How to earn your first commission?

Joining Reditus is free for affiliates. You get one personal link slug that works across every program you join, and one dashboard for all your programs, links and earnings. These steps take you from signup to your first payout.

1. Sign up as an affiliate

Create your free account on the affiliate signup page. You can also log in with Google. Signing up as an affiliate walks you through it.

2. Confirm your email address

Confirm your email address with the email we send you. We also use this address to tell you about new referrals and commissions. Nothing arrived? Check your spam folder, and if it still isn't there, ask us in the chat.

3. Add your payout method

In your payment settings, choose how you want to be paid: PayPal, Wise or IBAN bank transfer (European bank accounts only). You can change it any time. Reditus can't pay you without a payout method, so add it now and nothing holds up your first payout. More in When and how affiliates get paid.

4. Join SaaS affiliate programs

Browse the marketplace and filter on auto-accept, industry, commission percentage and commission length, including lifetime programs. Programs with auto-accept approve you right away. Other programs review your application themselves, so answer their application questions fully.

Connect Google Analytics or YouTube: your applications then show your connected data, which proves you own the channel and shows where your traffic comes from. Programs vet on where your traffic is, not where you live.

Not every program is listed publicly. If a SaaS company sent you its own link, join through that link.

5. Share your affiliate link

Once a program accepts you, your link is under Links in the left menu of your dashboard. It is the company's website address followed by ?red= and your slug, for example example.com/?red=yourname.

Put it where your audience already reads, watches or follows you:

• your newsletter
• your blog posts, new and existing
• your social profiles and posts
• your YouTube videos

Add a sub ID to your link to see which channel performs best: everything about sub IDs.

Did someone sign up without your link? You can import the referral as a request that the SaaS company accepts or rejects: manually uploading a referral.

6. Follow your referrals

Someone who signs up through your link becomes your referral, and we email you about new referrals and commissions. You earn when the referral becomes a paying customer. How to see your performance as an affiliate explains each stage.

7. Get your first payout

Commissions you earn in a month go into a payout on the 1st of the following month, per program, once your commissions in that program pass its payout threshold. Reditus pays you once the SaaS company has paid Reditus, before the end of that month.

How long does it take? With an existing audience, affiliates typically see their first revenue within 1 to 3 months.

Optional: create a vetted profile

A vetted profile lets SaaS companies find and contact you. You connect Google Analytics, YouTube or LinkedIn and apply, and the Reditus team reviews your profile. Approved profiles join the vetted affiliate database, where SaaS companies on the Scale Up and Enterprise plans can find you. How to create an affiliate profile.
