EPC Update: Week 4 of the Public Build

Not financial advice. Verify claims independently.

The earnings-per-click numbers from the live affiliate experiment — what the data says now.

Four weeks of live EPC data on the Stock Picks affiliate program:

  • Overall EPC: trending ~$0.40-0.60 per click — respectable for a free product
  • Best content: earnings-timing posts (Micron preview, weekly calendar coverage) — 2-3x baseline EPC
  • Worst content: generic "what is affiliate marketing" — near-zero EPC, wrong audience
  • The surprise: blog posts outconvert social posts 3:1 on EPC despite lower traffic — intent beats volume

The EPC tells you which content to write more of. Right now it's saying: write the earnings calendar, rank the tools, and let the case study sell itself.

Put it into practice

The live case study continues on Stock Picks

Rehearse the funnel risk-free — paper trading that converts because the product earns the click.
