I really need advice, let me explain.

I`m advertising an affilate program where people need to download an app , and register on it.

My setup right now is making me money but I am wondering if I`m leaving alot of money on the table. You see what I have been doing is having people fill out a registration form on my site so that I can hit them up later with offers and then they go to a thank you page where they are supposed to download the app and use my referral code to register on the app.

My problem here is that if 100 people fill out my registration form it seems that only 25 people actually download the app and register with the company I`m getting paid from. Should I skip my registration form and just give people what they really wanted and thats the download link and information on how to register the app or should i just count my blessings and leave everything alone?
 
Not a bad idea to use a micro task website and get people to download and register. However, most affilate programs do not encourage this, so you need to be tactful while doing so (blackhat method of affilate marketing).

Honestly, it’s all about finding the balance between collecting leads and not scaring people off with extra steps.

Right now, your form is great for building a list you can monetize later, but yeah that extra step is probably why only about 25% actually download the app.

Here’s what I’d do:
  • Test a direct link. Send some traffic straight to the app without the form and see if your earnings per click go up.
  • Try a two-step flow. Let them click the download button first, then ask for their email to get the referral code or a “bonus guide.” Feels less like a wall, more like added value.
  • Sweeten the deal. Make the form sound like they’re getting something extra like tips, a guide, or even a reminder link.
  • Follow up better. If you’re collecting emails, hit them with a quick follow-up to remind them to download. A lot of people just forget.

If your email list is actually making you extra cash later, keep the form. But if it’s not, you might be leaving money on the table by making them jump through that hoop. Testing will tell you for sure.

You might be losing conversions because people drop off when they have to fill out two forms. Testing a direct link to the app with your referral and comparing it against your current setup could show which works better, sometimes a simple A/B split test gives the real answer.

You’re likely losing conversions with the extra registration step. Skipping the form and sending people directly to the download link with your referral code will probably increase app sign-ups and overall earnings. You can still capture emails later with optional incentives, but don’t make it a barrier to the main action.
 
You should test direct link for a couple of days to see if your conversions increase. If there is no change, then it could be the network shaving your conversions. In case if the users prefer direct link, you can try to collect leads through other methods like offering them freebies or discounts.
 
Try this different way and test it, let's see if the results will be better or not. Without testing, you will never know

By the way, that affiliate program sounds pretty solid, mind sharing it? Would love to check it out and maybe join too.
I appreciate the help and will start testing right away.
