1

Define your commission structure

20-30% for digital products is standard. Higher commissions attract better affiliates.

2

Create promotional materials

Prepare banners, email copy, social media posts, and affiliate links for your partners.

3

Recruit your first affiliates

Reach out to creators in your niche, bloggers, and influencers. Offer attractive terms to the first ones.

4

Set up tracking

Use tools like Rewardful or FirstPromoter to automatically track affiliate sales.

5

Pay on time

Pay commissions on time (monthly or bi-weekly). Affiliates who don't get paid on time stop promoting.

6

Optimize and grow

Identify your top affiliates and offer them exclusive terms. A top affiliate can generate 50% of your sales.

The best affiliates are your own satisfied customers. Invite them to your program with generous commissions.

Create a private group for your affiliates with tips, results, and exclusive materials to keep them motivated.
