The topic is well articulated and presented in a simpler way but I would like to say that lower commission rate such as 5% to 10% could be more sustainable for businesses. That's good to consider as well.

Based on the understanding of the topic, I would like to add my quota that the commission rate should align with the value of the product that was promoted because higher price items wiill ustify the lower commission rate
The contribution add another dimension to the topic and I would say that it is good to consider the competition in your industry when determining the commission rate as well.
I follow the comment closely and it's stood out to me that offering tiered commissions structure or any kind of performance-based incentives can also be an effective strategies to adopt.

The comment made me where so refreshing and it made me have a new perspective on the topic because I would encourage to keep in mind that commission rate is a single aspect of affiliate relationship because affiliate also value factors like product quality etc.
I would advise to take into account the lifetime value of the customer which could be acquired through affiliate marketing and this should be considered whenever commission rate is being set.
It is very critical to consider offering a performance based on incentives whenever you are considering the commission rate for affiliate that have succeeded in reaching their sales milestones .
