Step-by-Step Instructions:
- Locate the Discount Link in the Affiliate Newsletter:
- Each month, we send out a newsletter containing the upcoming month’s discount link.
- Important: Do NOT simply right-click the link and select “Copy Link.” This would copy the newsletter’s tracking URL, not the clean coupon link.
- Copy the Clean Coupon Link:
- Highlight the discount link text in the newsletter and copy it (e.g., Ctrl+C or Command+C).
- Paste the link into a text editor (like Notepad).
- Remove any extra text or parameters so you’re left with the clean, plain coupon link (e.g.,
https://...coupon=feb2025
).
- Access Your Affiliate Account:
- Log in to your PM Store Affiliate Dashboard.
- Go to Promo Data on the left-hand side, where you can create a referral link from any store URL.
- Generate Your Affiliate Link:
- In the Promo Data page, paste your clean coupon link into the provided field.
- The system will automatically generate your complete one-click affiliate link.
- Copy the new link to your text editor.
- Customize Your Tracking Parameter:
- Within the generated link, look for the section that includes
referral=...
ortracking=...
. - Replace the default text (e.g.,
link
) with something more descriptive, likefeb_pmp_coupon
ormarch_ai_coupon
. - This helps you track which link brought the sale.
- Within the generated link, look for the section that includes
- Test Your One-Click Link:
- Open a new incognito/private browser window.
- Paste in your new affiliate link and ensure it loads properly.
- You should see the product added to the cart, and any applicable discount will appear on the checkout page.
- Timing of Discounts:
- If the coupon is scheduled to be active in the future, you may see a message indicating it’s applied, but the actual discount will not appear until the coupon’s start date.
- Rest assured, once the date is reached, the coupon will be fully functional.
- Share Your Link and Earn Commission:
- Post or send your one-click affiliate link to your audience.
- Any completed purchases from that link will automatically credit you with the appropriate affiliate commission.
Additional Tips:
- Plan Ahead: We typically send next month’s coupon in the current month’s newsletter. The coupon goes live on the first of that upcoming month.
- Keep Track: Using descriptive tracking labels will help you analyze performance if you create multiple links for different promotions or landing pages.
- Double-Check Link Cleanliness: Always ensure the link you generate doesn’t contain any unwanted newsletter email tracking parameters.
