How Performance Agencies are Discovering the EXACT Business Model to SCALE their incomes to 6, 7, or even 8-figures per year, WITHOUT clients and unscalable retainers
Why Agencies are Turning to the Performance Affiliate Marketing Business Model
Let’s face it. Running an agency is a GRIND and can absolutely SUCK.
Not only are you busting your @#$ to onboard new clients, but you’re also attempting to satisfy every whim and fancy of your current clients while generating scalable revenue for them, not for your own business.
Clients are leaving, onboarding takes ages, and clients end up paying a static retainer, where they obviously get the better end of the stick. That’s why it’s time you looked into performance affiliate marketing.
With performance affiliate marketing, you can:
- Earn uncapped commissions that aren’t tied to your client count
- Grow as fast as you want. No waiting to onboard clients or wait for client approval
- Set your own budget. You decide when to feed or douse the fire, not your clients
- Promote high-converting D2C products of your choice
And you’re not the first agency to give this a try. Successful agencies just like yours are turning to the performance affiliate business model: Maverick Media, Kendago, Rainy City Consulting, and Valher Media to name a few. Some of these are making 7 figures with performance affiliate marketing alone.

What is Performance Affiliate Marketing and How Does it Work?
Performance Affiliate Marketing is a tried-and-true business model that connects successful media buyers (like your agency) with folks who have a product or service to sell.
We’re not talking about being a coupon affiliate for 5%, or getting a measly 2% commission from an Amazon product sale or sharing a product link on social media.
Typically, the media buyer (you) will create a landing page for this product or service and then create ads on platforms like Facebook and YouTube to drive traffic to the page. Then, you get paid a 50-90% commission when people buy the product or service.
That’s it! No need to build a website, create lots of content, collect email addresses, or anything like that (unless you want to). You just run ads pointing to your landing page, include your affiliate tracking link there, and earn a commission every time someone goes to the brand’s pitch page and makes a purchase.
Here’s a quick graphic of what a performance affiliate marketing funnel typically looks like:

Ya, that funnel does seem a bit long and maybe even complicated. The good news is, you’re only in charge of the first 2 steps: the advertisement and the bridge page (landing page). The rest is the responsibility of the vendor/offer owner. Not bad, right?!
Successful media buyer affiliates will test different creatives until they find a winning combination of product, ad, and landing page – then, they’ll typically scale up in the same ad set or across duplicate ad sets to make 2:1 or more ROAS!
And the best part is, you can start making sales the same week you start promoting a product on ClickBank. Get started with a budget of just $2-5k for testing and optimizing your funnel, and scale as fast or slow as you want!
