Pre-launch set-up
Start with setting clear goals and KPIs, set a timeframe for their achievement. Think about the reward system: a certain percentage of sale or a flat rate per order, various rates for recurring lead actions and performance-based incentives – fair rewards are among top decision-making factors for publishers.
Terms and tech
Prepare clear terms of service: include description of the types of partners you are interested in, regions you are after, payment information, banned traffic types etc.. Next comes the technical part. Integrating your website with affiliate marketing software is essential – it automatically tracks clicks, sales, and commissions, ensuring accurate payouts and performance monitoring.
Final steps
Branded sign-up pages increase new affiliate applications by 42% so make sure your affiliate portal contains the program’s description, appealing welcome message and terms of services. Don’t forget to add a good variety of promo materials.
The launch day
Ensure that your existing partners have successfully registered on the platform or manually transfer their accounts. To attract new partners, prepare an appealing landing page in advance and follow the instructions in the full Tapfiliate checklist so that every potential partner quickly learns about your program.
Focus on the best partners
The “more is better” strategy no longer works. Brands focus on close collaboration with the most active partners rather than mass recruitment. According to Tapfiliate, the top 15% partners currently account for over 85% of sales. Brands that focused on the best-performing partners saw their sales increase by 15-17% in 2025.
