The Best Affiliate Marketing Programs For Influencers

Swipe-ups, stickers, links in the bio. We have all seen affiliate marketing at work.

The commission-based model is one of the easiest and most accessible ways influencers can make money: share a trackable link to a product or service and get a percentage of the revenue.

Sydney Bradley and I highlighted the best affiliate marketing networks to be used by influencers in 2021.

Here’s a look at some of the programs that have caught on thanks to high commission rates, access to top brands, and robust interfaces and tools:

  • the Amazon influencer program is characterized by the fact that YouTubers work with the world’s largest retailer and have access to a wide range of tools.

  • LTK (formerly LIKEtoKNOW.it and BelohnungStyle) gives influencers a custom url and an in-app page called “LTK Shop” where they can compile a shopping list of their affiliate links for followers.

  • MagicLinks offers the possibility of affiliate marketing via text messages.

Here is the full list of the top programs for influencers.

Inside TikTok: How ByteDance’s Culture Principles are Used to Reward and Blame

Every tech startup has its own culture, and we got a glimpse of TikTok’s. The employees of the video app must adhere to a series of six workplace principles – so-called “ByteStyles” – which were written by their parent company ByteDance.

Company rules are often quite broad, such as “be grounded and brave” and “be open and humble”.

Internally, employees use ByteStyles to highlight what the company thinks is good or bad in employee reviews, wrote my colleague Dan Whateley.

While adhering to ByteStyles can result in gifts or awards, failure to follow cultural principles can lead to discipline.

Their openness can be frustrating when applied to specific work situations, according to four current and former TikTok employees. Sometimes ByteStyles are used as a general warning to employees about behavior that the company does not like.

“‘That’s not ByteStyles!’ is like so general, but thrown around [when] Everyone does things that the other doesn’t like, “a current TikTok employee told Insider.
