Thank you for your interest in partnering with us! Our affiliate partner program is by application only. For more details on how to apply, please visit our affiliate program information page.

1. Log in to our affiliate dashboard. (When your affiliate partner application was approved, we sent you a welcome email containing your login information. If you don’t remember your login, follow the instructions on this page to reset it.)
2. Click “Promotions” in the left-hand column of the page.
3. Click “Banners & Links.”
4. In the search bar, type in the name of the course you want to promote and then hit “Search.”
5. You will see all of the available promotional opportunities for that particular course when you scroll down.
6. Most courses have at least one free opt-in opportunity in addition to the sales page.
7. Copy your UNIQUE AFFILIATE URL by clicking the link icon under the opportunity you would like to promote (“Banner” is another word for “Affiliate Link”).
8. You can also copy the QR code if you prefer.

Here’s a short video walk-through of the steps outlined above:

IMPORTANT: You must use your unique affiliate link EXACTLY as it is. If you make any modifications to the link, tracking will break and we will be unable to credit any course sales you refer back to you. We highly recommend testing your affiliate link before you use it in any promotions.

Follow the steps below in order to determine whether or not your link is working by checking clicks:

1. Opt in or navigate to the sales page using your UNIQUE AFFILIATE LINK.
2. Wait 5–10 minutes for the click to register.
3. Click “Reports” in the left-hand column of the page.
4. Click “Clicks List.”
5. Search by Campaign or look for a click occurring at the same time you tested.

Here’s how to track your results:

1. Log in to our affiliate dashboard.
2. Click “Reports.”
3. Click “Commissions.”
4. “Quick Stats” is a great place to see your affiliate activity at a glance: Clicks, Sales, and Commissions.
5. For more detailed data, click the “Commissions” option under the “Reports” tab in the left-hand column.
6. In the “Type” column, you will be able to see how many Opt-ins vs. Sales you have generated. We do not offer commissions on opt-ins, which is why the Commission and Total Costs columns for opt-ins are $0.00. If a sale was refunded, you will not receive commission for that sale.

With the exception of in-depth learning courses like the Inner MBA® program and The Mindfulness Meditation Teacher Certification Program (MMTCP), we are currently paying our affiliates 45–60 days from the end of the month in which the affiliate activity occurred.

So, for example, activity occurring in April will be paid between June 15–30.

The date you see outlined in red below is the date that we pull the information from our system, NOT the date you will be paid.

IMPORTANT: Our affiliate platform, Post Affiliate Pro (PAP), will send you a notice once a month that your affiliate commission has been “Paid.” However, the commission will not have actually been paid to you yet. This “Paid” status in PAP simply means our accounting department has been notified by PAP that you are due to be paid out. There is still further processing that takes place on our end before you will receive your payment. So, if you receive this notice, it’s simply an indication that your previous month’s commission is being processed.

For US-based individuals and organizations, affiliate commission will only be paid once $100 or more commission has been accrued.

For non-US-based individuals and organizations, affiliate commission will only be paid once $500 or more commission has been accrued. Payment will be made via wire transfer and will incur a $50 processing fee.

TAX INFORMATION REQUIRED BEFORE PAYMENT: Before we can pay your affiliate commission, we must have ONE of the following on file:

US-based businesses, individuals, or nonprofits: signed W-9

Non-US-based businesses or individuals: signed W-8BEN

Non-US-based nonprofits: signed W-8BEN-E

You would have been asked to provide this tax form when you first applied to our affiliate program. If you’re unsure if you provided it or want to update your name or address, please contact us at affiliate@soundstrue.com.

We are a “first cookie” affiliate program.

For example, if an individual first opts in for a piece of launch content from Affiliate A but then later purchases the course using a link belonging to Affiliate B, then Affiliate A—the affiliate who initially referred the person—will receive the affiliate commission.

For this reason, it’s best to promote for one of our launches as early as possible to make sure anyone you refer will be attributed to you regardless of if they end up purchasing through another affiliate later on.

It depends on the product. For products listed on our Sounds True store (evergreen courses), your tracking links expire after one year. For offers such as an online course launch, these links are tracked for two months (60 days).

Yes—you will earn affiliate commission on all sales that occur within 60 days of the person you referred clicking on your affiliate link. These additional sales will show up as “Sounds True Homepage” on your affiliate invoice.

The exception is if the person you refer signs up for a Sounds True in-person event—we do not pay affiliate commission on in-person event ticket sales.
