Hi there, and thanks for your interest in promoting Apipheny, a Google Sheets add-on. We look forward to working with you to create a win-win situation for everyone.
Here’s the 4 easy steps to become an affiliate and make money promoting Apipheny to your audience:
- Sign up for the AppSumo affiliate program
- Wait to get accepted into the AppSumo affiliate program
- Once accepted, create a tracking link for the Apipheny lifetime deal
- Promote the Apipheny lifetime deal with your tracking link
Below, we cover each of these steps in more detail.
Step 1.) Apply to become an AppSumo Affiliate
AppSumo is a popular software deals site. Please sign up as an AppSumo affiliate to promote Apipheny.
AppSumo is where our lifetime deal is hosted, which is our most popular pricing plan. Most of our paying users sign up for our lifetime deal, so it makes sense to focus on promoting the lifetime deal instead of our monthly or yearly plan.
To track clicks and make a commission from referring users to our lifetime deal, you will need to sign up to be an AppSumo Affiliate. Click here to sign up to become an AppSumo affiliate. When you apply, in the description you can mention that you’re signing up to promote the Apipheny AppSumo deal to your audience.
Payouts & Commission
According to the current AppSumo affiliate program terms, you will “earn 100% of sale when you refer a new AppSumo customer, and up to 5% on sales to existing customers* (capped at $50/order).“
What this means is that when you get accepted into their program at these terms, you will earn $50 (100% of sale, capped at $50) when you refer a new AppSumo customer who buys the Apipheny lifetime deal, and you will earn 5% of the sale when an existing AppSumo customer buys the Apipheny LTD.
What’s great about signing up for their affiliate program is that you’ll be able to make money from promoting other AppSumo products too, not just Apipheny. Your audience/users who click on your link may also purchase AppSumo deals other than Apipheny.
So even if users you refer to AppSumo don’t purchase the Apipheny deal, they might still buy something else from AppSumo which will earn you a commission. They don’t need to buy the specific product you linked in order for you to earn a commission, they can buy a different product and you will still earn a commission.
Step 2.) Wait to get accepted
When we applied to the AppSumo affiliate program, we got accepted within 24 hours. This timeline might be the same or different for you.
If you don’t hear back from them in a few days, reach out to their team to ask about the status of your application. We at Apipheny don’t have any control over this part of the process.
After you get accepted into the affiliate program, your next step is to log in to your affiliate dashboard and create a tracking link.
Step 3.) Log in and create a tracking link
The AppSumo affiliate program is hosted at Impact.com, a popular affiliate management platform. Once you’re approved and accepted into the AppSumo affiliate program, log in to your Impact account and create a tracking link for Apipheny.
Here’s the steps to create a tracking link:
A.) Sign in to Impact.com
B.) Click the small “Link” icon in the panel on the left side of the screen:
C.) In the next panel that pops up, enter the following URL and then click “Create”:
https://appsumo.com/apipheny/
D.) Directly below the “Create” button, you will see your new tracking link created. Click on the URL to copy it.
Step 4.) Test your link and then promote it
To test your tracking link, simply click on or visit the link in your own browser. If you visit your own tracking link, after a few hours you should see your click(s) show up on your Impact Dashboard.
Once you confirm your link is working, you can start promoting the Apipheny Lifetime Deal to your audience.
Please contact us if you need any help with messaging/copy or graphics, logos, etc.
Step 5.) That’s it!
You’ve successfully joined the AppSumo affiliate program and you now have a tracking link to promote Apipheny and track your referrals. You can follow step 3c above to create tracking links for other AppSumo products too.
In your Impact dashboard, you will be able to track Clicks, Actions (sales), Payouts (your commissions), Sale Amount (total revenue generated from your referrals), Conversion Rate, and EPC (earnings per click).
Don’t forget to enter your payment and bank account information in your Impact account’s settings, so you can get paid.
Thanks again for joining the Apipheny affiliate program and please let us know if you have any questions!
