Today's lesson: the $90 he almost lost to a tracking gap

Today's lesson: the $90 he almost lost to a tracking gap

New here? A quick story about checking your numbers. An affiliate had 30 customers but his dashboard only showed commission for the first month each — no rebills.

1. He expected ~$90/mo recurring (30 × $3) but saw it drop to near zero after month 1.
2. He emailed support: his account was set to 'first payment only,' not 'recurring.'
3. One settings change later, the monthly rebill commissions started showing — $90/mo restored.

He'd been earning recurring on paper but not collecting it for two months.

In plain English: some programs default to one-time payouts even on subscriptions — you have to confirm 'recurring' is switched on.

Try today: log into your program and check whether your commission is set to 'recurring' or 'first payment only.' This one setting is worth real money.
