Apple considerably reduces its referral and affiliate system

As many of you know, on the Internet it is possible to place a series of links that allow users to redirect to a specific content, generally online purchases or payment software. In exchange for publishing these links, users who do so would receive a small amount of the purchase as a "referral". However, it seems that Apple has less and less interest in this type of content, therefore has informed users that it will considerably reduce the percentage of commission that affiliates will receive for each of the purchases they make your referrals.

Thus, until now Apple was paying commissions of 7% of the total of each purchase to users who were subscribed to the affiliate program and published their links with referrals. However, this is all going to change considerably, as this commission will be reduced to well less than half, going down to a ridiculous 2,5% That can take away from many the desire to carry out this type of practice. Until now these affiliates could link to iTunes content such as movies and music, as well as books from the iBook Store and applications from the iOS App Store, not to mention of course Apple Music subscriptions.

And so it will continue to be, the affiliate program will not be affected in terms of services, simply the amount of money that promoters or affiliates receive will be considerably reduced. We do not know the cause that has motivated the Cupertino company to make this decision, perhaps they think that they need less and less of this type of promotion, and it is that if something is not lacking at all Apple is advertising. Nevertheless, some regular users of this system are going to see their income brutally reduced. Nor have they explained if the rate will really be updated to all affiliates, or only to those who join from now on, we will expand the information as soon as we have it.
