Affiliate Onboarding Guide

Everything you need to start earning with LeadSpark. From account setup to your first commission, this guide covers the complete affiliate journey.

Getting Started

Three steps to go from signup to earning commissions. Most affiliates complete onboarding in under 15 minutes.

1

Create Your Affiliate Account

Visit leadspark.questo.media and select "Affiliate Partner" during registration. Fill in your name, email, website or social channels, and preferred payment method. No approval wait - your account activates immediately.

2

Generate Your Tracking Links

Log into your affiliate dashboard and navigate to the Links section. Create unique tracking links for each product, campaign, or content piece. Each link embeds your affiliate ID and supports UTM parameters for granular analytics.

3

Start Promoting and Earning

Place your affiliate links in blog posts, reviews, comparison articles, email newsletters, or social media content. When a visitor clicks your link and converts, you earn a commission. Track everything in real time from your dashboard.

Commission Structure

Commissions vary by product category and conversion type. All rates are per verified conversion. Payouts are processed monthly with a $50 minimum threshold.

Product Category Commission Type Rate Cookie Window
SaaS Subscriptions Recurring revenue share 20-30% 90 days
Lead Batches Per-sale flat fee $15-$50 60 days
Enterprise Referrals One-time referral bonus $200-$500 120 days
Content Tools Per-sale percentage 15-25% 45 days
Security Products Per-sale flat fee $25-$75 60 days

Recurring commissions on SaaS subscriptions pay out every month for as long as the referred customer remains active, up to 12 months from the initial conversion.

Tracking Setup

Accurate tracking ensures you get credit for every conversion. LeadSpark uses first-party cookies combined with server-side tracking for maximum reliability.

Tracking Verification

After placing links, use the Test Mode in your dashboard to confirm clicks register correctly. Test mode shows real-time click events without affecting your live stats. Allow up to 5 minutes for click data to appear in your analytics.

Content Templates

Use these proven content formats to maximize conversions. Adapt them to your audience and writing style.

Product Review

Write an honest review of a product you have used. Include pros, cons, pricing breakdown, and who the product is best for. End with your affiliate link as a "try it yourself" CTA.

Comparison Guide

Compare 3-5 products in the same category. Use a table for features and pricing. Recommend the best option for different use cases. Embed affiliate links for each product.

How-To Tutorial

Create a practical tutorial that naturally references the product as a solution. Focus on solving a real problem. Place your affiliate link where the reader needs the tool.

Email Newsletter

Feature a product recommendation in your regular newsletter. Keep it brief - one paragraph on the problem, one on the solution, and a clear CTA button with your tracking link.
