Affiliate ads vs CPM links
Affiliate campaigns pay for outcomes; CPM links pay for attention. Which wins depends on audience scale and niche trust. The honest comparison - plus how to stack both.
The tradeoff table
- Affiliate wins: high-trust review audiences, 10k+ subscriber channels, purchase-intent niches.
- CPM links win: volume series audiences, daily-binge patterns, broadcast rhythm across WhatsApp and Telegram.
- Realistic stacking: recommendation posts (affiliate) alongside daily series posts (CPM links) in the same channel.
