Affiliate marketing has been a highly profitable method of earning money online for many years. As we enter 2024, it's important to stay informed about the latest trends and offers that are generating huge profits for affiliate marketers.
In this article, we'll look at the top offers affiliate marketers are promoting in 2024, focusing on a real-life case study where one affiliate marketer made $496,883 in a single month.
In February 2024, the Affiliates Inner Circle mastermind group, a Telegram community of experienced affiliate marketers, engaged in a lively discussion about the most lucrative offers they were actively promoting. The group received over 200 responses from members sharing their current successes and insights.
Top offers in 2024
After analyzing the feedback from the affiliates in the mastermind group, several trends emerged, highlighting the most popular and profitable offers in the affiliate marketing landscape:
1. AI-related offers
With the ongoing growth of cryptocurrencies and the rapid progress of artificial intelligence, it's not surprising that affiliates are concentrating on these niches. Offers related to AI crypto trading bots, AI investing, AI-powered e-commerce solutions, and even AI adult offers are proving to be successful.
2. Supplement offers on TikTok
TikTok has become a dominant platform for affiliate marketers, especially in the supplement niche. Many affiliates are achieving success by promoting nutra products on this rapidly growing social media platform. We have shared several case studies on promoting supplement offers as a TikTok Shop affiliate. Please check them out in our recent post.
3. Blank credit card submit sweepstakes offers
One of the most prevalent and profitable offers mentioned in the mastermind group was blank credit card sweepstakes offers. These offers, which pay affiliates around $30 per conversion, were the most talked about and many affiliates in responded that they are converting highly at the moment.
Understanding blank credit card sweepstakes offers
Blank credit card submit sweepstakes offers are a variation of the traditional sweepstakes model. Instead of promoting a specific prize like an iPhone, affiliates have the flexibility to choose any popular product to attract users to sign up and provide their credit card details. The "blank" aspect allows affiliates to be creative with their product choices and marketing strategies, aligning with current market trends and consumer interests.
When a user submits their credit card information, the affiliate earns a commission for each successful conversion. The flexibility and high payouts associated with these offers have made them a preferred option for many affiliate marketers.
Case study: Generating $496,883 Profit in 1 month by promoting Blank Checkout CC Submit sweepstakes offers
To demonstrate the potential of blank credit card sweepstakes offers, let's dive into a case study shared by an affiliate marketer who generated $496,883 in profit in November 2023.
For this case study, the affiliate shared the total results of 3 of the best-performing offers his team scaled for the month of November 2023. It's important to note that while these numbers are not uncommon, the affiliate acknowledges it was a good month.
Before everything else, he would like to acknowledge that 2 huge factors played a role in their success:
- Leveraging the Black Friday hype
- Finding 4 winning angles that worked well
Please note that, as requested by the network, the affiliate could not disclose the affiliate network and the specific offers they advertised.

Offer
You may be familiar with the typical "iPhone sweepstakes," where you pay a small amount to enter and have a chance to win the iPhone. Blank checkouts are similar, but as the name suggests, the checkout is blank, allowing you to introduce any product/angle to persuade customers to make a purchase. (Note: Branded products are not allowed.) The payouts of these offers, depending on the geo, range from $35 to $49.
Angle
The affiliate says that when promoting Blank checkout CC submit offers, the angle you choose is crucial. It's pretty much similar to dropshipping. His team identifies trends (products) in the current market and test them. However, it's important to come up with a creative angle to convince customers to pay just a small amount.
Some ideas that have worked in the past include "clearance sale," "bankruptcy," "limited stock," and so on. It’s all about being creative.
Keep in mind that they are targeting people who had no intention of buying anything before seeing the ad. They are simply seeking dopamine on social media. Therefore, the focus is on impulse buyers. It's important to make the offer irresistible and create an angle users can't refuse.
Many people overthink this part, but the landing page doesn't need to be visually stunning or advanced; the goal is to get people to proceed to the checkout as quickly as possible (before time runs out).
He says that his team has different landing page templates for each product/niche. For example, clothing doesn't require an advanced landing page; a simple Shopify-style product page will do. However, other products may require more persuasion or work better with survey landers, spinning the wheel, or other "you are the winner!" sweepstakes funnels.
Ad creatives
The affiliate says that he prioritizes volume over quality when it comes to ad creatives. His team tests offers using only image ads since they offer cheaper clicks compared to video ads, allowing them to determine the offer’s potential. Once they find something with a high click-through rate (CTR) and even generate some conversions, they move to phase 2, where they find better ads for that offer. During this stage, they test both image and video ads and quickly scale the best-converting ads. In phase 3, they create custom ads using content found online or even produce their own ad creatives.
Geos
The affiliate says that most of the time, he chooses the US and FR to test angles and scale their campaigns. Why? Because these countries primarily use credit cards as the main payment method and offer the highest payouts.
Additionally, their large populations allow for massive scaling if something works. Later on, they test winning offers in smaller GEOs, such as IT, ZA, ES, and others.
Traffic source
The affiliate says that his primary traffic source is Facebook. This might trigger some affiliates, but he believes that Facebook is the best traffic source for sweepstakes.
While it’s true that using Facebook paid traffic for direct affiliate marketing may not include building a big email list or a "passive" SEO site that could be sold later. The affiliate says that he doesn't have time for those strategies. He wanted to make money quickly.
He also notes that Facebook's AI bots are becoming smarter, and they can detect when you're promoting sweepstakes. Therefore, it's important to use a good cloaking setup if you plan to scale your campaigns aggressively.

While scaling the campaigns, he says that his team works with over 20 ad accounts, and at scale, their average Cost Per Click for their ads is of $0.70-$1.
Final thoughts from the affiliate:
“Don't overthink it. It's not as difficult as it seems. 70% percent of the work is in the backend, setting up Facebook structures, cloaking systems, and building a small team. Once you figure that out, it's just plug-and-play. Build connections with networks, test extensively, and you'll reach your goals sooner than you think. I hope you found value in this small case study. Now go retire your parents!”
Conclusion
In 2024, it's pretty much clear that blank credit card submit sweepstakes offers are a highly profitable and popular choice among successful marketers. The reason is that they allow affiliates to be dynamic in their approach, and use different angles since the checkout is literally blank.
These offers are silently dominating, and are worth trying in 2024.
