help you out as well. And it went around and around.

For me, it didn't work. I even have sites dedicated to affiliate marketing but had no luck ever signing up a subaffiliate that generates $.

The only time it worked was when I had personal connections to the subaffiliate - but for that I don't need a website.

I really appreciate all awnsers and inputs ya`ll all make!

More questions popping up in my head, have to think how to ask them without puting my idea and its blueprints all over the forum

Lets say i have a webbpage, where you read something interested about casinos (not a review / bonus etc) site and you see a link to a affiliate program you havent heard of. / its not a superaffiliate site ether.

Would you use that link (subaff) to sign up, or would you clear all the cookies and sign-up directly to the program?

Im just trying to figure out if your ok signing up via a desent good site, yet still not a specific super affiliate site?

Also, lets say you click yourself to a casino, via a affiliate tracker and then sign up for the aff program, do you care at all that you would become somebodys subaffiliate?

Im really sorry for the way i write my questions, just be patient with me - as anybody who have had an idea all of the sudden, the beginning is worst becouse cant really calm down

I've joined 50-60 programs over the last 20 years - and only half a dozen have stood the test of time.
So I prefer to promote a handful of good programs rather than join everyone and everything.

I've never promoted subaffiliation - but one program BetOnline at Commission.bz does show some for me (players I referred I guess).
The value is not much - around 5-10% of my commissions each month.

No - I would not randomly join an affiliate program just because I see it on another site.
I'd go through a lot of due diligence with both the program and other experienced affiliates.

So whether I'd click on your link at the time - and whether that cookie would stick - and whether your page mention would be worthy of referral payments would be interesting questions. My browser regularly clears cookies, so like most players these days you wouldn't get credit for it.

I never promoted them at all but years ago had picked up a small handful for SkyBet, we all know what happened there. Mine had obviously clicked through the player sign up link and the cookie stuck and tracked.
On a side note I used to about puke with pure cringeness on GPWA with especially Rick, always trying to grabs sub affiliates. Someone would ask about a program and within minutes he'd be there saying "i'll happily provide you with a link if needed" as if he was doing them a massive favour.

 

[PROFRBcom]

Never made any appreciable money off of sub affiliate referral systems.
We do have a couple of sub-affiliates that piggyback on our links to sign up players, and those are somewhat profitable, though a very minor portion of our income overall.
I would actually prefer to do it as I described, because the more volume through our links, the more negotiating power we ultimately gain

However, of the 2 dozen or so people I would guess we signed up as sub-affiliates, 20 of them produced literally nothing and were just time wasters. 2 produced nothing worth mentioning. 1 produced a few decent dollars at the time. 1 produces "well".

Thanks for all feedback and posts here, really interesting to know as much as possible of subaffiliating and dont worrie, im not going to push anybody to sign-up via me

I have now spent a few days on my "idea" and instead of just having it as 1 dancing braincell, i let my 3 other braincells join the party and started to deplove it.

This will take some time, and will cost a little bit but i belive i will have my expences covered by ether subaffiliating or just a paypal donation - button with labels "Like my work, buy me a coffee" - style

Yes and yes - networking pays off sometimes and the good thing about subaffiliates is that they're 100% passive income.
