Promote Your Link and Earn

Getting your link is step one; earning from it is the real work. This page covers where a referral link actually converts, how to promote it without burning your audience, and how to use your dashboard to double down on what works.

The one rule that matters

Recommend things you would recommend anyway. The partners who earn the most are not the ones who post the most links — they are the ones whose audience already trusts their taste. A referral link works when it sits inside genuinely useful content: a tutorial that happens to use the product, an honest review, a comparison, a workflow you actually run. It fails when it is bolted onto content that exists only to place the link.

Where links convert

Ranked roughly by how well they tend to convert, not by reach:

1. Content that solves a problem the product solves. A how-to, a setup guide, a "here's my stack" post. The reader is already in a buying mindset — the link is the natural next step, not an interruption.
2. Honest reviews and comparisons. "I tried X for six months — here's the good and the bad." Comparisons especially: people searching "X vs Y" are close to a decision.
3. Your newsletter. A warm audience that opted in to hear from you converts far above cold social traffic. One well-placed recommendation to an engaged list beats a hundred cold impressions.
4. Communities where you are a known regular. Answering a real question with a real recommendation converts. Drive-by link drops in communities you don't participate in do not — and often get you banned.
5. Direct outreach. For high-ticket products, a personal message to someone who has the exact problem outperforms any broadcast.

What to avoid

• Spraying the link into unrelated threads. It converts near zero and damages the trust that makes everything else work.
• Hiding that it's a referral. A short "this is my referral link" line costs you nothing and keeps your audience's trust. Many regions require the disclosure anyway.
• Promising outcomes the product doesn't deliver. A refund is a clawed-back commission and a lost reader.

Use one link everywhere

Share the same referral link across every channel. Affitor records every click on it in a first-party cookie and ties any later signup or sale back to you, so you don't need a different link per channel to get credit — you need your dashboard to tell you which channel is working.

Read your dashboard and double down

Your Performance and Analytics views show clicks, signups, and sales over time. Use them as a feedback loop, not a scoreboard:

• Clicks but no signups? Your audience is curious but the offer or landing page isn't closing them — try a warmer context (a review instead of a mention) or a different audience segment.
• Signups but no sales? People start but don't convert to paid — this is usually the product's funnel, not your promotion. Worth a note to the advertiser through Messages.
• One channel outperforming? Put more there. Most partners find that one or two channels drive the majority of earnings — the data tells you which before your intuition does.
