To promote programs and earn commissions on Affilae, you first create your account, then your publisher profile. For the profile, you just paste your website address: Affilae’s AI analyzes it and pre-fills the form, which you review before validating.

Note: an account and a profile are not the same thing. The account is your login: an email, a password. The profile presents your website to brands. One account can have several profiles: if you run two blogs on different topics, you create two profiles, with a single login.

1. Create your account

  1. On the login page, click Join us.
  2. On the Welcome to Affilae page, choose the I am a publisher card: it is meant for those who run a website, a blog or a comparison site.
  3. Click Sign up with email, or sign up with Instagram, Apple or TikTok.
  4. Fill in every field: first name, last name, Email, phone, Password and Confirm Password.
  5. Choose a password of at least 9 characters, with an uppercase letter, a number and a special character. Each rule is checked live as you type.
  6. Tick the box accepting the general conditions and the data protection agreement, then click Create account.
Are you a content creator? if you mainly publish on social networks, the I am a content creator card is for you: content creator accounts can only be created from the Affilae mobile app.

Confirm your email, then secure your login

You receive an email titled Welcome to Affilae! Confirm your email address. Open it and click Validate my email. Then set up multi-factor authentication, which is mandatory: it verifies your identity with a 4-digit code, received by email or text message.

2. Create your publisher profile

  1. On the Create your profile screen, paste your website address in the Enter your social profile or website URL field. A social network address works too: Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Pinterest, Facebook, LinkedIn or X.
  2. Click Analyze my profile. The AI analysis takes a few seconds.
  3. The Create your profile form opens, marked Pre-filled by Affilae. Review and validate. In step 1, check the Profile name, Country, Currency, Categories (1 to 5), Short description (150 characters maximum) and Description (2,000 characters maximum), then click Continue.
  4. In step 2, check the Affiliate type (asked for a website, deduced automatically for a social network), the Content formats, the Targeting (1 to 3 personas, the first being your main target) and your Social networks (optional). Previous takes you back to step 1.
  5. Click Validate and continue: your profile is created.
Note: the AI pre-fills the form, but nothing is set in stone. You review and edit every field before validating.

Depending on your profile’s review, one of these two screens appears:

  • Your profile has been created successfully!: your profile is already validated, and Affilae immediately suggests your first program recommendations.
  • Your profile is being reviewed: you can use Affilae right away, to generate your links and apply to programs. Our team simply reviews your profile before making it visible in Match AI, where advertisers discover new partners. You will be notified as soon as it is added.

3. Add more profiles

You can add a profile at any time, with the same account. Open My account, the block at the bottom of the sidebar, then Profiles overview, and click Add profile. You go through the same steps: the address, the AI analysis, then the two-step form.

Note: the Add profile button only appears once your business details and payment information are filled in. Until then, the Finish Your Setup message is displayed instead.

Why create a publisher profile

  • Apply to brands’ programs and build partnerships.
  • Get spotted by advertisers in Match AI, which matches your profile with the programs that suit it.
  • Generate tracked links and earn commissions on the sales or leads you bring.
  • Manage several audiences from a single login, with a dedicated profile for each.

Best practices

  • Take care of your descriptions: advertisers read them, and they make your recommendations more accurate.
  • Fill in your content formats and targeting: the more precise your profile, the better it is matched with the right programs.
  • Review what the AI pre-filled before validating: correct the name, country or categories if needed.
Tip: create one profile per distinct audience. If you run several websites on different topics, a dedicated profile for each gives advertisers a clearer listing, all from a single login.

Use cases

  • A single blog: you run a travel website. You create one profile, with the Travel category and a description of your editorial line.
  • Several topics: you run a cooking blog and a home decor blog. You create two profiles under the same account, each with its own categories.
  • A content creator: you mainly publish on Instagram or TikTok. You sign up from the Affilae mobile app, with the “I am a content creator” card.
