In Digital Access Pass (DAP), every member is automatically enrolled as an affiliate upon registration. This means that as soon as a user becomes a member, they receive their unique affiliate link and can start promoting your products right away. If you want to create an “Affiliate Info” page for your members to access their affiliate stats and links, you can do so with DAP.
However, there may be times when you wish to directly sign up affiliates, those who may not be current members, those you do not expect to buy anything just to become an affiliate (like JV partners or super-affiliates), or simply those whose help you want in promoting your site but don’t wish to give them any content access. Here’s how you can create a direct affiliate sign-up form for JV partners and super-affiliates.
Step-by-Step Guide to Create an “Affiliate Signup Page”
1. Create a New DAP Product
- Log in to the DAP Admin Dashboard.
- Navigate to Products.
- Click on Add New Product. Give it any name. Let’s say you call it “Affiliates”.
- Set it up as a free product.
2. Generate the Signup Form Using DAP Form Builder
- Utilize DAP Form Builder to create a custom sign-up form.
- Navigate to the DAP Form Builder section in your dashboard.
- Select the “Affiliates” product and customize the fields in your sign-up form. The essential fields are typically First Name and Email.
- Once the form is configured to your liking, generate the form code.
- Publish this code on a designated page on your website, referred to as the “Affiliate Signup Page.”
3. Form Usage
- The generated form will include fields for users to enter their First Name and Email.
- Anyone can sign up by providing their information, and DAP will automatically create an account for them, granting access to the “Affiliates” product.
4. Public or Private Access
- You can choose to publicly link to this “Affiliate Signup Page” from your home page with a call-to-action like “Affiliates, Click here to sign-up.”
- Alternatively, if you want to limit access, avoid making the page public. Instead, share the link only with select partners or affiliates via email.
Manually Adding Affiliates from the Backend
If you prefer to add affiliates directly from the admin dashboard, follow these steps:
1. Log in to the DAP Admin Dashboard
2. Navigate to Members > Add
- Enter the affiliate’s First Name and Last Name (optional).
- Select the product “Affiliates” that you created earlier.
- Add the user to the “Affiliates” product.
By following these steps, you can efficiently sign up new affiliates directly, whether through an open signup page using the DAP Form Builder or by manually adding them in the DAP admin dashboard. This flexibility allows you to tailor your affiliate program to meet the needs of your business and partners.
Conclusion
These steps will help you maintain control over who can promote your products, ensuring a more effective affiliate program overall.
