The Affiliate Playbook turns audience trust into measurable, compliant partnership work.
Build a profile a Brand can evaluate
State your niche, audience context, active channels, geography, representative work, typical formats, turnaround, rights expectations, and commercial boundaries. Use verified analytics where available and label estimates.
Apply with a point of view
Explain why the offer fits your existing audience and content—not merely why you want the commission. Identify the problem you can help solve, the format you would use, and questions that must be answered before publication.
Protect trust
- Disclose every material Brand relationship.
- Use only authorized claims, media, music, names, likenesses, and marks.
- Do not claim experience or results you did not have.
- Do not buy, automate, stuff, or manipulate traffic or conversions.
- Retain links, terms, content versions, and performance records.
Reconcile the ledger
Review clicks, eligible conversions, pending amounts, releases, reversals, available balance, payout requests, provider dispatch, and tax records as separate states.
