How an affiliate network works ?

[trione]

Let's assume I have a dating site, and I want to launch an affiliate program to attract new users. What exactly do I need to do to start the program? For example, after someone joins my program, I want to be able to pay commissions program participants who bring new members to my site. For this to happen, the affiliate platform needs access to my site's sign-ups and purchases. How do affiliate networks achieve this? How do affiliate networks track how many people sign up through a referral link and how many of them purchase the premium package?

Hey Trione!

That’s so exciting that you’re thinking about starting your own program! I love seeing people take that step, and I’d be happy to help explain it in a simple way.

You actually have two main options:

Running it in your own affiliate network – This means you’d need an affiliate tracking platform like CAKE, TrafficManager, Affise, etc., to manage everything yourself.

Partnering with other affiliate networks – For example, you could work with networks like Afflyfe as an advertiser to run your dating site as an offer.

Just keep in mind that you’ll need to have all your backend revenue tracking set up to make this work smoothly.

I hope that gives you a bit more clarity! Let me know if you have any questions—happy to help.

Your title says affiliate network and your post speaks to an affiliate program. I think first you need to understand they are "nothing" alike other than using affiliates for promotions. Other than that they are not the same!

Recruiting affiliates is a skill and you will need to develop those skills or hire a pro to do it for you. Your site will need to incorporate an affiliate portal platform like Cake, Tapfiliate, Post Affiliate Pro, PartnerStack, Lavanta, TrackDesk, TrackNow, etc. These programs insterface with your system and provide the necessary tools for you and for the affiliates. The affiliates and you will have separate portals to provide the data required for reporting and tracking.

It's done by tracking using query strings that might contain a variable that has the affiliate code in it. That's how it's done.
