Here are some more ways how adding an Easy Affiliate program to your online business can be particularly beneficial:
Low-Risk and Low Cost
Starting an Easy Affiliate Program is a budget-friendly marketing move for any business. Easy Affiliate can help skyrocket your return on investment (ROI) by saving you time and money.
Also, managing an Easy Affiliate program won’t tack on any extra work for you. Instead, your affiliates will do the busy work, such as writing blog articles and uploading social media posts.
At the very least, your business will profit from publicity without any upfront investment. Your only cost will be to pay affiliates a small commission fee after they’ve successfully referred sales to you. In other words, your affiliates only get paid when you do!
Direct Traffic to Your Site
An affiliate program with Easy Affiliate is an excellent way to drive new visitors to your site and build your online audience. By working with just one affiliate, you allow your product and brand to be exposed to a new audience. Just think of the level of visitors you’ll see on your site with multiple affiliates marketing to different audiences!
Boost Search Engine Rankings
Affiliate marketers have a knack for crafting excellent search engine optimization (SEO) content. They know all the secrets to using highly ranked keywords, writing detailed content, and how to update content to improve rankings over time.
Adding an Easy Affiliate program is a sure way that your brand will be found on the internet. Your brand identity will increase across all search engine platforms including blog pages, social media platforms, podcasts, and more.

Easy Affiliate’s Buzz-Worthy Features

- MemberPress is an excellent membership and LMS plugin you can use to track membership and online course sales.

- Easy Digital Downloads is a great plugin that will help you keep track of every digital download on your site.
Top-Notch Security
In the highly profitable world of affiliate marketing, there are malicious thieves and hackers who want to rob you of your earnings. Affiliate fraud is one of the biggest threats to any affiliate program. It’s the unscrupulous act to steal false commissions from an affiliate marketing program.
Fortunately, Easy Affiliate is the most secure affiliate plugin available. We utilize advanced security in the plugin to ensure commissions are tracked properly while stopping most forms of commission theft from the start. And with our Fraud Protection Add-On, your commissions will be accurately tracked and monitored to flag or reject suspicious affiliate behavior.
Personalized Affiliate Dashboard
Affiliates play a key role in the success of your affiliate program. So you want to provide them with the essential tools that will allow them to be successful with their marketing efforts. Easy Affiliate makes this easy to do with the Affiliate Dashboard.
The Affiliate Dashboard serves as the home base for your affiliates. Here, affiliates can manage their accounts to monitor their stats, edit their account information, view their payment history, and more:
Your affiliates will be able to access anything and everything they need, such as links and banner ads or pull from a collective resource hub:
The Affiliate Dashboard is pre-styled, but as the admin, you can easily modify the look of your site to match your brand’s identity– hassle free! Build a consistent feel of your brand with customizable color schemes, insert a page header logo, and even write a friendly welcome message for your affiliates:
Centralize all the working parts of your affiliate program into one, easy-to-navigate Affiliate Dashboard.
Affiliate Application Process
Enable Easy Affiliate’s built-in Affiliate Application process and require visitors to apply for your affiliate program before they become affiliates. You’ll have the ability to review each application and decide whether you want to approve, reject, or ignore a submission.
Requiring affiliates to apply to your program is a great way to ensure that they’re genuine and professional. In other words, this fraud-detection feature will keep scammers from signing up for your program.
Something else you may want to keep in mind when choosing an affiliate marketer, think of it as hiring an actual employee. There are certain qualities and things to look for before you just hand over your brand’s identity.
For example, you’ll most likely want an affiliate who has proven experience marketing to a large audience in your niche. Better determine an affiliate’s qualification by asking specific questions such as where and how the affiliate plans to promote your products or services.
An unqualified affiliate could poorly represent your brand and ultimately ruin your brand name. Remember, your affiliates reflect your business, your values, and you.
Controlled Commissions Tracking
To attract skilled affiliates, you’ll need to offer an appealing commission rate. Commission rates vary across different niche industries with many different factors taken into consideration, such as the price of a product, its value, and your audience.
Generally speaking, the average affiliate commission rate is between 5% to 30%. Physical products tend to have lower commission rates; whereas digital products (like memberships) are set at higher rates. It’s important that you do your research and take note of the commission rates offered by similar companies in your niche.
Easy Affiliate allows you to set your own commission rate — but the customization doesn’t stop there. You can also add multiple commission levels, override commission rates, and even create custom commission structures:
The Easy Affiliate Commission Levels Add-on is an extremely useful tool for creating a 2 tier affiliate program or a full-blown multi-level marketing platform (also referred to as network or pyramid marketing).
By enabling the Commission Levels Add-on, you’ll also have the ability to override commission rates. Manually issuing a commission override allows you to pay a specific affiliate (or a group of affiliates) a different commission rate than your other affiliates:
With the Easy Affiliate Pro version, you can use the Commission Rules Add-on to create custom commission structures based on product, the number of sales an affiliate has made, and more. Offering a way for affiliates to “unlock” different commission levels is a great way to encourage affiliates’ marketing efforts and reward those who have racked in a high number of sales.
Painless Payroll Process
Paying your affiliates is a critical part of any affiliate program. Easy Affiliate offers several simple ways to pay your affiliates, including PayPal Mass Payment files, PayPal One-Click payments, and offline payments.
We’ve made the payment process hassle-free. When using our One-Click PayPal payments, all you’ll need to do is log in once a month and review your affiliate’s activity, then click Pay. It’s that simple!
Unlike other affiliate program plugins, Easy Affiliate won’t surprise you with any hidden fees when it’s time to pay your affiliates – the way we think an affiliate program should be!
Custom Link Generator
Affiliate links are the cornerstone of affiliate marketing. An affiliate link is a unique URL that contains an affiliate’s information, such as their ID or username. The affiliate will use that link to promote your products or services in their marketing strategies.
With Easy Affiliate, your affiliates can create custom tracking links that will save their converted sales. Plus, with the built-in Pretty Links plugin, affiliates can also shorten their links to look nice, neat, and click-worthy.
Interactive Email Marketing
You and your affiliates are a team; and together, you are competing to win the hearts of paying customers. Like any successful team, you’ll need to communicate efficiently and effectively.
To do so, Easy Affiliate integrates with popular email marketing services, including MailChimp, ActiveCampaign, and ConvertKit. Corresponding with your affiliates via email is a great way to provide them with up-to-date business information, such as an upcoming sale or a new product release.
Easy Affiliate also has pre-designed email templates, making it easy to write and send auto-generated emails for situations like:
- A Welcome Email – to let affiliate applicants know that they have been accepted into your affiliate program.
- An Affiliate Sale Email – to notify affiliates when they have referred a sale and will receive a commission.
- An Admin Commission Email – to inform the business owner (you) that an affiliate has successfully referred a sale.

Great product, so excited for this!
Perfect timing! We’ve been considering launching an affiliate program to reward our members with a chance to earn a recurring commission, and to also get free marketing 😉
This looks like a great way to easily track affiliate sales, which has always felt like a headache to me (and prevented me from seriously considering having affiliates!).
We have been evaluating the creation of an affiliate program for some time and it seems to me that this new tool may be the push we need to make the decision to implement it!
I’ve often been an affiliate of other programs such as Amazon, so I’ve seen how powerful affiliate marketing can be. So it makes sense that adding it to our membership sites would benefit from the same increased revenue. Especially if it’s easy to setup.
I am wondering a bit about how the commission payments work related to taxes though. Does paying through Paypal alleviate the requirement of creating 1099s for affiliates that cross the $600 threshold? As I think Paypal also 1099’s people if they cross that threshold. Probably a better question for our tax advisors though.
Hi there! That’s a great question. This link to PayPal’s taxes FAQs might be helpful.
I love this product.
Sweet! I like that Memberpress continues its quest of making this plugin an all-in-one platform. I’ve been considering the Affiliate program for our membership site, now I know I’ll just have to turn to Memberpress for the right solution.
This is great! I’ve been thinking of adding affiliate program to my membership, and this is helpful.
I actually use this program and it is super easy to use and the support is awesome! Set it up in a day. Has worked very well for us.
As a web developer working on behalf of my client, I can’t wait to recommend this affiliate program to their marketing efforts. I’ve seen first-hand the power, reach and revenue a successful affiliate program can create and it’s great that this feature can be directly linked into the Memberpress platform!
I’ve been using Easy Affiliate for about 1-2 months now. I’m very impressed with the link tracking and the fact that you can create banners that affiliates can embed on their website using HMTL – it’s very exciting. The affiliate dashboard also makes my company look and feel very professional. It integrates nicely with our MemberPress too!
We’ve seen referrals go up since we’ve implemented Easy Affiliate so we are really quite happy.
The only downside for me is the ease of paying affiliates. The options are quite limited when it comes to choosing which affiliates to mass pay, which I hope they might improve in the future.
Thanks for the great feedback Erick.
We a small business that just launched our MemberPress site in July. We are looking for secure and easy affiliate marketing options, and this might be the perfect solution!
Ooo I love this! It looks much easier to use than some other affiliate plugins and it integrates with everything I’m already using!
As a small business owner with 2 Memberpress sites, I love the look of this – it integrates with all I use and looks straightforward to set up. Will be looking to get this when I’m ready to launch my affiliate program.
