Important
25% recurring is excellent for backup services. Multiple payout types (25% recurring, $15 bounty, $35 IT bonus) create flexibility. Quarterly payouts require persistent referral flow. $10 quarterly minimum is reasonable. IT business bonus targets niche but high-value segment.
Quarterly payout creates delayed gratification vs. monthly programs. $10 minimum (quarterly) means only $2.50/month average needed. PayPal required for international. US checks preferred but PayPal-only for international. Attribution window not published.
What you would be selling
A flexible, lifetime 25% recurring commission (plus flat bounties) on a mainstream cloud-backup brand across multiple products, paid quarterly.
IDrive is one brand with 3 products, bought by different people. What one converted customer is worth cannot be worked out for any of them: that needs a rate, a plan price and a commission window, and this program does not publish all three.
