Are You A CommentLuv Affiliate Yet?
One of the often overlooked benefits of your CommentLuv membership is the fantastic affiliate program we have here. There is no minimum payout for the program and it’s super simple to join. You might not be familiar with the CommentLuv Affiliate program so let me give you some of the details.
What is the CommentLuv Affiliate Program
The CommentLuv Affiliate program works like this: you get an affiliate link from your profile page here on ComLuv.com. You take the link and use it in blog post about CommentLuv, or add it to your blog roll or – and this is the one I want to talk more about – you can grab one of the lovely CommentLuv badges designed by Byteful Travel and add it to your sidebar. Now some of you have the banners up already, so why not just set it up with your affiliate and earn some CommentLuv credits.
Oh sorry, I got ahead of myself just then, now let’s get back to understanding how the affiliate program works. Once you have the link somewhere on your blog, whenever a new ComLuv member signs up with that link, they will be one of your referrals. If that person ever buys any ComLuv credits, you’ll get credits too!
How Do I Register as a CommentLuv Affiliate?
It’s a no-brainer right? You love CommentLuv, you want your friends to have CommentLuv on their blogs, you want to earn some CommentLuv credits so you can be featured on the home page….the list of reasons to be an affiliate go on and on don’t they? So without further adieu (yes I spelled that correctly) here’s how to activate your CommentLuv Affiliate account on ComLuv.com
COMMENTLUV AFFILIATE SETTINGS
Log in to your dashboard and go to your profile, scroll down to the Affiliate settings and say Yes Please to Enable Affiliate links:
- Fill in your proper paypal email address
- Type in the url of your blog
- Copy and save your CommentLuv Affiliate link
That’s it! You’re done.
Well not exactly, you still have one more thing to do and I’ll demonstrate in this screencast how ease it is to add the banner to your sidebar. This demo involves a little bit of code but don’t worry, it’s not really all that technical and it’s even easier than installing the CommentLuv Plugin on Blogger or even WordPress for that matter.
Here’s the code you need to add to the badge in order to create the link, just remember to replace YOURREF with your CommentLuv Affiliate code.
<a href=”http://comluv.com/?ref=YOURREF“>
Now you can show off your support for the CommentLuv community right on your sidebar and possible earn some extra ComLuv credits from the CommentLuv Affiliate program.

Hi Eric,
That’s an excellent question! Once you get to your dashboard, navigate to “Your Profile”, which is on the left hand side. Scroll down the page and you will see “Affiliate Settings” like in the screenshot above.
If you get lost, just have a look at the video again and that way you can follow along.
Let me know if you still need a hand.
Thanks.

So this is definitely something that was needed. Thank you for posting for us.
I’ve resolved to learn and apply more productive and useful tools this year in all areas of my life. I know you’ll make sure it applies to my blogging lifestyle too.

Hello there,
Thank you so much for this article, it is very helpful!
I have just enabled my affiliate programme, and am now attempting to add the widget to my website and for reason the full link is not working.
As you probably notice when you visit my website and see the badge, it re-directs to my website for some reason?
What do you think is missing?
Love

Hi Trulyana,
Thanks for adding the banner to your blog. Here’s where you went wrong. You added too much code to the banner. Looks like you added this : http://www.crafting-insights.com/fire-and-vision/“http:/comluv.com/Trulyana-8414″
Try it again by adding just this
Just a note of caution: Please verify from your CommentLuv Affiliate settings that Trylyana-8414 is your affiliate code.
Let me know when you’re all done and I’ll give it a test for you.

Thanks Ileane, I figured it out and was able to add a button to my site.
Just to let you know, your video plays just fine, what I meant to say was that during the video your cursor goes off the screen and clicks on something and then your screen changes to show all the buttons. You don’t mention what you clicked on or the location of that page (which is not Facebook) which is why I was confused.
Mahalo and thanks again!
