I was researching researching for a client the different affiliate features /functionality available on some course platforms.

 We discovered it’s very important to understand the following which may be relevant for you if you are researching course platforms too-

 ✅how easy is it to create and share the affiliate link with existing course purchasers or non-members outside

✅ how easy is it to pay them (do you have to manually gather their PayPal details for example and pay them or can you pay from the system)

✅ can you set up different varying percentages (5,10,15% etc) and/or a fixed amount

✅ can you set up different currencies

✅ how good is the reporting for you and can you easily who the affiliates are and what they are due

✅ how good is the reporting for the affiliate and can they easily what they are due

✅ can you track recurring as well as one off course payments

✅ what is their cookie policy (for example

And why is it important to have the functionality of being able to share an affiliate link?

🤑 because you want to be able to promote your course as far as wide as possible

Could a business friend for example who is in a slightly different industry to you but with an audience like yours set up a link and promote their website/across their media platforms/in their ezine? Do you have several people you can think of already?

I'm in the business of helping busy entrepreneurs get organised so I share the affiliate links of a select number of my own clients who have online courses in this sphere (accountancy/professional organisers/coaches etc.)
