Affiliate Marketing as a Performance Channel

Pay for results.

Steps

Platform, partners, tracking, policies.

Common mistakes to avoid

• Not checking for fake followers
• Over-scripted briefs that kill authenticity
• No usage rights for paid ads
• One-off posts instead of ongoing partnerships

Quick checklist before you start

• Disclosure agreed
• Results reviewed after each wave
• Tracking links or codes ready
• Contract with usage rights
• Brief with must-says and freedom

Key takeaway

How to build an affiliate programme: commission, partners, tracking and fraud. Start with one clear goal, measure results from day one and keep accounts and data in your own name, so you stay in control whatever partner you work with.
