Campaigns are short paid asks. Affiliates submit proof. You review the work. Approving creates a normal earning that enters your usual payout.
Before you begin
Make sure you have:
- access to Campaigns
- at least one approved affiliate
- a clear ask, a reward amount, and a start date
Steps
Open Campaigns
Open Campaigns and select Create campaign.
Set the ask and reward
Enter a Name and an optional Ask. Set Reward in your program currency. Set Start. End is optional.
Choose the Proof you want: Text, URL, and Images.
Optional Advanced settings
Open Advanced to set Max submissions per affiliate and Email eligible affiliates when it goes live. Turn on Save as draft if you are not ready to publish.
If the start date is in the future and you are not saving a draft, the campaign stays Scheduled until that date.
Create the campaign
Select Create campaign. Approved eligible affiliates see it under Campaigns in their portal once it is live.
A campaign can be limited to affiliate groups. An empty eligibility list hides it from everyone.
To review proof after affiliates submit, see Review campaign submissions.
Common issues
Nobody sees the campaign
Cause: The campaign is still a draft or scheduled, the end date already passed, or the eligibility list is empty.
Solution: Publish with a start date that has arrived. Confirm at least one group is eligible. An empty list hides the campaign from everyone. Affiliates must be approved.
Affiliates were not emailed
Cause: Email eligible affiliates when it goes live is off, or the campaign is still a draft.
Solution: Turn the switch on in Advanced before the campaign goes live. Drafts do not send mail.
