Introduction To Affiliate.co.za
Affiliate.co.za works on a performance-based marketing model.
This means affiliates (like yourself) earn commission when they successfully drive a specific action for an advertiser — such as a sale, a sign-up, or a lead.
1. Partner with Brands
We partner with leading and established brands who wish to list their products, services, or offers on Affiliate.co.za and agree on a commission structure (for example, a percentage of each sale or a fixed payout per lead).
You don’t need to negotiate payouts — the commission structures are already set by the brands and shown in your dashboard.
2. Apply to Join Campaigns
As a partner, you browse available campaigns in your dashboard and apply to the ones that match your audience and traffic sources.
Choose campaigns that fit your audience. For example, if your traffic is mostly financial content, focus on insurance or loan offers.
3. Receive Tracking Links
Once approved, you’ll receive unique tracking links and creatives (such as banners, email templates, and text ads).
These links contain your affiliate ID, ensuring all activity is correctly attributed to you.
Tracking links are the backbone of affiliate marketing. They make sure every click and conversion is linked to your account.
4. Promote the Offer
Share your tracking link through your chosen channels — such as a website, email, SMS, social media, or PPC ads.
The more targeted your traffic, the higher your conversion rates will be. Always promote offers to audiences who are likely to take action.
5. Customer Clicks & Converts
When someone clicks your tracking link, a cookie or tracking ID is stored in their browser.
If the customer completes the required action (purchase, sign-up, etc.) within the campaign’s rules, the conversion is recorded.
Most cookies last for a set period (e.g., 30 days). If the customer converts within this period, you still get credit for the sale.
6. Earn Commission
The advertiser pays Affiliate.co.za for the conversion, and you receive your share as commission.
Earnings are reflected in your dashboard and paid out according to our monthly schedule.
Commissions are tracked in real-time in your dashboard, so you always know how much you’ve earned.
