The mistake: cramming your affiliate link where it breaks tracking

The mistake: cramming your affiliate link where it breaks tracking

Quick question: ever wondered why a signup didn't "count"? Often the link itself is the problem.

Avoid these:
— Link shorteners that strip your tracking ID (your unique code).
— Pasting links inside platforms that block outside links (some DMs, some app stores).
— Forgetting the disclosure note ("this is an affiliate link") which builds the trust that makes people actually click.

Fix in 3 steps:
— Click your own link in a fresh browser.
— Check the destination URL still shows your ID (often after ?ref= or ?aff=).
— Test signup; confirm it lands in your dashboard.

In plain English: if your name falls off the link, the store can't pay you.

Today: self-test one link end to end.
