I am in the promoter program. If you are successfully signed up for it any links you generate by posting directly from Zazzle (Pinterest, Facebook etc.) will automatically have your associate ID stripped from them. For you own products this is exactly what you *do* want. It’s “clean” links - those with no ID that earn you that 35%. You remain an associate though - you *can* still earn 15% promoting other people products by adding your rf (referral) ID to the link ?rf=000000000etc. but you will have to build those links by hand.
I used to have rf-myassociatenumber in the referral link
Here’s something I tried to promote on Pinterest.
I don’t understand if it’s a promoter link or not since I don’t see rf and my associate number but it’s too lengthy to be a promoter link. I am confused.
The promoter 2.0 links do not have a referral code, it’s correct that it appears “plain” and stripped. That’s what you want. However, you seem to be in an editing screen or something. Just use the “Pin” link under the image on the product page. Or grab the very simple URL of the product page.
I was able to access it before BUT now I can no longer get into it because it says I have to sign into Google. I haven’t had any Google accounts for several years. Zazzle needs to fix that.
You only earn the 35% referral fee when someone clicks your “clean” promoter referral link and buys your product. If they click that same link and buy someone else’s product you will get a zero referral showing if you have the Zazzle earnings app. You should also get an email showing the zero referral. You will only see an uptick in your earnings history corresponding to those zeros in your desktop version of Zazzle.
You will have to manually add your referral id back onto any promotional links that you want to use for other peoples products if you would like to be a general affiliate for those items. That link will still work as usual so if someone comes in on that link and buys any product you will earn 15% (even if it is your own product so old links will still work like that if you don’t go in and strip your referral ID).
You want to stay enrolled in the associates program. That is what allows you to get referrals in both the regular affiliate program and the promoter program.
It is really nice when you catch those promoter referrals!
THANK YOU. You’re a sweetheart.
I’m bookmarking it and getting rid of the other link I had.
I have never heard of the Zazzle Earnings app before. Just checked it. It has a 1.7 review rating and the last version bug fix was 2 years ago. I’m assuming it’s working well for you? Since I haven’t had a zero email in a while I was considering downloading it.
Yes, the earnings app works fine for me. I am on IOS so I am not sure if it works well on Android or not, but it is just a very basic app with earnings, royalties, and payouts. No real filters or anything like that, but I like it because I can just give it a quick check to see if I sold anything or if anything was cancelled.
