How to download an affiliate link?

Did you know that the question of how to download your affiliate link is probably the most frequently asked one? When starting an adventure with affiliate marketing, every novice publisher wants to start promoting selected products and services as soon as possible. However, without a unique link, it just doesn’t make even the slightest sense. But where to get this link? If you also wanted to ask this question, this blog post is for you!

Step 1. Creating an account on MyLead

The first and most important point is that only users of the affiliate network can generate their affiliate link. Therefore, if you are interested in this way of earning, join MyLead by registering on the website. You can create a free account by clicking on the button below.

Step 2. Joining a campaign

Good job! You are now a MyLead user, the so-called Publisher. The next step is to join the affiliate program. This is what we call all kinds of product and service offers that you can promote by operating with an affiliate network. MyLead currently has over 2,600 affiliate programs in various categories. We are sure that you will also find something for yourself.

To join the program, log in to your MyLead account and in the Publisher's Panel find the Affiliate Marketing tab, and then Affiliate Campaigns. This is where you will find all the offers that can be promoted.

Choose one of them and go to the offer details by clicking the gray button with the word Join.

You will see a detailed description of the program and My Configurations section, in which you can add traffic sources and send requests to join the specific campaign. 

If the campaign requires it, specify your traffic source - which is where you will promote it, and then describe the promotion method - which is how you will promote the selected campaign. Do it in detail - based on this description, our Support will decide whether you will get access to the program.

The source of traffic may be, for example, social media (e.g. fanpage on Facebook),paid advertising (e.g. advertising in search engines),own website or blog.

If your promotion idea does not violate the restrictions of a given campaign, you will be able to promote the offer within a few hours (this time may be extended over the weekend). 

You will be informed about it by a notification that will be displayed in the User Panel in the upper right corner and an automatic email message. You can change the notification settings at any time by going to the Profile > Settings tab.

Attention! If this is your first affiliate link ever, you can skip to step 3, which is downloading the link. In this case, the link is generated automatically by MyLead and you can enjoy it right after approval by Support.

However, if you want to create another link for the same campaign, after gaining access, go back to the program's website and click the URL Addresses edit in My Configuration. The new link will be useful if you promote campaigns in several places, thanks to which it will be easier for you to monitor the results. Give a name to the new configuration (describe it so that you know what it is about - the name is visible only to you. We called ours "TEST- 1") and select the tracking domain. The tracking domain is the main part of the link generated by you, e.g. in the link https://clicks1.pro/a/1wnFMoOvFMJK the tracking domain is https://clicks1.pro. 

When creating a link, we recommend that you choose the default domain. This is the safest option and you will be sure that your campaign is successful. In a situation where such a domain has been blocked, while waiting for it to be replaced by the MyLead team, you can connect to another domain selected from the list.

Step 3. Downloading the link

Congratulations! You just generated your first affiliate link. You'll find it in the affiliate program view, just below the colored tiles, in the Your configurations section.

Now you just need to copy the link and start the promotion. Good luck!
