What this doesn't catch
- Affiliate platform fees (~10-20% on some networks).
- Time investment (content creation, email follow-ups, support).
- Cookie windows — Amazon 24 hours, most networks 30-90 days.
- Most affiliate traffic needs 6-12 months to mature; early ROAS often <1.0.
- Refunds + chargebacks reduce realized commission ~5-15%.
