Before you can invite your members into your affiliate program, you'll first need to make sure to turn on at least one product by going to Affiliates > Products on your dashboard.
If this is your first time using our affiliate feature, check out our help article here for more guidance.
Once you've successfully activated your Affiliate Center, you're now ready to accept affiliates to help promote your product!
By default, your members will not be automatically enrolled in your affiliate program so you'll need to invite them to join.
We recommend sending them an email to let them know about your affiliate program and share the link to your Affiliate Center so they're able to access their unique affiliate link.
Go to Affiliates > List and click on the gear icon at the top corner of your screen and a pop-up window will appear with the link to your Affiliate Center:
Here, you can choose either the Direct Link or the One-Click Link depending on your use case.
Once they click on the link, they'll be directed to a page where they can accept the terms of your affiliate program and provide their payout detail. This would be their preferred PayPal email address where you can send their commission.
This is an example from our MV Learn site:
After they accept the terms, they now have access to your Affiliate Center and can begin to promote your products to their audience!
Another great way to showcase your Affiliate Program and let people know they can join is by using the Announcement Bar like we did in the screenshot above! Here's how you can set this up inside your MemberVault account.
While your members don't have to own a product to be able to promote it, it’s important to note that they need to have an account in MemberVault to become affiliates for your product. Check out this article for more info on how you can create an account for your audience.
You can sign up for the MemberVault affiliate program, and see how we're using our own Affiliate feature for ourselves right here.
