Reading guides online where the same narrative keeps repeating—"Solo arbitrage is dead!", "Solo arbitrage is impossible!"—you can’t help but wonder: “So how do you get into one of those much-praised teams?”
In reality, it’s not as difficult as many people imagine. Arbitrage teams are groups of diverse specialists with a high turnover rate, as the work involves both risk and creativity—burnout is quite common in this field.
That’s why there’s always a chance to take the place of someone who’s left. All you really need to do is read the latest guide from MoreLogin, where we explain in detail how to actually become part of a team in affiliate marketing and what it takes.
Let’s start with the benefits, so you can understand why these teams exist in the first place:
Task specialization for maximum efficiency: the designer creates visuals, the arbitrage specialist selects the funnel, the traffic manager scales it, and the farmer gathers accounts and other resources;
Today, it’s the only way to gain up-to-date knowledge about traffic arbitrage without spending money. Plus, by working in a team, you not only earn a stable salary but also build valuable connections within the affiliate marketing space;
You don’t have to spend money on resources, as the team lead or manager usually handles that. For solo arbitrageurs, costs like trackers, proxies, and anti-detect browsers (like MoreLogin) can become significant. But in a team, you often get access to these tools (and more) for free;
Stability has become a meme in the Russian internet, but in high-risk fields like affiliate marketing, it’s vital. Example: if you create a poor-performing funnel, your fixed payout doesn’t drop. If you were solo, you’d be counting your losses.
If you want to approach arbitrage seriously—and not just treat it like an online “hustle”—then working in a team, with its structure, rules, clear career paths, and opportunities, is an excellent choice.
Everyone joining an arbitrage team should possess general skills: knowledge of terminology, understanding how ad accounts work and their policies, and proficiency with anti-detect browsers like MoreLogin.
The specific skill set depends on the role you’re applying for. Job postings usually outline the required competencies clearly:
Farmer: perseverance, knowledge of Facebook algorithms (or other platforms), basic understanding of traffic arbitrage;
Traffic handler: scripted communication, objection handling, customer persuasion, stress resistance;
Arbitrage specialist: ad setup (PPC, targeting), analytics (ROI, CR), working with LPs/pre-landers;
Team lead: team management, budget distribution, strategic planning, A/B testing;
Creative specialist: creating banners/videos, Figma/Photoshop, trend awareness, creative analytics;
Landing page developer: HTML/CSS, Tilda/WordPress, responsive design, UX optimization;
Media buyer: traffic purchasing (Pop/Push/Native), platform negotiations, bid optimization;
Analyst: Excel/Google Sheets, basic SQL, Data Studio, LTV forecasting.
Keep in mind that these roles form only the core of a team. There are also copywriters, developers, traffic managers, and other amazing professionals—usually found in larger teams.
It’s best to look for jobs in the affiliate marketing niche through Telegram chats and channels. Most IT HR professionals have gradually migrated there and are actively recruiting traffic handlers, sales managers, farmers, digital specialists, media buyers, and other team members.
We’ve put together a list of Telegram channels where you can find job openings in arbitrage teams:
There are also websites (mostly media platforms) that publish job listings. They’re updated less frequently, but the offers are often more attractive—and the risk of employer fraud is virtually zero:
In addition, many teams post job openings directly on their own websites, avoiding paid listings. If you’re looking to join an arbitrage team, we recommend checking out the websites of the companies themselves. There are plenty of curated lists online—for example, this one.
Most of the time—a résumé isn't even necessary, and teams don’t place much emphasis on it.
If you're being considered for a media buyer position, they’ll usually ask for traffic stats from the past three months (often within a specific vertical). If you’re applying for a digital role—like designer, copywriter, or SMM specialist—a portfolio will be enough. That could be a Behance profile, writing samples, or client ad account performance stats.
But if you do decide to make a résumé, the one rule to remember is: don’t lie.
You might get past the HR rep—who may not fully understand the space—but you’ll almost certainly fail at the second interview stage with the team lead or their deputy.
Again, it depends on your specialization. If you’re applying as a media buyer, expect tough questions and hypothetical tasks (like selecting a target audience or putting together a rough ad funnel).
If you're going for a more entry-level role, like an account farmer (teams often train these roles from scratch, and previous experience might even get in the way), they might ask about basic metrics, your understanding of ad platforms, and your awareness of current traffic arbitrage trends.
If you’re completely new and just starting out in arbitrage, consider applying for these roles, which often don’t require prior experience:
Traffic handler
Content manager
Account farmer
Media buyer assistant
For the first two roles, be aware that you may run into legal issues in your country.
In some CIS countries, for instance, traffic handlers are mostly recruited for gambling and financial offers, and working in the gambling vertical may be prohibited or even considered illegal. Always check your country’s laws before accepting a role.
The biggest mistake anyone can make when entering affiliate marketing and traffic arbitrage is trying to lie, borrow someone else’s experience, or use fake stats from the internet.
This all gets exposed quickly—often during the probation period—when the person, for example, can’t properly set up an ad account or produces tasteless, unstructured creatives.
That’s why it’s crucial to be honest and realistic about your experience. Traffic arbitrage is, above all, a numbers game—and results are measured very transparently.
Joining a team is the only real way to enter arbitrage without prior skills or from adjacent fields;
Teams are always hiring—there’s high turnover in this niche;
It’s important to build horizontal connections, be active in chats, and talk to others about your background;
Culturally, affiliate marketing and arbitrage feel more like informal work without rigid corporate values. Skills are the top priority;
Look for jobs in Telegram channels and chats. Don’t just reply to new listings—older ones too. Someone might have just left the team and your timing could be perfect;
Prepare for interviews: research the background of the team you want to join, review relevant terminology and formulas, read case studies, and learn the specifics of your desired role;
Don’t try to fool HR—they only handle the initial screening and check if you fit the salary range. The team leads or their deputies will be the ones to truly assess your capabilities.
If you pass the interview—congratulations. But that’s just the beginning of your journey in traffic arbitrage.
The next stage is onboarding, signing an NDA, and going through a probation period. To succeed, you need to prove yourself as a professional, disciplined, and motivated team member who’s eager to learn and work.
Do that—and you’ll thrive both in arbitrage and beyond.
