Pay per signup (PPS)
PPS pays a fixed bounty each time a visitor becomes a paying member. The appeal is predictability: you know exactly what a conversion is worth, which makes it easy to calculate whether a paid campaign is profitable.
The limitation is that PPS pays once. However long that member stays subscribed, you never see another cent. PPS rewards volume and front-loads your income, but it caps your upside on loyal members.
Revenue share (revshare)
Revshare pays you a percentage of what your referred members actually spend, for as long as they stay subscribed. glowDOLLARS pays 50% on the first signup and 40% on every rebill thereafter.
The power of revshare is compounding. Each month you add new members on top of the ones still rebilling from previous months, so a steady stream of quality traffic builds a growing base of recurring income rather than resetting to zero.
- 50% of the first signup.
- 40% of every rebill, for the lifetime of the membership.
- Income that compounds as your active member base grows.
Hybrid and volume tiers
Hybrid deals blend a smaller upfront payment with ongoing revshare, smoothing cash flow while preserving lifetime upside. glowDOLLARS also considers volume bonuses case by case — high-volume affiliates can move from standard rates toward the top of the range as their traffic proves out.
If you're sending meaningful volume, it's worth a conversation. The right structure depends on your traffic's retention profile and how you'd rather balance upfront cash against long-term compounding.
Which model should you want?
If your traffic converts but churns fast, a fixed bounty can look attractive. If your traffic retains — people who genuinely want the content — revshare almost always wins over time because you keep earning long after the first sale.
Because glowDOLLARS content is exclusive and updated regularly, memberships tend to stick, which plays directly to the strengths of a lifetime revshare. Send traffic that wants to stay, and the 40% rebill keeps paying.
