How do I get affiliates into my program?

Four ways: email an invitation, share your campaign's partner link, list the campaign on the Discovery marketplace (Professional and up), or create affiliates programmatically with the Developer API (Ultimate and Scale).

You can recruit affiliates several ways, and you can mix them.

The options

  • Email invitation: invite a specific person by email. They accept and are added to the campaign right away.
  • Shareable partner link: every campaign has a public join link you can post or send. Anyone with the link can apply or join.
  • Discovery marketplace (Professional and up): list your campaign publicly so affiliates browsing LinkJolt can find and apply to it. Turn on auto-approve to accept them instantly.
  • Developer API (Ultimate and Scale): create affiliate records programmatically for partners you manage and pay directly.

However an affiliate joins, their tracking links and any registered coupon codes are generated automatically, so there is nothing to send them by hand.

Related questions

How do affiliates get their tracking links?

Once an affiliate joins your campaign, their unique tracking links and short links are generated automatically in the affiliate portal. They copy and share them, and any registered coupon codes work alongside.

Can affiliates start promoting before I approve them?

Yes. Pending affiliates can generate tracking links and drive conversions right away, but those commissions stay unpaid until you approve both the affiliate and the commission. Nothing is paid out without your approval.

How does the Discovery marketplace help me find affiliates?

Discovery is a public marketplace (Professional and up) where affiliates browse live programs and apply to yours. Your campaigns are listed by default, you can auto-approve applicants, and featured placement is available for $39 per week.
