- For example, I have a campaign for a marketing eBook priced at $100, which I promote through affiliates.

Part 2: Setting Up a Coupon
Creating a Coupon for an Affiliate
- Selecting an Affiliate:
- Go to the Affiliates section.
- Choose an affiliate, for instance, Sam, who is popular on Instagram.
- Creating the Coupon:
- Navigate to Sam’s profile and select the relevant campaign.

- Enter 50% as the discount and click Save.
Part 3: Benefits of Using Coupons
Enhancing Affiliate Campaigns
- Motivating the Audience:
- By providing Sam with a unique coupon code, he can offer his followers a $50 discount on your eBook.
- This incentivizes his audience to purchase the eBook at a reduced price, increasing the likelihood of sales.
- Tracking and Crediting Sales:
- The unique coupon code tracks purchases made through Sam’s promotion, ensuring he gets the credit and commission.
- This method boosts the effectiveness of the campaign by directly linking sales to the affiliate’s efforts.
Step-by-Step Guide: Setting Up Coupons
Step 1: Access the Affiliate Manager
To begin, log into your HighLevel account and click on the Marketing tab in the left-hand menu. From there, select Affiliate Manager and navigate to Campaigns.
Step 2: Create or Select a Campaign
If you don’t already have an affiliate campaign set up, click on Add to create one. Here, you’ll need to add your product, select your affiliates, and decide on payout frequencies and commission types. For example, I have a campaign promoting a marketing eBook priced at $100.
Step 3: Set Up Affiliate Details
Within your campaign settings, name your campaign, select a funnel linked to your affiliate program, and decide on the commission structure, payout frequency, email templates, and cookie life. Ensure everything is tailored to your campaign’s needs.
Step 4: Create a Coupon for Your Affiliate
Go to the Affiliates section and select the affiliate you want to create a coupon for, such as Sam. Navigate to Sam’s profile and select the relevant campaign. Click on Add Coupon and name the coupon, for example, Sam50. Set the coupon code to Sam50 and choose the coupon type (percentage or fixed amount). For a 50% discount, select Percentage, enter 50%, and click Save.
Step 5: Utilize the Coupon
Share the unique coupon code with your affiliate. For example, Sam can promote the marketing eBook to his Instagram followers, offering a $50 discount using the code Sam50. This encourages more sales through a targeted discount strategy.
Conclusion
Setting up coupons in HighLevel’s Affiliate Manager is a powerful way to boost your affiliate campaigns. It provides an additional incentive for affiliates to promote your products and helps increase sales through targeted discounts.
