Pushing to many sponsors also mitigates risk. When one stops paying, gets sold, stops updating or hits some other speed bump.... It helps to only have them be 5% of your portfolio rather than 95%
Minimum payouts aren't an issue at all if you factor them into your $/click sent (which is the most important number for any affiliate)
If for example I send:
2,000 clicks to sponsor A and get a check for $100.00
2,000 to sponsor B and earn $100 but get no check due to not reaching their minimum
2,000 to sponsor C and earn 0 and get no check due to no conversions
Sponsor B above did not outperform sponsor C... They both paid me 0/2000
Sponsor A outperformed both B and C and paid me 100/2000
In simple terms, sponsors with high minimums need to convert better than sponsors with low minimums to earn traffic.
Same for sponsors with high payout fees compared to those with low payout fees or biweekly vs weekly payouts.
It always comes back to $/click sent (once you rule out scammers and are dealing with apples vs apples)
