How To Generate Affiliate Links For Your Products
Generated affiliate links are unique URLs created for each affiliate promoting your digital product. These links are automatically generated when a customer becomes an affiliate after purchasing your product. Each link contains a special code that allows Pillar to track and attribute sales to the correct affiliate.
How affiliate links work on Pillar:
- As the original creator, you can generate as many unique affiliate links as you like for your digital product, each with its commission percentage (or the same for all)
- Share each link with a single person to make them your affiliate
- Your affiliates will need to sign up for Pillar to share your affiliate links
- The affiliate adds the link to their Pillar store using the “Pillar Affiliate Link” product menu option
- Visitors who click on the affiliate’s link are taken to the original creator’s product, but the sales are tracked and attributed to the affiliate
- You make money on the sale and the affiliate receives their commission
To generate Affiliate Links for a product:
- Open the Advanced tab of your product
- Use the Generate button to create as many links as you like
- Set commissions (these can be the same or different for each link)
- Copy and share your links with individual affiliates
- Publish the product to save your links
If you received an affiliate link from a creator, you will need to “claim” the link by adding it to your Pillar store
To claim a link and become an Affiliate:
