An Introduction to the Affiliate Menu (For Affiliates)

Make more money from your traffic and audience!

How It Works

As an Affiliate, you have the ability to earn commissions by promoting courses and bringing in new students to Skill Abundance Website.   Understanding exactly how our website tracks affiliate associations and commissions can help you get the most of that relationship, and ensure that you get appropriate credit for the extra business you are generating.

 

Like most sites, our website uses Affiliate Links to track who has sent a new student to a site; these links are specific URLs that include your unique Affiliate Code, and you will have access to URLs for individual courses, as well as a general homepage link. Whenever a new visitor arrives at the site through one of these links, their browser saves a cookie with a record of your code, which lasts for 30 days — if that student signs up at any time during that next month, they will count as one of your referrals. Any students that sign up with your unique link, whether for a free product or free preview will be counted for you when the make a purchase within the 30 days Cookie.

 

“For Example: Richard is an Affiliate of Skill Abundance, and he advertised his Unique URL Link on his Blogs and social media platform. David sign up for a free course or an eBook using Richard Unique URL Link. Within the 30 days period that Richard Unique Link activated on David’s browser, any product bought by David will account as Richard sales commission”

Getting Set Up as an Affiliate

Affiliates are set up as regular users of the site, and so have their own login and password. If you were already a student before signing up as an Affiliate, you will continue using your existing account as usual. 

Your account is mostly the same as a student account, but it does include an additional menu with specific information related to your role as an Affiliate.

  4. It will be formatted like this: ref=XXXXXX

“If you will like to build, your own sales page and then redirect your payment button to the checkout page. Follow the steps below.”

How to Create a Direct to Checkout Affiliate Link

A list of Checkout Link for all our products sent to your mail as part of the reply you will receive from us. You can use the checkout links configure with your affiliate code to run your affiliate marketing. Here is how to configure the course checkout link with your affiliate code.

  • Copy the checkout link for each course that will be sent to you 
  • Paste this in a text document where it can be edited
  • Check if the course checkout link includes a question mark (?) in the URL. Here is an example of a link that already includes a question mark: 
  • https://skillabundance.com/enroll/1062032?price_id=1180524
  • If the course checkout already includes a question mark, see Ampersand Method below
  • If the course checkout does not already include a question mark, append ?ref=XXXXX to the end of the URL
  • Replace the ref=XXXXX with your affiliate referral code
  • For example, if your referral code is ref=08bd3c and your checkout link is https://skillabundance.com/enroll/336493, the final URL would look like this:

                     https://skillabundance.com/enroll/336493?ref=08bd3c

 

Ampersand Method

If the checkout link for the course already includes a question mark (?) in the URL, there is a slightly different set up to make sure that your affiliate code is applied.

  • Copy the checkout link for the course
  • Paste this in a text document where it can be edited
  • Check if your link includes a question mark (?) in the URL. Here is an example of a link that already included a question mark: 
  • https://skillabundance.com/enroll/336493?price_id=348234
  • If it includes a question mark, append &ref=XXXXXX to the end of your URL
  • Replace the ref=XXXXXX with your referral code
  • For example, if your referral code is ref=08bd3c and your checkout link is https://skillabundance.com/enroll/336493?price_id=348234, the final URL would look like this:

https://skillabundance.com/enroll/336493?price_id=348234&ref=08bd3c

 

Summary of Requirements for Association

If your new sign-ups do not appear to be correctly associated with an affiliate, make sure to review all of the following requirements:

  • The first time a visitor accesses your site must be through your affiliate link.
  • If it is the first time a visitor has accessed your site, a cookie will be saved in their browser that includes your Affiliate's referral code; this cookie will last for 30 days.
  • The visitor must sign up for an account within 30 days in the same browser (with the saved cookie) to be associated with you as an affiliate.
  • The affiliate cookie lasts for 30 days and is not overwritten or renewed if the visitor accesses your site through another affiliate link within that 30 days. The cookie expiration date will remain the same.
  • The visitor does not need to make a purchase right away. If they simply sign up for an account or for a free course, they will still be associated with you as an Affiliate for future purchases.
  • If the cookie has expired and the visitor returns to the site, a new cookie will be created. For example, if a student visits a site through an affiliate link and never signs up, then 31 days later, visits through the same affiliate link, a new cookie is saved that includes the new Affiliate referral code.

Timing Issues

Because the tracking cookie only cares about the first visit (in a 30-day period), an Affiliate will not get credit for a student sign-up if that student had already visited your site prior to engaging with the affiliate. This is true even if the student later uses the affiliate link when actually enrolling in the course.

 

Cookie Trouble

Because cookies are browser-specific, you can run into problems if the visitor eventually signs up from a different browser than the one they were using when they first visited. This will only be a problem if they do not find the site via the same Affiliate link on the new browser.

If the student ends up having to clear their browser cache or otherwise reset their cookies at some point between first visiting the site and signing up, then returns to the site without using the original Affiliate link — e.g. because they have bookmarked it, intending to sign up later — they may not end up associated with the Affiliate.
