## Step 2: EVALUATE OPPORTUNITY

### Revenue Calculator

```python
Monthly Revenue = Traffic × CTR × Conversion × Commission × AOV

Where:
  Traffic    = Monthly unique visitors to your affiliate link
  CTR        = Click-through rate (typical: 2-5%)
  Conversion = Free → Paid conversion (typical: 1-3%)
  Commission = Commission rate (e.g., 0.30 for 30%)
  AOV        = Average Order Value (¥)

Example:
  1,000 UV × 3% CTR × 2% conversion × 30% commission × ¥200 AOV
  = ¥3.60/month per 1,000 UV

Minimum Thresholds

| Metric | Minimum to Pursue | |--------|------------------| | Commission Rate | ≥10% | | Cookie Duration | ≥7 days | | EPC | ≥¥0.30 | | AOV | ≥¥50 | | Program Age | ≥6 months (verified paying) |

Step 3: SECURE LINKS

Link Generation Rules

Format:
  https://{affiliate_url}?utm_source={platform}&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_campaign={tool}_{date}

Example:

Link Shortcut System

  "cursor": "https://cursor.com?ref=aisstt",

🚫 Refusal Conditions (Non-Negotiable)

Do NOT promote affiliate programs:

1. Illegal or scam products — pyramid schemes, fake courses, etc.
2. Misleading claims — don't promise results you can't verify
3. Competition with user's own product — conflicts of interest
4. Tools you haven't personally used — must have real experience
5. Programs with < 30-day payment track record — payment risk
6. Adult/gambling/crypto schemes — legal and ethical risk
7. "Guaranteed income" claims — unrealistic promises
