Referral link: What it is and how to get it

Referral links are links to the website of a given brand, which contain special parameters to track actions. Referral links can lead to homepages, products, or pages with new products or sales events.

Using the parameters in the referral link, ConvertSocial can determine that the user came to the brand's website and made an action specifically using your link. This means that the reward for it will be paid to you.

If you add generic links to your content, you won’t be rewarded because it’s impossible to identify who actually brought the user to the brand's website. This is why you should always use referral links.

 

First, add at least one social media profile to your ConvertSocial account to get a referral link. How to add a social media account.
