01

What an affiliate program is — and why you are here

You bring interested people to a product, and the platform shares part of the revenue generated by their activity.

Here, the product is financial: people register and trade. You do not sell it manually. You publish advertising or content and earn commission when the users you referred become active.

More than 20,000 partners work with the program around the world. Payments are transparent and available through several payment channels.
1

You publish

Create an affiliate link and place it on TikTok, YouTube, Telegram, or another channel.

2

A person acts

They follow the link, register, fund their account, and start trading.

3

You earn commission

The platform tracks the referred trader's activity and calculates your share.

02

How it works — with numbers

Kate published a TikTok video. Here is the result without complicated math.

$900 is an educational example, not an income promise. Actual commission depends on program terms and referred-user activity.

04

Three ways to start — choose yours

The best channel is not the trendiest one. It is the one that fits your resources today.

05

Beginner concerns are normal

Open a question to see the next safe step.

“I have never run advertising”

Start with free content and one template. The next lessons will break down your first creative step by step.

“What if I waste my budget?”

Do not begin with a large budget. Set a single-test limit, use a demo account when demonstrating the product, and show your plan to a support agent.

“I have no ideas”

Use one ready-made campaign: a specific traffic source, one creative, and one clear offer. Examples and templates will be covered in a separate lesson.

06

Your first mini-task

Choose a name for your future campaign and one traffic source. You will create the actual campaign and affiliate link later in the partner dashboard.
