How to Make Money As An Affiliate

Affiliates make money by referring their contacts to RedLightCenter. Every time one of your referrals upgrades to a VIP or UVIP account you earn 60% of that payment. 


We provide you with lots of different Promotional Tools which include banner ads, videos, email templates and landing pages. You can use one or all of these conversion tools on your own existing website, or you can create a new site just dedicated to promoting RedLightCenter. You can easily use one of our landing page templates and set up a domain to do this. 


There are many ways to refer members. Here are some ideas:

  • On your website: add banners, personal testimonials, videos and text links.
  • Email your contact list using our Email template or write something yourself
  • Posts to Social Media sites you frequent (don’t forget to use your unique tracking link)
  • Word-of-mouth is very effective

Affiliate FAQ


I REFERRED SOMEONE BUT DIDN'T GET PAID!

If you’ve recently referred a new member but did not receive revenues, here are some common reasons why:

  1. The new member has not upgraded to a VIP or UVIP membership. You will only earn money on upgrades from members you referred
  2. The new member did not sign up using your tracking link. If a new member signs up using a link that does not include your tracking code, there is no way for the system to know that it was you who referred them. Your tracking code is “?trq=” followed by your affiliate ID, and can be found at the end of the Affiliate Link provided on the Promotional Materials page of the Affiliate Site: https://www.redlightcenter.com/Affiliate3/creative.aspx
  3. The member signed up over 12 months ago. You will receive earnings from their upgrades for the first 12 months of their membership. After that, you will no longer receive earnings for their upgrades. If this is the reason for your drop in affiliate income, the best course of action is to refer more members. A steady stream of fresh members means more money for you!

If you have checked and none of these are the reason you did not receive a payout, please email [email protected].

 


MY PAYOUTS ARE GETTING SMALLER!

The most common reason for a drop in affiliate payouts for member rebills is members aging out of the program. When someone signs up through your tracking link, you will receive earnings from their upgrades for the first 12 months of their membership. After that, you will no longer receive earnings for their upgrades.

You may refer to section 4.2 of the Affiliate Agreement for more information: https://www.redlightcenter.com/legal/AffiliateAgreement.aspx 

If this is the reason for your drop in affiliate income, the best course of action is to refer more members. A steady stream of fresh members means more money for you!

If you’ve checked your stats and this is not the reason for your decline in revenues, please email [email protected].



I DON'T LIKE YOUR LANDING PAGE. CAN I USE CUSTOM LINKS?

You can use custom links to refer new signups as long as you include your tracking code on the end.

Your tracking code is “?trq=” followed by your affiliate ID, and can be found at the end of the Affiliate Link provided on the Promotional Materials page of the Affiliate Site: https://www.redlightcenter.com/Affiliate3/creative.aspx


Keep in mind that the current RLC landing page has the best conversion, so it’s best to use the standard link.


*The tracking code displayed is a test code and does not earn money. Please use your own code as provided through the Affiliate Program.
