How to send your affiliates their links

In this article, you will learn how to send affiliate links to your affiliates so they can promote your products.

You will need:

In systeme.io, affiliate links have the following structure: https://www.yourpagelink?sa=AFFILIATEID

To learn how to set up your affiliate program with systeme.io, read this article.

To promote your offer and earn commissions, each affiliate needs a unique link to your page.

1. Send your affiliates their affiliate links:

To do this, use the {affiliate_id} variable in your email. This will generate the affiliate ID of each contact.

Example: Aurelian wants to send a unique affiliate link to each of his affiliates, enabling them to promote systeme.io.

The offer link: https://systeme.io/

What to include in the email: https://systeme.io/?sa={affiliate_id}

By including the affiliate ID as part of the email, each affiliate will automatically receive their own affiliate link to promote systeme.io.

IMPORTANT:

•  In order for your affiliates to keep track of the number of contacts and sales they have made, they'll need access to their affiliate dashboard.

• The Affiliate dashboard is only available to users who are registered as affiliates. Student (course) accounts do not have access to the Affiliate Dashboard.

2. How to send the affiliate ID and affiliate dashboard link to your affiliates:

Step 1: Create a dedicated opt-in page for your affiliate program with a field to capture email addresses (How to create an opt-in page or a pop-up)

IMPORTANT: With systeme.io, an affiliate ID is generated automatically for every contact on your email list, allowing them to promote your affiliate program.

However, to better identify and communicate with your affiliates, we recommend creating a dedicated opt-in page where they can join your affiliate program. This allows you to tag subscribers with an "Affiliate" tag automatically.

Step 2: Create an automation rule to automatically send an email whenever a new affiliate subscribes. To modify the email message contents, click on the pencil icon.

Step 3: You can include the following variables in your email:

• The {affiliate_id} variable displays the subscriber's unique affiliate ID.

• The {affiliate_dashboard} variable to provide access to their affiliate dashboard.

As part of your email, you can also include an affiliate link to one or several of your offers by following this structure:

• https://www.yourpagelink?sa={affiliate_id}
