However, our settings also allow you to send the first push notification after a certain time — not right away after a subscription.
When is this setting necessary, and what does it change?
Basically, ProPush was created for:
The last group is actually the one that needs delayed push notifications most of all — and actively tests and uses it on their landing pages.
While the first two groups can easily go with the following flow:
Our partners who care about the offers’ conversions often prefer this one, with the first push delayed:
When your main aim is to make your affiliate marketing offer convert, you want to keep your CR as high as possible. And ProPush allows you to do so: it almost never affects your offer, with only a slight CR decrease of 1%-2% sometimes.
Still, some affiliate marketers don’t want to see their CR falling down even this little. And to avoid it, we always suggest making a delay before your users see the first push.
It usually works out: users have enough time to interact with your main offer and convert before the first push notification may distract them.
Here is an example: one of our partners, an owner of the Utility app, wanted users to download his app first and also get some extra profit from push notifications. After he set ProPush Smart Tag, he noticed that the offer CR became about 3% lower than before.
The delayed first push fixed the issue: as a result, our partner got almost 2 mln conversions for his app and also earned more than 12k from ProPush.
Some affiliate marketers, however, work with a delayed first push from the very beginning. For example, this partner who set a delay immediately has never seen his CR falling down.
Here are his regular stats, if you were curious:
To set a delayed push notification, please, contact us at support@propush.me. This setting is only available via a manager and is not in your dashboard.
If you want to test a particular delay time, please, let us know — or we will give you recommendations depending on your case.
However, our tests show that the optimal delay time is one hour after subscription.
After you set your first push with a delay, you might see a decrease in your First Impression rates. However, it won’t significantly affect your overall earnings.
As you see, ProPush does its best to meet your needs, whatever goals you have. So, you don’t risk anything if you try it out!

That is why, we decided to prepare a guide about two models we have at ProPush - CPS and RevShare - and help you cover all the gaps in your understanding.
What is the difference? How do they work and which one to choose? What are the pros and cons of each? For dessert, we have some stats to see how CPS and RevShare work in practice.
CPS (Cost per Subscriber) is a very simple payment model. The principle is as follows:
Users subscribe to push notifications > you get money for each new user
In this model, you get money for each subscribed person once after they accept the opt-in request. So, one unique subscriber on your website or landing - one payment.
To check the prices for each GEO, just go to your dashboard and open the Rates tab on the left.
Please note that this model is not available for newcomers - you can only use it after rolling your offer for a while.
At ProPush.me, you can apply for CPS if you gather 5000+ subscriptions daily during at least 3-5 days. After you achieve this, we evaluate your traffic quality and open access to a CPS model if your traffic meets our quality standards.
Why so?
You need an advanced set up guided by a personal manager to get maximum profit. However, with small traffic volumes it is almost impossible to get precise statistics - the data amount is just not enough. That is why CPS is an advanced option at ProPush.
RevShare (Revenue Share) is efficient in the long run:
Users subscribe > users interact with your offer or just stay subscribed > you get paid during all of their subscription time
In RevShare, your income depends on the quality of your leads, and you continue getting money until they unsubscribe. RevShare rewards patient affiliates - you get income regularly and constantly.
At ProPush.me, we pay for every 1000 push notifications delivered to subscribers you brought. We expect that your subscribers will stay, and this will bring you money. Yes, all you need is to grow your base, engage people, and keep them subscribed.
So, you might be thinking how much freedom you have with the pricing models we offer. We answer - you have absolute freedom! You can work with CPS only, RevShare only, or combine both - everything depends on your expectations and income goals.
For example, if you are ready to wait for a while until you start getting income (sometimes, it takes a couple of months), you can rely on RevShare. However, if you want money here and now - CPS is a better choice.
Combining these models is also an option. Say, you can get immediate money on CPS, which might work as a safety pillow and an additional source of further investments in RevShare. You can invent any income strategy and we don’t restrict your experiments.
To make things maximally clear, we have prepared some statistics for a dessert. See how the stats look with RevShare:
And with CPS:
As you can see, both models are equally efficient and profitable, so choosing between RevShare and CPS is an easy thing - mistakes are impossible. Technically, you never lose anything, no matter which one you choose. What is more - you can work with both. Rely on your needs, expectations, and budget flexibility!

Still, you need to prepare for your monetization — and choosing the right hosting is one of the important steps. Why does it matter so much and how to arrange it all wisely?
Let’s straighten it out.
Even the best landing page won’t help you earn money if it takes forever to open it. And what if it stops loading at all? The same is true for publishers who are striving to monetize their websites.
These are the issues you can easily avoid if you pick the right hosting provider. Hosting is responsible for your website or landing page's quick and stable work — it’s like a house footing.
A hosting server you use for your site or page must be capable to manage all incoming traffic, and all user requests — 24/7. Any mistakes, delays, or activity breaks may result in losing users: they will barely visit your page again to check if you fixed the issues.
Imagine how much converting traffic you can lose with an error like this?
So how to find the provider you can trust and shall you pay for it?
There are several types of hostings — we’ll look at them in detail a bit later. For now, let’s speak about the two largest groups: free and paid hostings.
We know it’s tempting to save money, especially when you, say, run a very expensive advertising campaign. However, we don’t recommend you save exactly on hosting.
What’s the difference between a paid and a free provider? Look at the table:
| Free Hosting | Paid Hosting |
| -Has many content restrictions -Can be heavily packed with ads | -Works much faster than the free hosting -Doesn’t contain ads |
Let us explain it a bit. Maintaining a hosting server for rent is a pretty expensive business. Here is what a hosting provider shall have:
So, as you can guess, it all costs significant amounts of money. Too significant to do it for charity! This is why all free providers show their ads on pages located at their hostings.
Will your pre-lander for collecting subscribers be really efficient if it’s already full of banners? Will your website stay so user-friendly with a great deal of ads you can’t control?
Besides, a free hosting service will never provide you with such stable and quick work as a paid one can. What is more, you can’t host just any site on a free server: many of them block eCommerce shops, or sales landing pages.
And, by the way, you are not guaranteed that the free hosting service doesn’t have any hidden fees.
This is why ProPush.me accepts websites and landing pages located only on paid hostings. No exceptions!
Okay, you are ready to pay for a server, but it’s still unclear which one to choose. We won’t consider literally all hosting types here: just the ones that will best suit your needs as a website owner or an affiliate marketer.
As the name suggests, dedicated hosting will serve exclusively your website. In simple words, it means you rent a special place for your site and will never share it with anyone else — just like if you rented a house.
Obviously, it’s the most reliable way to ensure quick work and manage large volumes of traffic. Still, you don’t really need it that much if you are an affiliate marketer with a pretty simple landing page.
Another type is the opposite: you share the hosting with the other website owners. Getting back to simple terms, it’s like renting a space in a shopping mall.
Such hosting has particular limitations but will be enough if you have a plain site or a landing page that doesn’t require many resources. It can easily handle about 3k visitors per day.
VPS, or a Virtual Private Server, is something in between Shared and Dedicated hosting.
In a nutshell, it’s also shared hosting, but you have a special private space here — like a fence that protects you from a sudden neighbor’s visit. The other websites using the same server won’t interfere with your processes like they can at shared hosting, and usually allows bigger traffic volumes and higher loading speeds.
You can rent a hosting anywhere — but choose the location wisely.
Suppose you want to run traffic from Brazil, but your server is physically located somewhere in Germany. It will take more time to load your site in this case, so the closer your server is to your users, the quicker your site or landing page will work.
You have two ways of how to deal with a hosting location:
So, as you know your needs, finding the right hosting is not a trouble anymore. But probably you wanted some more straightforward recommendations? Okay, we got them!
Just a little bit more of a theory to sum up — what to look at when choosing a hosting?
And what are the best web hosting companies that can ensure it all? We gathered the top-three popular hosting providers according to the HostAdvice research — and the opinions of our partners.
GoDaddy is one of the top popular hosting providers — it serves 16% of all existing websites. It offers three hosting types:
Although GoDaddy doesn’t offer you any free trial periods, you can claim a refund after the first 30 days. Another advantage is that you can select your hosting location: USA, Europe, or Asia.
Bluehost also has many positive reviews and has established itself as one of the top-recommended hosting providers. It offers the same hosting options as GoDaddy but has a whopping eight pricing plans for the shared type.
What is great about Bluehost, all of its pricing plans include free usage of the Cloudflare CDN, so you won’t have issues with your hosting location.
Ionos claims to be the best hosting provider to react to traffic spikes, with a loading page speed of 1.23 seconds. It also has various pricing plans and a free month for new customers.
We think things got much clearer now, right? Once you choose a suitable hosting provider, it will do its work smoothly — with no distraction from website mistakes.
Or you have everything ready? Why wait then —

Still, some of our partners become a bit confused about how much and how often we pay. No worries — we’ll share all details in this payments guide right now.
If you are already familiar with ProPush, you know that we have two payment models: RevShare and CPS. What’s the difference and what to choose?
CPS, or the Cost per Subscriber. It’s very straightforward: a user subscribes to push notifications on your landing page, we pay! How much? Here are our current CPS rates per 1000 subscribers:
These rates can change, but you can check the actual ones in your Dashboard under the Rates tab.
The main advantage of this model is that you get a subscriber and don’t care about what will happen to them next — you get paid once and that’s it. Note, that this model is not available for the newly-joined partners — in the beginning, you can only work upon RevShare.
RevShare. In this model, we pay for notifications delivered to your subscribers. So, a user subscribes to your website or landing page, we send them notifications, they interact with them — and you get your profit! We work based on RevShare with all of our new partners, but you can switch to CPS later.
This model is perfect for those who have large volumes of high-quality traffic. Although you might need to wait a bit before you get your first earnings, it pays off pretty quickly and brings significant profits.
We have two kinds of stats that show your earnings. The first one allows you to check your daily profit: just enter the Earnings tab on your dashboard:
And what if you need to know the whole amount for a particular period of time? It’s available under the Statistics tab. Just select the dates you want to check, and you’ll see your total profit:
Our payout rules are very simple. They are the same for both Revshare and CPS partners, and there’s only a slight difference for the newly-joined partners.
We automatically send your earnings for the whole previous week to your default payment method on Thursdays.
Let’s look at the example to make things easier. For instance, you sent your traffic to a landing page with a ProPush tag from Monday, June 27 until Sunday, July 3. You earned $8877. You will withdraw this exact amount next Thursday, July 7 — after a four-day period of hold.
Suppose you continued to send traffic after July 3 and earned some more with ProPush. It added more profit to your overall earnings.
So, at the moment of withdrawal on July 7, you have, say, already $14990, not $8877 on your account.
However, you can only withdraw the funds earned during the previous week. Your payment schedule will look like this:
| Dates | Your profit | Amount to be paid on Thursday, July 7 | Amount on hold until next payday on Thursday, July 14 |
| June 27 - July 7 | $14990 | $8877 (Earned June 27 — July 3) | $6113 |
Note that your balance in the right upper corner shows ALL your earnings — including what you can already withdraw and what will be held until next Thursday.
Let it not confuse you — and check the earnings in the Statistics dashboard exactly for the previous week.
An important note for those who just joined ProPush: we make the first payout after 14 days of your work.
To be more precise, this first payout happens on the first Thursday after two weeks pass. For example, you have collected subscribers for 14 days, and this 14-day period is over on Monday. You will need to allow up to three more days — and your payout will arrive on Thursday.
We do our best to provide you with a wide range of convenient methods for quick withdrawals — and here is what we have for now:
Mind the minimum payout amounts and fees:
| Payment method | Minimum withdrawal | Fees |
| All but the bank transfer | $100 | None |
| Bank Transfer | $500 | $50 for payouts less than $1000 Free, if you withdraw $1000 or more. |
Didn’t find the best suitable payment method? You are welcome to suggest yours, and we’ll see if we can add it in the future.
Basically, no — our smart system works without bugs and errors and counts all earnings correctly. The only thing that can happen is issues with your traffic. All of you can face low-quality traffic providers or just bad sources — and accidentally send some fraud or bot traffic to ProPush.
In such cases, we always speak to a partner personally, discuss the issue — and sometimes claim a refund. However, it’s not a commonplace situation for us, and you provide us with high-quality traffic, you have nothing to worry about!
We hope this guide helped you to work with ProPush more effectively and have a better understanding of your earnings. You can always contact our customer support team at support@propush.me or your personal manager if you have any questions left. And if you haven’t joined us yet — you are welcome to do it now!
