Referring ECAs would be the most profitable. You gain a smaller commission, but you gain commissions on every sale the ECAs make, no matter who the PRMs are or who referred them. However, referring PRMs will bring larger commissions if they purchase items from TripleClicks. As long as they keep purchasing items, you will get those commissions.

It is wise to refer PRMs and ECAs, because you never know which will succeed.

In terms of figures alone, the key to appreciating the value of referring ECAs or PRMs lies in understanding the Compensation Plan:

If say your referred PRM buys a product which has 670 versa points (vp) and a commission volume (CV) of $50, then you will get 45% in CV or $22.50 and all the 670 versa points. On the other hand if your referred ECA makes sales worth $50, then you will get 10% in CV or $5. In addition you will also get an instant 100 versa points when your referred ECA generates

Hi, Allison,
Superb Question.

Indeed, promoting both PRMs and ECAs are both rewarding.
However, your measure of profitability on either of the two will, to a very large extent, depend on:--
1. The price(s) of the products that are being bought in each case.
2. The volumes (or turnover) of each product being bought from either platform.

For instance,
(a) If the price of a particular product is high, your own CV on that product will also be comparatively

Hi, in my opinion both are potential in earning profit. The difference between the two are as follows;
- with PRM you can provide them wide array of choices that they can buy so that you could earn commission, while with ECA they need to sell to earn royalties.
- PRM can easily acquired by placing ads referring friends, relatives colleagues and people in your circles or network. While, ECA need to apply and wait for approval from TripleClicks.
- PRM need to sign up and buy, ECA need

This will all depend on your marketing efforts. If you refer lots of ECA's then promote them, you may gain quite a few PRM's. However, in the end, it will depend on if and what your PRM's purchase.

On the ECA side, it will depend on how many PRM's you may refer while advertising their products. This will also be affected by how many other connections your ECA receives and their marketing activities.

All in all, I would concentrate on both. Both referrals can have the potential

Since this asks about what is "potentially more profitable," if you make the assumptions that every PRM buys the same dollar-value monthly and that every ECA successfully and consistently sells its products on a monthly basis, referring ECAs have more profitability because they can sell their profits to EVERY PRM out there. However, neither of those assumptions have any basis in reality. Neither of them address how easy or difficult it might be for you to refer customers or shop-owners,

These are interconnected vessels - PRMs are potential clients at ECAs! My opinion is that you should work for both - Promotion ECAs and their products, may attract attention and interest. Besides commissions that can win you have the chance to build a loyal and dedicated subsidiaries. They in turn will work for you and develop your business what better than this! For that you must work hard in both directions - PRMs / ECAs!

Definitely PRMs! Potential customers you increase your team / if it is an affiliate earn commission / and hence the credibility of your work!
Although the commission at ECAs is significantly higher, it is not certain that this customer will join your team. And you should pursue exactly this purpose - building a team ready to invest in their funds in upgrading and improving their status and business! SUCCESS!

Of course it depends in a way on what sort of ECA you promote, mostly what kind of products they sell, how big is their target group and how pricey are theip products. But taking it all into consideration, it is almost obvious that promoting an ECA can be more profitable than reffering a PRM, because as I see it they usually join based on one single thing that catches their interest at the moment.

I think that both are profitable, depending only from what kind of business you feel comfortable to promote: I think that if you have some thematic website for some products , it's more easy to promote ECAs that sells that kind of products. For example : if you have a blog about beauty, make-up and also a twitter account about that, you can choose 3-4 ECAs that sells this kind of products and promote their offers. If you don't have a website, is still easier to promote ECAs products,
