Experiment with different commission levels to observe the impact on affiliate activations and order volumes.  --- #### Flat fee + Commission Paying influencers an upfront flat fee in addition to the commissions has several key benefits:  - **Attracting higher-quality creators** who might otherwise not participate, ensuring you work with top-tier influencers who produce quality content and engage effectively with their audience; - **Having more control over creative direction and usage rights**, allowing you to align content with your brand’s vision, repurpose it for broader marketing efforts, and maximize the value of each piece of content created; - **Guaranteed posts**, ensuring your products get the visibility they need and reducing the risk of creators not delivering after receiving products. On Insense, you can set and pay out the flat fee to creators in addition to the commissions they earn in the Affiliate Center.  ![](https://files.dashly.app/knowledge-bases-images/articles/7481/7481-1716219515174-9iewthgt.png)    You can set a flat fee as modest as USD 30-50. However, it's important to recognize that certain high-profile creators may command higher fees, particularly those with sizable built-in audiences.
