How to Select Affiliate Programs for Content Lockers?

Selecting affiliate programs for Content Lockers in MyLead means manually choosing which campaigns appear to users before they unlock your content. You open the Content Locker tab, enter the campaign list, toggle offers on or off per country using the flag system, and filter by category, device type, and payout model. Over 1,000 campaigns are available.

This guide walks you through accessing your locker's settings, hand-picking campaigns, managing country availability, and applying filters. You control exactly which affiliate programs appear in your Content Locker.

What you'll learn from this article:

• why manual campaign selection can convert better than auto-selected offers,

• how to reach your locker's campaign settings in the publisher dashboard,

• how the flag system enables or disables offers per country,

• how to activate or deactivate multiple campaigns at once,

• how to filter offers by country, category, device type, and payout model.

How do you manually select affiliate programs for a Content Locker?

Manual selection is the process of opening your Content Locker's campaign list in the MyLead publisher dashboard and choosing which affiliate offers display to users. Instead of leaving the default auto-selection, you enter the locker, browse over 1,000 available campaigns, and toggle each offer individually. This gives precise control over what your audience sees before unlocking content.

Before selecting offers, finish configuring your Content Locker — the campaign list only appears once setup is complete. You can also review the basics of installing Content Lockers. The steps below cover navigation and manual selection:

1. Log in to the publisher dashboard and open the Content Locker tab in the left-hand menu.

2. Choose the locker type that matches your website or app from the options shown.

3. To keep the default setup, leave the settings unchanged — MyLead auto-selects the best-performing offers for you.

4. To choose offers yourself, click the first button next to the locker's settings (the manual-selection icon).

5. Open the campaign list to see every available offer you can display.

Why pick campaigns manually instead of using auto-selection?

Manual selection lets you align every offer with your audience's interests, language, and device, which typically lifts conversions above the generic auto-selected mix. Auto-selection prioritizes overall top performers, while hand-picking matches offers to your specific niche — a beauty audience sees beauty campaigns, a gaming audience sees app installs. Both options remain free to use.

A well-matched Content Locker turns more views into completed actions — the Content Locker case study shows how targeted offers drive unlocks. If you don't have an account yet, create your free MyLead publisher account and build your first locker in minutes.

How does the country flag system control offer availability?

Each campaign row shows country flags on the right that mark where the offer runs. A colored flag means the offer is active in that country; a grayscale flag means it is disabled there. Clicking a flag toggles availability, so you can switch off a campaign in regions where it converts poorly without removing it entirely.

The flag column sits next to every offer in your campaign list:

Click any colored flag to turn it grayscale and disable that country; click again to switch it back on:

How can you manage and preview multiple campaigns at once?

Selection boxes on the left of the campaign list let you tick several offers and activate or discard them together, while Activate all and Deactivate all buttons at the top handle the entire list. Clicking a campaign name opens a preview with its payout, payout model, supported devices, and available countries before you commit.

Tick the selection boxes to activate or discard several offers together, or use the bulk buttons at the top:

The preview lists the payout, payout model, supported devices, and target countries before you add the offer:

How do you filter campaigns to match your audience?

The Filters panel on the right narrows the campaign list by four criteria so you surface only relevant offers. You filter by Countries to target active regions, Categories such as Dating or Health and Beauty, Device Type for Mobile, Tablet, or Desktop, and Type for the payout model. Selections apply instantly and save automatically.

• Countries — filter offers by the regions where they are active.

• Categories — pick verticals like Dating affiliate programs, House and Garden, or Health and Beauty.

• Device Type — show campaigns for Mobile, Tablet, or Desktop.

• Type — filter by payout model: CPL, CPA, CPS, PPI, or COD.

The four filter panels open from the right side of the list:

Once you make a selection, every change saves automatically — there is no separate save button to click.
