For creators & influencers

Get paid for the products you already recommend

You do not need a website, a media kit or a hundred thousand followers. You need one account that is already approved on the brands your audience buys, and one payout instead of chasing five.

The problem

Most creators are declined before they start

This is not a confidence issue. It is a structural one, and it is the reason sub-affiliate networks exist at all.

  1. 01

    The form asks for a website

    Networks were built for publishers with domains, so the application asks for a URL and traffic stats. A creator with 40,000 engaged followers on TikTok has neither, and is declined by a form rather than by a person.

  2. 02

    The best programs are invite-only

    The brands with the strongest audience pull are frequently the hardest to join. Applying individually to an invite-only program is usually a dead end no matter how good your content is.

  3. 03

    Five accounts, five thresholds

    Even when you do get approved, each network holds its own balance with its own minimum. You end up with $30 stranded in four places and nothing you can withdraw.

Everything below this line is what we do about it.

What you get

One approval. Every program. One balance.

  • 1,000 followers on one channel is the whole entry requirement, and above it applications are reviewed on content quality and traffic source, not audience size
  • No separate approval for each brand, including programs that are invite-only when you apply alone
  • Deep link to any product page on any approved advertiser, not just to homepages
  • Up to five sub-IDs per link so you can prove which platform, post and format actually converts
  • Cross-device tracking on every program that supports it, so a mobile click and a desktop purchase still pay
  • Validated earnings shown by default, so you are never planning against numbers that will be clawed back
  • One balance across every network, withdrawn from $100 on seven different rails

On the network

Creators already running on LinkApprove

Not stock photography, and not personas. Each card is a real partner account. That creator's own profile picture, a still from their own feed, and a link straight to the profile it came from.

You will notice there are no testimonials, no earnings screenshots and no follower counts. We have not asked these creators to endorse us, so we are not going to write words and put them in their mouths, and a follower count printed on a page that never refreshes is wrong the week after it ships. The beat under each name is compressed from that creator’s own bio. This is a roster, not a testimonial wall, and every line on it is one click from being checked.

influencers have already joined. The cards above are the ones who agreed to be named.

Worked examples

What the same thousand clicks are worth

We have no permissioned creator case studies yet and we are not going to invent any. So here is the next most useful thing: three real programs from our directory, run on identical traffic, with every number shown.

    Beauty converts at multiples of every other vertical because the purchase is low-risk and often repeated. The rate is the highest of the three and it still finishes last, basket size is doing more work than the headline percentage.

    Nine orders beat twenty-four. Home is the highest-consideration vertical on the site, so the click-to-order rate is the worst of the three, and the basket more than repays it. This is the case for content that answers a decision rather than prompting an impulse.

    The strongest result of the three, on a cookie window less than half as long. Anyone who takes two weeks to decide is not counted here at all, which is why posting close to the moment of intent matters more in fashion than the rate ever will.

How to read these

These are modelled scenarios, not customer results. Nobody in this section is a real LinkApprove partner and no figure here is anyone’s reported earnings. The commission rate, average order value and cookie window on each card are the published figures from that program’s page in our directory; the 90% revenue share is our standard top-tier term. The click volume and conversion rate are assumptions, marked as such, chosen so all three run on identical traffic and the comparison means something. Everything else is arithmetic over those inputs.

Named creator case studies with real reported figures will appear here when partners agree to be featured. We would rather show you the arithmetic than invent a person.

Fit matters more than rate

The highest commission is rarely the most profitable

A 4% program on a $400 basket pays more than a 10% program on a $50 one, and a 24-hour cookie window will lose you money no matter what the rate is. Every program page in our directory states both.

How approval works

Apply once, not once per brand

Applying to programs individually means a separate review, a separate threshold and a separate payout for every brand you promote. This is the difference.

Applying directly

4 applications · 4 thresholds

  • Fashion brand$100 min
  • Beauty brand$100 min
  • Home brand$100 min
  • Travel brand$100 min

Four separate balances, each with its own minimum to clear before any of it pays out. Earn $40 at each and none of it is payable.

Via LinkApprove

1 application · 1 threshold

  • Fashion brand
  • Beauty brand
  • Home brand
  • Travel brand
One balance$100 minimum

The same $160 sits in one balance and is payable, because there is one threshold rather than four.

Reporting that splits by source

Most creators discover that one format carries their revenue and the rest is noise. You cannot act on that without sub-ID level reporting, so it is standard on every account.

FAQ

Creator questions

What is LinkApprove?

LinkApprove is a sub-affiliate network and creator monetization platform. It gives influencers, publishers and media partners one account with access to affiliate programs across every major affiliate network, with consolidated tracking, deep linking and a single payout instead of a separate account and payment threshold for every network.

How is a sub-affiliate network different from an affiliate network?

An affiliate network contracts directly with brands and provides the tracking infrastructure. A sub-affiliate network is itself an approved publisher on those networks and redistributes that access to partners who would not be approved individually. LinkApprove holds the upstream relationships, so a creator promotes an invite-only program under LinkApprove's approval rather than applying cold and being declined.

Does it cost anything to join LinkApprove?

No. Joining LinkApprove is free for creators and publishers. There is no monthly fee and no minimum spend. LinkApprove earns by retaining a share of the commission an advertiser pays on sales you generate; if you earn nothing, you pay nothing.

Who can join as a partner?

Creators, publishers, content sites, newsletters, apps, comparison sites and media partners can all apply. You need at least 1,000 followers on one channel to open an account. Above that line applications are reviewed for traffic quality and content fit rather than audience size, and partners in every country are accepted, though the programs available to you depend on where your audience is located.

What traffic sources are allowed?

Social media, short-form video, blogs and content sites, email to opted-in lists, newsletters, apps and comparison content are all permitted. Paid search on advertiser brand terms, trademark bidding, is prohibited across almost every program. Incentivised traffic, cashback and adult, political or misleading content are not accepted.

How long does approval take?

Partner applications are typically reviewed within two business days. Once approved you have immediate access to the program directory, and most advertisers within it require no separate application because LinkApprove is already approved on them.

Why was my application declined?

The most common reasons are content that cannot be matched to any advertiser in the directory, traffic sources we do not accept, or a channel with no published content at the time of review. A decline is not permanent, if you were rejected for thin content and have since published, reapplying is fine. We do not decline for audience size.

Do I need a website to join LinkApprove?

No. A website is not required. Social profiles, short-form video channels, newsletters and apps are all accepted, and the absence of a domain is the specific gap this network exists to close. Most direct affiliate applications require one.

Can I still work with affiliate networks directly?

Yes. Joining LinkApprove is not exclusive and does not restrict you from holding your own accounts elsewhere. If you are already approved directly on a program and happy with the terms, run it directly. You keep the full commission that way. LinkApprove is worth using where you would not be approved, or where consolidating many programs into one payout is worth more than the margin.

Does LinkApprove have a mobile app?

Not yet. The mobile app is in development and the platform is web-only today. The app store badges in our footer read 'coming soon' rather than linking to listings, because those listings do not exist yet.

Your next post can pay

Free to join, no exclusivity, and no minimum audience. Approval decisions usually land within two business days.
