Affiliate Tracking for Influencer Partnerships

Influencer marketing works best when you can measure real revenue impact, not just impressions and clicks. Trackli turns influencer partnerships into tracked affiliate relationships, so you know exactly which influencers drive paying customers and how much revenue each partnership generates.

How to Set Up Influencer Programs Affiliate Tracking

Get up and running in minutes with these simple steps.

1

Onboard Influencers as Affiliates

Create VIP affiliate accounts for influencers with higher commission rates and custom terms. Provide white-glove onboarding through Trackli's portal.

2

Generate Multi-Channel Links

Create separate tracking links for each influencer's channels — YouTube descriptions, Twitter bio, newsletter, podcast show notes — to measure per-channel effectiveness.

3

Set Up Promo Code Attribution

Create memorable promo codes for influencers to use in video and podcast mentions. SARAH20 or TECHGUY are more effective than generic affiliate links in spoken content.

4

Configure Influencer-Tier Commissions

Set premium commission rates for influencers who drive high-volume, high-quality traffic. Tiered rates incentivize continued promotion.

5

Measure Revenue Per Influencer

Track total revenue attributed to each influencer, not just clicks and signups. Compare influencer ROI against other marketing channels.

How It Works

From referral link to commission payout — fully automated with Influencer Programs.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I track which influencer channels drive the most revenue?
Create separate tracking links for each influencer's channels in Trackli. One link for their YouTube description, another for their newsletter, and a promo code for podcast mentions. Trackli shows revenue per link so you can see which channels perform best.
Should I pay influencers flat fees or commissions?
Commission-based influencer partnerships align incentives better than flat fees. With Trackli, you can offer a hybrid: a small upfront fee plus ongoing commissions. This reduces influencer risk while ensuring you pay proportionally to results.
How do promo codes work for podcast and video influencers?
Create memorable promo codes like CREATOR25 that influencers mention in their content. When a listener or viewer uses the code at checkout, Trackli attributes the sale to that influencer. This works where clickable links don't — in spoken content.
Can I track individual sponsored posts or videos?
Yes. Generate a unique tracking link for each sponsored piece of content. This lets you measure the ROI of individual videos, blog posts, or newsletter mentions rather than just aggregate influencer performance.
How do I set up VIP terms for high-value influencers?
Trackli supports custom commission tiers. Create a VIP tier with higher commission rates, longer cookie durations, and priority payout schedules. Assign high-value influencers to this tier for premium treatment.
