Familiarize yourself with your new account
Following the approval of your affiliate application to ShareASale, it is time to explore your publisher homepage and take a look at some tips to finding partners on our network.
Partner with brands
With over 6,000 retail programs to choose from, the concept of finding the right one can be daunting! Our merchant search experience is designed to help you easily and intuitively identify and join relevant programs through various filters, popular search options, and a marketing calendar for upcoming holidays or seasonal events.
Promote relevant products and services with affiliate links
After establishing relevant brand partnerships on the ShareASale network, it is time to start using affiliate links! Each brand provides an array of creatives for their affiliate partners to grab from. Or, if you can’t find the specific link you are looking for, create your own affiliate tracking links to direct your audience to the exact product or category page you’re referring to.
Get paid for your efforts
For all your promotional efforts through ShareASale, rest assured that we not only track which transactions earned you commissions, but we also send you one, combined payment each month. Our trusted network provides easy-to-read reporting that displays exactly how much you can expect to be paid based on your performance each month.

By listening to the requests of our clients, we develop tools to combat the changing needs in the industry. No matter your publisher type, you can find the right tools to help you drive more conversions and propel your affiliate efforts to success.
Track your affiliate channel performance
Our robust reporting capabilities provide insight into all possible information you’d like to track for your affiliate efforts. Find out which merchants are performing best, easily find and replace broken links, or create tracking of your own with aff-tracking, which can provide added information across all your reports.
Ensure compliance – disclose, disclose, disclose!
It is crucial for all our partners to remain compliant by properly disclosing their affiliate activity. All partners are responsible to ensure that paid promotions are fully disclosed, honest and not misleading. All disclosures should be very clear and transparent. Regardless of which platform is used to promote a product or brand, disclosures are always necessary under FTC compliance requirements.
