Affiliate - Understanding Custom Affiliate Codes

The Affiliate Center allows affiliates to promote campaigns and earn commissions using unique affiliate links. However, default affiliate links can be cumbersome and less personalized. 

To address this, we provide the option to create Custom Affiliate Codes. These codes offer a more branded and memorable way to share affiliate links, enhancing marketing efforts and improving tracking. 

In this article, we will explain how you can create your custom affiliate code and personalize your affiliate URL.

What is a Custom Affiliate Code?

A Custom Affiliate Code is a unique identifier that affiliates can customize to make their affiliate URLs more memorable and branded. This custom code replaces the default system-generated affiliate ID in the URL, making it easier to share and remember.

For example:

• Default Affiliate Link: https://www.workoutwithme.xyz/masterclass?aff=8cbdfbb388836c73b302240703008e21d393cd1302124d1bc13106239f052931
• Affiliate Link with Custom Code “Blog”: https://www.workoutwithme.xyz/masterclass?aff=blog

How Affiliates Can Create Custom Codes in the Affiliate Area

You can create custom affiliate codes directly within the Affiliate Area by following these steps:

1. Affiliates should log in to their Affiliate Center and go to the Codes tab.
2. In the Codes tab, click on the “Create Code” button.

3. Enter the code in the “Code” field.

   You must ensure that the code entered in the Code field is unique. If the chosen code is already in use by another affiliate, it will not be accepted. To create a distinctive and available code, consider adding variations such as numbers or initials. For example, instead of using a common term like blog, try using blog-24 or blog-AJ (using your initials or other unique identifiers).

4. Click “Create Code”: Once a unique code is entered, click Create Code to save it.
