Who is an arbitrageur and what does he do?

An arbitrageur is a specialist in the field of promoting the goods and services offered by the brand with which he or she has partnered. As a partner, the arbitrageur's main task is to attract the target audience through a website, social network or mobile application and to redirect them to the advertiser's resource.

Difference between Internet Marketer and Arbitrageur

Newbies often get confused by the terms and mistakenly assume that arbitrage and marketing are the same thing. This is due to the fact that both specialties are aimed at working with traffic on the Internet.

For the sake of clarity, we have compiled a table with points that make it easy to understand the difference.

The most important thing to remember is that an arbitrageur works primarily for himself. Accordingly, the amount of earnings will depend directly on his desire and ability.

What types of arbitrage traffic exist?

Types of arbitration are distinguished according to 2 categories: sources and legal requirements.

In the first case there are direct, organic and referral. Direct source is when the user enters the URL of the site in the address bar. Organic — the customer finds the site in a search engine. Referral is when the user clicks on an affiliate's promotional material, such as links.

In the second case, the arbitrage traffic is divided according to the legislation, i.e. into white, black and gray. According to the name, white is about authorized methods of PR, as a rule, completely legal products. And black is about dubious and illegal promotion techniques. Gray is a mixture of both.

Arbitrage traffic sources

Traffic sources are websites, platforms (TikTok, Kick, Facebook, Twitch, Pinterest, Telegram, Instagram, Twitter (X), VK, Zen and YouTube) and applications from which users come to the brand's website. Tools such as banners, referral links and promo codes are used to promote on these resources.

What are verticals?

Verticals are a group of listings targeted to a specific audience.

Of course, the table is not a complete list of available arbitrage niches. We have listed the most popular ones. Others are Cash-on-Delivery, Travel, Forex, Finance, Biz Ops, Nutra, Education, Utility and Magic.
