Hey everyone, hope you're all doing well.

I wanted to share my journey so far as a Forex Introducing Broker (IB) and see if you guys have any advice for me.

Here's my basic funnel:

  1. Ads: I'm running Facebook ads to generate leads.
  2. Lead Capture: I redirect the traffic to a Telegram channel.
  3. Nurturing: Inside the Telegram channel, I warm up the leads and build trust, guiding them toward my VIP community.
  4. Conversion: To get into the VIP Discord community, they need to register and make a deposit with the broker I recommend.
  5. Commission: That's how I earn my commissions.
I'm heavily focused on my ad strategy and also creating long-form content on YouTube, like 20-30 minute tutorial videos.

Inside the Discord community, I provide value through signals, educational lessons, open chat rooms, and much more.

I started about a month ago and I've already seen my first results, which is exciting! However, I'm really looking for ways to scale faster.

Does anyone here have tips that could help me out? I'm new to the Forex affiliate space (I used to be in the iGaming and binary options affiliate markets). I see a lot of people, especially in the US, making serious money as Forex affiliates (and honestly, about 90% of them aren't even trading themselves—they're just promoting brokers or prop firms).

Any insights would be greatly appreciated

Regarding my YouTube channel, the metrics have been pretty solid so far. I'm posting videos every single day to boost user engagement and build a loyal audience.

My long-term vision is to scale up, reinvest the earnings into better equipment—like a high-quality camera and a lapel mic—and start creating vlogs. The goal is to blend lifestyle content, motivation, and trading, which I believe is a powerful way to attract cold leads into the Forex world and funnel them into my community.

Being from Brazil adds an extra layer of challenge. The Forex market here is much more niche and restricted compared to the rest of the world. My ultimate plan is to break through this local bubble, establish a strong presence, and then start scaling properly.

I'm open to any and all suggestions—be it on funnel optimization, content strategy for a Brazilian audience, or scaling tactics. Thanks in advance for the help

Weekly and Monthly Update – October Progress​


This week’s results are in, and I’m happy to share that we’ve managed to surpass October’s goal of $400 in profit, closing the month (so far) at $453.77. That’s a solid step forward and a good sign that the project is moving in the right direction.


I’ve noticed some metrics improving while others have slightly dropped — conversion rates are holding steady, and trading volume has grown significantly compared to previous months. Even though there are still fluctuations week to week, the overall monthly trend is positive.


My next target is set: $600 for November. It’s ambitious but realistic if the current momentum continues. I’m also keeping my long-term goal in sight — reaching $2,000 per month within the next 6 months.


As always, I’m open to any advice, strategies, or insights from those with more experience in this field. Every bit of feedback helps me optimize and grow faster.

Dude, what platform do you run on?
 
I'm from Brazil too, I'm working on OB, if you want we can exchange ideas and help each other.
 
Consistency in your ad creatives, optimizations of your events and setting the right campaign structures is one of the keys that can help you to achieve better results. Don't forget that you need to send your purchase events back to Meta. That will allow you to scale those ads way more properly and find your winning creatives while you'll be reducing your CPA's.

What I was looking at, as my funnel takes the lead to Telegram, is that I can't track the lead very well. However, I am developing a way to track all the leads that have actually entered my database.
 

Update on My Forex Affiliate Journey: Progress, Pivots & A New European Funnel!​

Hey everyone,
Just wanted to drop a quick update on my forex affiliate journey. It's been a grind, but I'm starting to see some real, tangible results that I'm pretty excited about. I've been tracking everything meticulously, and it's crazy how a few small changes can make a difference.
Here's a snapshot of my numbers so far:
Overall Stats:
You can see the steady climb, especially that jump in October!
What's Been Working Lately:
I decided to shake things up with my Telegram channel. Instead of just occasional updates, I started sending out more trading signals and really trying to provide value. It's made the channel feel more alive and, honestly, the engagement and trust have gone up. I'm also constantly testing new ad creatives to see what sticks. It's a process of trial and error, but it's paying off.
My Next Big Goal:
Right now, I'm sitting at 47 active leads. My next major milestone is to hit 100 active leads. My theory is this: once I have a solid base of 100 people, I'll have a bit more financial breathing room to really level up my content.
The plan after that is to dive deep into personal branding—think lifestyle content, vlogs, and showing the real person behind the signals. I believe that's the key to "popping the bubble" and reaching a wider audience. But for now, I'm keeping my head down and focusing on hitting that 100-lead target.
A New Experiment: Europe!
Another big move I just made: I created a separate funnel tailored for the European market. The ads have been running for just three days, so it's super early. No active leads from there yet, but I'm watching it like a hawk. I'll be sure to keep you all posted on how that develops. Fingers crossed!
The journey continues! Thanks for all the support and advice from this community. Onwards and upwards
Cheers

Alright, a quick little update because I'm feeling really pumped about how this month has started!

We're only a few days into November, and we've already cracked the $100 mark. My big, ambitious goal for this entire month is to hit $1,000 in revenue, and starting this strong has me seriously motivated.

The strategy for this push? I'm planning to scale up my Facebook Ads tonight. I've been running them at about $20 per day, but seeing the positive results this week has given me the confidence to double down. The plan is to bump that budget up to around $40-45 daily. It feels like the right moment to press the accelerator.

Of course, scaling the ads means I now have to double down on the content side of things. My focus for the next few weeks will be heavily on creating fresh, new ad creatives to keep my cost-per-lead as efficient as possible. I also need to ramp up the value I'm providing inside my Telegram channel and, more importantly, inside my VIP community.

For those who missed it, I grant access to a private VIP community for every lead who registers through my affiliate link. The whole idea here is to create a tighter-knit group, engage on a deeper level, and really build a strong, long-term relationship with everyone. That's the key to a good LTV (Lifetime Value), and that's what makes a business truly sustainable long-term.

I'm genuinely confident about this month's potential. If this growth continues, this could very well flip from being a solid side project to my main source of income. It's a crazy thought, but it feels within reach.

It all circles back to what I said at the very beginning of this journey: my ultimate vision is to become the most well-known forex trader in all of Brazil. I truly believe that by building that level of authority and trust, attracting leads will become a natural byproduct.

The master plan, once the capital from this venture is a bit more consistent, is to go all-in on personal branding content. We're talking vlogs showing the lifestyle, real trading lessons, and a ton of bite-sized content for Reels, Shorts, and TikTok. It's all about creating a brand that resonates and inspires.

But for now, one step at a time. Let's crush this $1,000 goal for November. The grind continues!

Hi everyone, it’s been a while since I’ve posted here.

I switched platforms because the rebates weren’t as good on the one I was using; now I’m focusing on a different one.

The platform I used before was Exness. Unfortunately, I only made a total of $4,000 on it. Now I’m using another one that offers a decent rebate, and I’ll keep you updated.

Hi thanks for sharing and congratulations ! are you targetting worldwide?
 
Nice progress, man. ROI first, absolutely. Pick 1–2 best creatives, scale the budget on them, and drop the rest. Tweak landing pages and messages in small bets, don’t blow it with broad targeting. For Brazil, keep it simple and local— proof matters. If you can pull a better VIP/LTV flow, that’s where the real scale hides.
