Some days ago I discovered that eToro, a relatively new Forex broker with some exciting and new ways to trade on the foreign exchange, has an extremely high paying affiliate program. Their program is listed via Commission Junction and they pay $100 per lead!

First of all, eToro is a platform that enables you to trade currency pairs on the Forex market. I’ve already written about the huge money making potential from doing Forex several months ago, take a look at my introduction to Forex and some helpful resources. What makes eToro so special is the way they deal with trading the market. Unlike many major brokers which provide full blown analysis and statistic tools that help you making a trade, eToro offers a dead simple software where everybody is able to trade the Forex in a funny, amusing and easy way, which doesn’t mean they are not professional! You may download their software and open a free demo account to see what it looks like, simply follow my link (no, I won’t get paid any money if you only use the free version) and try it out.

Really interesting is the fact that they pay you, as an affiliate, $100 for new users that fund their (real) account on eToro. Funding an account with real money is easy, the minimum you need is only $50 plus you’ll get a 50% bonus of up to $200 for your first deposit (e.g. if you fund it with $400). After you’ve added funds, you’re immediately able to trade the Forex market with real hard cash (but be careful that you’ll also face a high risk unless you don’t have any experience with it).

eToro looks like a good program to make some nice affiliate commissions from. Because you get paid for every new user that adds a minimum of only $50 in their accounts, chances are quit good to make some money with their affiliate program. There isn’t such a huge barrier for new users and it gets even better because of the 50% bonus, it’s likely that a person interested in Forex trading will effort that amount.

Right now I’ve place a banner in my blog’s header and so far I got only clicks but haven’t earned any commission. I have a CTR (Click Through Rate) of around 2% and that shows me that at least some people have an interest in eToro. Anyway, I will leave it their for some more time to see how it will perform or not (yes I know that I’m actually not exactly in the Forex niche with my blog…).

Should be all for now.

See you,
