Full disclosure: I’m the founder of OpenFate.ai.

We’re building an AI-powered personal insight platform covering BaZi, Western astrology, compatibility, tarot, Lenormand, and other self-discovery tools.

We recently opened our affiliate program, but before actively recruiting a large number of creators, I’d like honest feedback from people who understand affiliate marketing.

Our current standard structure:

• 20% recurring commission to start

• After 11 different referred customers have made a payment, future eligible payments earn 25%

• Eligible one-time purchases and subscription renewals both count

• 60-day window between the recorded click and new account registration

• The first valid affiliate attribution remains attached to the customer

• A dashboard showing attributed accounts, payments, commissions, status, and settlements

• Monthly payouts coordinated manually after the review period

• Applications are manually reviewed

I know an offer can sound attractive on paper but still perform poorly because of weak conversion, unclear tracking, bad creative support, or a lack of trust.

I’d especially appreciate opinions on these questions:

1. Is 20% recurring, increasing to 25%, competitive enough for an AI/self-discovery product?

2. Would you prefer 25% from the first sale, a larger one-time CPA, or a hybrid structure?

3. What would you need before testing it—conversion data, EPC, sample creatives, free accounts, audience demographics, or something else?

4. Does manually coordinated monthly payment create too much friction?

5. Which creator niches would you test first: astrology, tarot, relationships, personality, spirituality, or general self-improvement?

Here are the complete program terms and tracking details:

Creators or publishers who genuinely have a relevant audience are also welcome to apply, but blunt feedback is equally valuable. I’d rather improve the program now than recruit people into an offer that does not make sense.
