Your Affiliate Portal is where you can check your revenue, payments, change your address or password, and obtain links to post on your site.

LOG IN

Use your existing Beatle.net account login.

CREATIVES

“Creatives” are the links and banners for you to use on your site and social media. This is where you create new links and find pre-made links and banners.

Go to your Affiliate Portal.

Use one of the generated links in the “creatives” menu in your affiliate dashboard. These can be used in your posts on your website, facebook, twitter, email etc.

Your Affiliate Link Using Affiliate ID:

This will direct your referrals to the home page of beatle.net

Referral URL Generator

Enter any URL from Beatle.net in the field, click the generate link button and then copy the link to your clipboard and then paste wherever you want to use it.

Any time you use one of your affiliate links, whether on your own website, social media or email, you need to disclose that you may receive compensation if they click the link you’re sharing.  The disclosure ought to be “clear and conspicuous” and the words “affiliate link” by themselves might not be adequate.

Examples:

This page contains affiliate links. If you purchase through my link here I may earn a small commission at no cost to you. It keeps my site up and allows me to provide beautiful content. I personally read and endorse Bruce Spizer’s books.

I receive a small referral fee for recommending this product. However, this is at no extra cost to you and I recommend Bruce Spizer’s books because I genuinely love them.

Read the FTC’s endorsement guide for more information.

Once you have created a link using one of the above methods, just insert the link in a blog, tweet, facebook post, email, anywhere someone can click. Remember, no matter what page you send someone to, you will receive a commission on everything they buy within the next year

Write about us on your blog

TIP: You can use this method to link to our articles and other pages to tag your referral

Content sharing

Link to any of our wide range of articles. Just copy the url address for the article, write a quick snippet about the article on your blog or facebook post, and then include the disclosure and affiliate link.

In your own WooCommerce Estore

Note: We recommend only writing posts and articles about our products rather than creating products in your estore because our product descriptions, inventory and sales are always changing.

If you already have your own WooCommerce store you can add some of our products to your store using Product Type “External/Affiliate”

1. Copy the URL for the product

Go to your Affiliate Portal and generate your Affiliate Link using the Link Generator. This will tag the link with your Affiliate ID. Copy this new link.

2. Create a new product. Enter product name and description – copy directly from beatle.net. Please do not alter the text.

3. Under Product Data, select External/Affiliate product.

4. Paste the link that you generated in your Affiliate Portal into the Product URL field.

The product appears like any other product, but there will not be an Add to Cart button. In its place there is a Buy button (text can be customized) and when clicked leads to the product page on Beatle.net where it can be purchased. Our system will log the sale along with any other purchases your referral makes.
