Advertisers Help

This page has a list of things needed for creating a campaign using the input boxes on the Create A Campaign Forms.

To create a campaign it is advisable that they be prepared and ready for completing the creation process.

Create a Campaign

  • Step 1: Create Campaign

    Campaign name

    This is the name that the advertiser uses to identify the campaign. It will also be the name that promoters will see.

    Description

    This should give enough detail of the campaign to help promoters decide if they will join.

    Logo

    Upload an image (jpeg or gif)to use as a logo for the campaign

    Categories

    Choose up to 5 categories for your campaign. This will help in targeting potential promoters who have indicated an interest in those categories.

    Destination URL

    This is the page that the campaign leads to. It could be a link to the sales page for a product, a lead capture page or an affiliate product page. If the URL is for an affiliate product the Affiliate ID will need to be included in the address.

  • Step 2: Set Effort Points

    Effort points are set by the Advertiser to encourage promoters to be active in different aspects of the campaign.

    An Advertiser can choose from these three Effort Point activities. They can opt to use 1, 2 or all 3 in a campaign.

    • Clicks: These are recorded when somebody views, and clicks the link on the unique landing page that the promoter is sharing.
    • Comments: When a comment is placed on the site(s) named by the Advertiser, and is approved as relevant, Effort points are awarded to the Promoter.
    • Backlinks: The Advertiser supplies a short ad and a site to link back to. Promoters adding this as a backlink will be awarded Effort points if these are approved.

    When creating a campaign the Advertiser is able to add weight to these 3 aspects by choosing a value from 1 to 10. A value of 10 will indicate the activity is highly valued by the Advertiser if any of the others have a lower value.

    At the end of a campaign the campaign rewards are shared between promoters based on their proportion of the total effort points generated in the campaign.

    Setting Effort Points

    Tick in any box to set Effort Points for that activity.

    A form for setting Effort Points will open when a box is ticked.
