You've read the guide. You know how the system works. Here's what to do right now:

Most affiliates earn their first commission within 7-14 days of sharing their first link. You can too.

Questions? Message us in the chatbox. We're here to help.

Before you can withdraw earnings, you need to verify your identity. This is standard KYC (Know Your Customer) verification - we confirm who you are so we can pay the right person when commissions come in.

Stuck? Watch the verification walkthrough video below, or message us in the chatbox (bottom right corner).

Once verified, you're cleared to promote, earn, and withdraw anytime.

You have access to hundreds of curated products spanning multiple categories. Here's how to find offers worth promoting:

Where to find the marketplace: Click "Marketplace" in the left navigation menu.

● Business & Marketing (courses, agency programs, funnel templates)
● Personal Development (coaching, masterminds, productivity)
● Health & Fitness (nutrition programs, workout plans)
● Software & Tools (SaaS products, plugins, automation)
● Financial Education (investing courses, wealth programs)

By Commission Rate: Filter from highest to lowest. Look for 30-100% commission rates for maximum earnings per sale.

By Conversion Data: Products show conversion statistics. Pick offers that are already converting for other affiliates.

● Commission rate (how much you earn per sale)
● Average order value (higher = bigger payouts)
● Cookie duration (how long after someone clicks you still get credit)
● Approval type (instant auto-approval vs vendor review)
● Payment schedule (weekly, bi-weekly, monthly)

💡 Pro tip: Start with one product in a niche you already know. Don't try to promote 10 offers on day one.

Once you find a product you want to promote, you need your unique tracked affiliate link.

Where to find all your links: Go to "My Links" in the dashboard. Every product you're approved for shows here with your unique tracking URL.

CopeAffiliate lets you earn money two different ways. Most affiliates don't realize this when they start.

This is classic affiliate marketing.

Example:
● Product: $500 online course
● Commission rate: 50%
● You bring 10 buyers this month
● You earn: $2,500

Best for: Content creators, bloggers, influencers, email marketers, paid traffic buyers - anyone who wants straightforward commissions without building a team.

This is where CopeAffiliate is different from other networks.

What's a program? A program is a collection of products from one vendor. When you promote a program, you're recruiting other affiliates to join that vendor's program with you.

How it works:

Example:
● Your recruit closes a $1,000 sale
● They earn their 50% direct commission ($500)
● You earn a 5% override commission ($50)

Important: Override commissions always come from the vendor's commission pool - never from your recruit's earnings. Everyone gets paid. Nobody loses money.

Level 1 - Direct Sales (you make the sale): You earn the full direct commission rate, just like Model 1.

Level 2+ - Override Commissions (your team makes sales): You earn a smaller
percentage on sales made by affiliates you recruited.

Some programs offer 3, 5, or even 10 commission levels. The deeper your team, the more passive income you build.

Best for: Network builders, people who know other marketers, agencies, sales teams - anyone who wants to build passive income streams that compound over time.

Perfect overview in your dashboard:

Can you do both models at once?

Yes. Many affiliates promote individual products for direct commissions AND build teams in programs for override commissions. Both income streams run simultaneously.

Start with Model 1 (direct commissions) to get your first sale. Explore Model 2
(programs) once you understand how the system works.

You have your link. Now you need to put it in front of people who might buy.

💡 Pro tip: Don't try all seven at once. Pick the channel where you're already active. Start there.

Your dashboard shows everything in real-time.

Clicks: How many people clicked your affiliate link. If this number is low, share your link more places.

Conversions: How many people bought after clicking. If clicks are high but conversions are low, try a different product.

Pending Commissions: Money you've earned but hasn't been approved yet (still in refund window).

Approved Commissions: Money cleared and ready to pay out on vendor's schedule.

Paid Commissions: Money that's already hit your account.

Where to find this data: Go to "Analytics" or "Performance" in your dashboard. Filter by date range, product, or traffic source.

● Click-through rate: 2-5% (of people who see your link)
● Conversion rate: 1-3% (of people who click)
● Commission per sale: $50+ (higher is better)

If your numbers are below this, test different products or traffic sources.

You earned a commission. Now when do you get paid?

How payout timing works:

4. Minimum payout threshold: Most vendors require a minimum balance before paying out (often $50-$100). Once you hit it, payouts process automatically.

Go to "Payouts" or "Withdrawals" in your dashboard. Select your payment method. Request withdrawal. Money processes on the next payout cycle.

Payment methods available:

● Bank transfer
● PayPal
● Cryptocurrency (select vendors)
● Other methods (check your payout settings)

If you want to explore multi-tier commissions, here's how programs work.

How to join a program:

How to recruit affiliates to your team:

Where to find your program link:

Go to "My Programs" in the dashboard. Your unique invitation link is listed under each program you've joined.

How to track your team's performance:
​

Go to "Team Analytics" or "Downline Report".

You'll see:
● How many affiliates you've recruited
● Which team members are active
● Total sales volume from your team
● Your override commissions earned

💡 Pro tip: Only build a team if you enjoy networking and recruiting. If you prefer solo promotion, stick with direct product commissions. Both paths pay well.

Marketplace: Browse and search all available products and programs. Filter by category, commission rate, or conversion data.

My Links: See all products you're approved to promote. Copy your affiliate links. View performance per product.

My Programs: See all programs you've joined. Access your program invitation links. Track team performance.

Analytics: Real-time data on clicks, conversions, commissions. Filter by date, product, or traffic source.

Team Analytics (if you've joined programs): See your downline structure. Track override commissions. Monitor team sales volume.

Payouts: Request withdrawals. View payout history. Update payment methods.

Settings: Update profile information. Complete account verification. Set notification preferences.

Stuck on something? Here's how to get help:

"I applied to promote a product but haven't heard back."
Vendors typically approve within 24-48 hours. If it's been longer, message us and we'll follow up.

"My link isn't tracking clicks."
Make sure you copied the entire URL from your dashboard.
Test it in an incognito window. If still not working, message support.

"I earned a commission but don't see it in my balance."
Check if it's still in the refund window (shows as "pending"). Once the window closes, it moves to "approved" and enters the payout queue.

"How do I know if a vendor allows paid ads?"
Click into the product listing. Scroll to "Affiliate Terms." It states whether paid traffic is allowed.

"Can I promote products outside my country?"
Yes, CopeAffiliate works globally. Just check each product's geographic restrictions in the affiliate terms.
