Ask The Professor

Q: Can I join one of the paysites of my sponsor? If I sign up through my referrer ID, will I get credit for the sale?

A: I think it’s really important to sample the product in order to sell it better. However, I’m not too sure adult affiliate sponsors would want me to tell you it’s okay to pad your own account from your own pocket.

A lot of affiliates sign up for paysites directly through their own referrer ID. Still others follow the tour all the way to the join page and then back out before they’re charged. Some affiliates don’t even bother to explore the sign-up/membership process of the sponsor they’re promoting.

I would suggest you ask your sponsor if it’s all right to sign up for their paysite through your referrer ID.
