TIMELINE
Ongoing Partnership
An experienced paid traffic affiliate removed backend bottlenecks to unlock faster reinvestment and scalable global growth
Profile
Experienced forex affiliate running paid traffic across search, native, and social platforms.
Monthly ad spend: High five figures
Traffic: Global, with strong Tier-1 and Tier-2 GEO mix
Experience: Multiple years promoting forex and CFD offers
Challenge
Although profitable, working directly with brokers created three key limitations:
Monthly Net-15 payouts slowed reinvestment
Limited flexibility in backend offers reduced retention
Scaling was constrained by cash flow, not demand
Despite strong front-end performance, growth velocity was capped.
Strategy
Affiwise implemented a backend-optimised affiliate setup designed for speed, retention, and scalability.
Step 1 - Faster Payout Infrastructure
Affiwise enabled more frequent and predictable commission payouts, allowing Daniel to recycle capital into campaigns faster and scale without waiting on broker settlement cycles.
Step 2 - Plug-in Winning Trading Products
Instead of relying on a single broker offer, Affiwise introduced high-performing trading products that increased client engagement and retention after funding.
This lifted:
FTD-to-active user ratios
Repeat deposits
Overall lifetime value
Step 3 - Retention-Driven Scaling
By improving what users experienced after funding, Daniel was able to scale traffic more aggressively without degrading performance metrics.
Retention became a growth lever, not a bottleneck.
Step 4 - Volume Optimisation Across GEOs
Affiwise optimised routing and offers across multiple regions, ensuring traffic was always matched with the most effective broker for each GEO.
