Affiliates are set up as regular users of the site, and so have their own login and password. If you were already a student before signing up as an Affiliate, you will continue using your existing account as usual. If you are new to the site, the creator will create an account for you and should provide you with your login details.
Your account is mostly the same as a student account, but it does include an additional menu with specific information related to your role as an Affiliate.
Like most sites, the Learning Platform uses Affiliate Links to track who has sent a new student to a site; these links are specific URLs that include your unique Affiliate Code, and you will have access to URLs for individual courses, communities and bundles as well as a general homepage link.
Whenever a new visitor arrives at the site through one of these links, their browser saves a cookie with a record of your code, which lasts for 30 days — if that student signs up at any time during that next month, they will be counted as one of your referrals. From that point on, products they buy will earn you a commission, based on the terms of your affiliate agreement.
Details of your commission rate can be found here
This is where you can find the unique product URLs that you will share with your audience. There is also a link to the homepage, in case you want to direct potential students to the homepage rather than a specific course.
Here you can see:
This section displays your Affiliate Code and Commission rate, as well as your PayPal linked email. The first two fields are for information only and you can update and save your email address here.
