What is cryptocurrency affiliate marketing?
Cryptocurrency affiliate marketing is the process of profiting from differences in the prices of certain assets. Crypto affiliate marketing is a popular way to profit from differences in the value of assets in a particular trading pair on different platforms or markets. The term “trading pair” refers to 2 specific assets, one of which can be exchanged on the exchange for the other and vice versa.
Rates in such pairs may not be the same on different exchanges. In this case, a trader can exchange, for example, bitcoin for dollars at one crypto exchange at one rate, and then at a more favorable rate to make a reverse exchange and benefit, earning a certain amount of money on the transaction.
This scheme is considered to be the simplest. Traders usually use more complex exchange options, in which a certain cryptocurrency is exchanged for others several times, and then make a reverse exchange, receiving a financial benefit.
Currently, there are many cryptocurrency exchanges operating, and their number is constantly increasing. If five years ago there were just over four hundred crypto exchanges registered, last year their number exceeded one thousand. Prices on different exchanges are always slightly different. Therefore, traders are constantly busy searching for these differences. Performing it manually is too long and tedious. For this purpose, they usually use bots or use special scanners.
What types and strategies of affiliate marketing exist?
Affiliate marketing can be intra-exchange (if a trader makes transactions on one exchange), inter-exchange, and international.
Intra-exchange affiliate marketing is possible when there are different prices for certain assets in different parts of the same crypto exchange. Some crypto exchanges have P2P platforms. On them, crypto trading is carried out directly between users who post ads with offers to buy or sell cryptocurrency.
In inter-exchange affiliate marketing, a trader buys crypto on one crypto exchange at a low price and sells it on another at a higher price. Prices are not the same on different exchanges due to less activity on smaller exchanges than larger ones.
There are also 5 popular affiliate marketing strategies:
- Inter-exchange affiliate marketing on centralized venues. This strategy is most often used by beginners, buying crypto on one platform and selling it on another.
- “Triangular” classic affiliate marketing on centralized platforms. In this case, take advantage of the divergence in the cost of three different types of crypto on the same crypto exchange.
