The Affonso Marketplace is the Partner Network for affiliates. You create one account, keep one profile and login, then apply to many listed programs with that same account.

You do not need an invitation. Each program you join still has its own branded portal for tracking, referrals, commissions, and payouts.

Before you begin

Make sure you have:

  • An email address you can verify with an eight-digit code, or a Google or LinkedIn account
  • A clear sense of the audiences and channels you promote

Create your Partner Network account

  1. Open marketplace.affonso.io.
  2. Sign up or log in with Continue with Google or Continue with LinkedIn, or with your email. Signing up sends an eight-digit code. Signing in sends a magic link.
  3. Complete your profile: topics, audience, markets, how you promote, and how you like to earn.
  4. Add the channels you promote with. Verification is optional. Those channels go with the applications you submit. Select Connect YouTube, Connect LinkedIn, Connect Instagram, Connect TikTok, or Connect X. You do not type a URL or handle. YouTube confirms the channel you own. Instagram only verifies a Business or Creator account. Private Instagram cannot be verified. If a Google or Instagram account has more than one channel or professional account, choose one to add.

Browse and apply

Use search and filters to explore listed programs. Open a program to review its terms before you apply.

  • Public programs approve your application automatically.
  • Private programs send the application to the brand for review.
  • Invite-only programs are not available through the public Marketplace.

When you apply, Affonso saves the profile you submitted with that application. Editing your profile later does not change what that brand already received. A rejected or withdrawn application does not come back if you edit the profile.

After you join, Affonso can open that brand's affiliate portal so you can finish onboarding there.

My Programs and portal access

My Programs lists the programs you joined through Marketplace so you can reopen each brand portal.

If a program stops participating in Marketplace, it disappears from discovery and from My Programs. Existing affiliates keep direct access through that brand's portal URL.

Add an existing brand partnership

If you already promote a brand through its portal, you can add that partnership to the same account. Affonso does not link accounts by email alone.

Marketplace inside a brand portal

Some affiliate portals show Marketplace in the sidebar. It opens Marketplace in the same tab, already signed in. You do not sign in again. You can always open marketplace.affonso.io directly.
