Quick answers: this article in FAQ form
- Q: What's the biggest difference between RevShare and CPA?
- A: CPA is the instant model — a fixed payout (up to $250) per conversion. RevShare is the asset model — every time a trader you referred trades, you keep earning. For beginners and small-scale affiliates, RevShare's stacking recurring revenue is the better fit.
- Q: How many referrals do you need to actually earn from RevShare?
- A: It's less about the number of people and more about the active rate. Even 5 FTDs/month for 3 months (15 active traders) can generate steady monthly revenue if those traders keep trading. Quality referrals stacked over time beat chasing massive volume.
A Quick Refresher on How RevShare Works
RevShare (Revenue Share) is a model where every time a trader you referred trades on OlympTrade, up to 80% of the spread is paid to you as affiliate revenue. Unlike CPA's "fixed amount per conversion," RevShare keeps stacking up as long as your referred traders keep trading.
Some programs include "negative carryover," where losses from months when traders were profitable (and the broker was in the red) are deducted from the next month's payouts. Check Kingfin's official site for the latest rules.
Benefit #1: Revenue Stacks From Your Very First Referral
Some CPA programs come with quotas like "no payout unless you hit X conversions per month." RevShare has no such strings attached. Just one active trader is enough to start generating weekly and monthly revenue.
Even from a small blog or an X account with few followers, if you can convert one quality trader with a thoughtful piece of content, the revenue stacking begins from there. This is the moment the myth — "you need a big audience to earn" — falls apart.
Benefit #2: One Referral, Ongoing Revenue — the "Set It and Forget It" Effect
A trader you converted via a piece you wrote six months ago, still trading every week today? That article is still generating revenue right now. If CPA is "wages for work" (earned one conversion at a time), RevShare is "fruit from an asset" — past effort still paying you today.
While you're on vacation, or during a week where you can't carve out time for your side hustle, the revenue from past active referrals keeps adding up. This is RevShare's biggest draw.
Benefit #3: No Quotas, No Deadlines — Mental Breathing Room
There's no "I have to close X people by month-end" pressure with RevShare. Even on weeks when your main job is intense, you can keep working at your own pace.
That mental breathing room is what makes long-term consistency possible — and consistency is RevShare's most powerful weapon. Publishing one or two carefully written pieces a week for three months creates a far bigger long-term gap than rushing out lower-quality content in a panic.
A Realistic Earnings Simulation (Small-Scale Model)
The numbers below are for reference only. Actual revenue varies significantly based on trader volume and active rate.
- Cumulative FTDs after 12 months: 60 traders
- Assuming a 50% active rate: 30 active traders
- Assuming ~$20 average monthly RevShare per trader: $600/month
- *Results vary by individual; this figure is not guaranteed.
You don't need massive traffic to make RevShare work. By carefully referring traders who'll keep trading — even in small numbers — the view a year from now looks very different.

Sign up freeCritical: How to Refer in a Way That Boosts the Active Rate
Even when you get an FTD, if the trader doesn't trade after depositing, no RevShare is generated. To boost the active rate, the key is content that explains "what to do after the deposit". Walk readers through OlympTrade's demo account, the flow of the first trade, the basics of risk management — when you cover these inside your referral content, retention goes up.
