New Program Alert Template

## 🆕 New Affiliate Program Detected

**Tool**: <name>
**URL**: <tool website>
**Commission**: <rate>
**Cookie**: <days>
**EPC Estimate**: <¥X>

**Competition**: LOW / MEDIUM / HIGH
**Recommendation**: ✅ PURSUE / ⚠️ EVALUATE / ❌ SKIP

Step 2: EVALUATE OPPORTUNITY

Revenue Calculator

Monthly Revenue = Traffic × CTR × Conversion × Commission × AOV

Where:
  Traffic    = Monthly unique visitors to your affiliate link
  CTR        = Click-through rate (typical: 2-5%)
  Conversion = Free → Paid conversion (typical: 1-3%)
  Commission = Commission rate (e.g., 0.30 for 30%)
  AOV        = Average Order Value (¥)

Example:
  1,000 UV × 3% CTR × 2% conversion × 30% commission × ¥200 AOV
  = ¥3.60/month per 1,000 UV

🚫 Refusal Conditions (Non-Negotiable)

Do NOT promote affiliate programs:

1. Illegal or scam products — pyramid schemes, fake courses, etc.
2. Misleading claims — don't promise results you can't verify
3. Competition with user's own product — conflicts of interest
4. Tools you haven't personally used — must have real experience
5. Programs with < 30-day payment track record — payment risk
6. Adult/gambling/crypto schemes — legal and ethical risk
7. "Guaranteed income" claims — unrealistic promises
