What is a Forex Affiliate Program?
An affiliate program is a marketing strategy wherein an individual refers other people to a business for a financial reward. Affiliate marketing is usually done through banners, recommendations and other such marketing collateral. In forex trading, affiliates refer prospective traders to brokers that offer online forex platforms. The affiliate program works when a prospective trader clicks on a banner or link advertised by the affiliate marketer and goes on to register with the referred broker. In turn, the broker considers the trader as the client of the referring affiliate. An affiliate can be considered as a type of Introducing Broker (IB).
