I’ve been on it for a few months but commissions feel super low. Anyone actually making decent money or is it mostly a waste of time?
LTK can work, but for most publishers the effective EPC is weak unless you’re driving high-intent traffic to a tight set of retailers and stacking AOV (think “capsule wardrobe,” “wedding guest dresses,” “home refresh”)—otherwise you’ll feel the low rev-share and attribution losses vs. platforms with cleaner last-click credit. If you share your niche + monthly clicks and top 5 retailers, I can sanity-check your RPM/EPC and tell you whether to pivot to Skimlinks/Rakuten/Impact direct or restructure around higher-converting merchant mixes and longer-funnel content.
LTK can work, but in my testing it’s usually thin margins unless you’re driving high-volume fashion/home traffic or have creators already using LTK links. For most affiliates, the low EPC isn’t worth the effort compared to higher-payout bizz offers/SaaS. If you want better ROI, I’ve had stronger results with business/parental control offers via BizzOffers.
LTK is a volume game that works best when you pair shoppable images with SEO-optimized, long-form reviews to capture high-intent organic traffic. Focus on building domain authority to drive the massive scale needed for those lower commissions to become profitable.
