Affiliate Programs Tool Overview

The afilliate programs tool can be purchased for your Marketer's Toolbox or Tool Truck. The afilliate programs tool allows you to add external member programs to your system (exa: Aweber Afilliate Program, Traffic Exchange Member Program, MLM's, etc) for your members to join.

Affiliate Programs vs Member Variables

A similar effect can be created using member variables and resource pages without needing the afilliate programs tool.  Benefits of the tool include:

• Easier - it is much easier to manage it using the affiliate programs tool rather than trying to build it out using member variables.
• Upline Search - Affiliate programs have a setting allowing it to pull the link from an sponsor's (parent's) upline if the sponsor does not have a link set.

Upline Search Example

For example, lets say you create an affiliate program called "My MLM" and Abe refers Bill who in turn refers Caleb. Abe goes in and puts his link into the My MLM afilliate program, but Bill does not. When Caleb logs into his members area and goes to join "My MLM", because his sponsor Bill does not have a link assigned, it will show Caleb Abe's link instead. Because of this, it is important that the admin's account has a link for every afilliate program because if no one else in the system has added a link yet, it will need to pull the link from the admin's account.

Member's View

When logged in as an member an icon will appear on the members area home page. The icon takes members to a page (/admin/affiliateprograms) allowing members to join the affiliate programs and add their own links:

The page showing the affiliate programs is customizable where you can edit the html for each program to customize it.  The default look is similar to:


Once an member clicks on the affiliate program title, the following popup will appear allowing members to put their own url:

Admin's View

When logged in as an admin, you will have the same icon as the members have to add your own links to the affiliate programs. You MUST add your link for each affiliate program while logged in as the admin. In addition to this, you will have a link in the Admin links section that says "Manage Affiliate Programs" bringing you to a page that allows you to add, edit, delete and sort the affiliate programs.

Allowing Members To Add Their Own Affiliate Programs

You also have the ability to define how many levels deep the affiliate programs they add will appear in their downline.
