3. Copy Your Affiliate Link:
   • Find the course you want to share.
   • Copy the unique link associated with that course.
4. Share the Link:
   • Send the link to someone who is interested in learning with SVFF.

Gumroad Affiliate Program

• Tracking Purchases:
  Gumroad uses browser cookies to track purchases made through your affiliate links. These cookies are valid for 7 days, meaning you’ll be credited if a purchase is made within this period.

Sticky Affiliate Links

• Why Use Sticky Links?
  Standard affiliate links rely on cookies, which some browsers block. If this happens, you won’t be credited for the sale. To avoid this, use a "sticky" affiliate URL to help ensure you get credited.
• Creating a Sticky Affiliate Link:
  • Format:
    https://gumroad.com/l/:product_permalink?affiliate_id=<affiliate_id>
  • Example:
    If your standard affiliate link is https://gumroad.com/a/1234567 and it redirects to https://gumroad.com/l/abcxyz, your sticky link would be:
    https://gumroad.com/l/abcxyz?affiliate_id=1234567
• Note:
  You must share the correct affiliate link to receive credit. Incorrect links or shortened product links without your affiliate ID won’t earn you a commission.

Getting Paid for Your Affiliate Sales

• Payment Process:
  Gumroad pays affiliates in the same way it pays creators. Once your payout details are set up, you’ll receive automatic payments, usually processed weekly or monthly.
• Membership Products:
  If you help sell a membership product with recurring charges, you’ll receive a portion of each payment made by the customer.
• Refunds:
  If a customer requests a refund, you’ll lose your commission for that sale. If you’ve already been paid, the refunded amount will be deducted from your balance, which could go negative.

Integrating Affiliate Links into Your Website

• Using Widgets:
  You can integrate affiliate links directly into your website using Gumroad’s widget codes. This is a convenient way to promote products and track sales from your site.
• Link Shortening:
  You can use link shorteners like bit.ly to customize your affiliate links. Just ensure the shortened link still points to your correct affiliate URL.

Verifying Your Affiliate Link

• How to Check:
  To ensure your affiliate link is working, click on it and check for the _gumroad_affiliate_id_ cookie in your browser’s developer tools. This confirms that the link is correctly tracking sales.
