## Where to Find Your Referral Links
There are two primary ways to access your affiliate links depending on whether you want a quick overview or a program-specific deep dive.
* **The Easiest way, From the Dashboard:** Upon logging in, look at the **"Get started by creating your referral link"** section. Use the dropdown menu to select the specific program (e.g., "Your Online Shop" or "Your SaaS Program"). Your unique link will automatically appear in the "Shareable link" box.
* From the Programs Page:
1\. Click on Programs in the left-hand sidebar.\
2\. Click the View button on the program you wish to promote.\
3\. You will be taken to the Referral link & Assets tab where your link is displayed at the top.
**Pro Tip:** Click the **blue copy icon** next to the link to ensure you've captured the full URL with your tracking ID included.\
**Note:** a program marked **Inactive** with the label **Archived by advertiser** is no longer running. It stays in your list for reference, but the **View** button is disabled and its links, coupons and reporting are no longer available. See the FAQ below.

## Creating Short Links
Short links are cleaner and more professional for platforms like X (Twitter) or Instagram bios.
* **How to do it:** Beneath your shareable link, look for the **"Create short link"** toggle. Simply click the toggle to switch from a long URL to a condensed version.
* **Missing this option?** If you do not see this toggle, the advertiser has either disabled this feature for your program, or the program is no longer running. If the feature is simply switched off, you may use external URL shorteners, but always check the program terms first.

## Locating and Filtering Assets
The **Assets Wall** contains the creative materials (banners, logos, videos) provided by the advertiser.
* **Accessing the Wall:** Go to **Programs** > **View** (select a program) > scroll down to the **Assets Wall** section.
* **Filtering Options:** To find the perfect creative for your site, use the three dropdown filters:
* **Filter by Type:** Choose between standard images, "Image without link," HTML5 banners, text links, product feeds, or even video content (YouTube/Vimeo).
* **Filter by Dimension:** If you need a specific size for a sidebar or header (e.g., 300 x 250 or 728 x 90), use this to narrow down the list.
* **Filter by Language:** Useful if the program operates in multiple regions (e.g., English, German, Spanish).
***
## Advanced: MLM & Sub-Affiliates
If your program supports multi-level marketing (MLM), you can recruit others to earn a percentage of their sales.
* Click the **MLM** tab within a program.
* Use the **Sub-affiliate recruitment link** to invite others to join the program under you.
* You can track your sub-affiliates' performance in the table provided at the bottom of that page.

## FAQ
### ❓I see a "Personal coupon code." How do I use it?
A: On your program page, you may see a code (e.g., "RACHEL10"). You can share this with your audience. Often, if a customer uses this code at checkout, the sale is attributed to you even if they didn't click your link.
### ❓One of my programs shows as "Inactive." What does that mean?
The advertiser has archived it. On your **Programs** page you will see a banner saying the program was archived by the advertiser, and the program card is marked **Inactive** with the label **Archived by advertiser**.\
The program stays in your list for reference, but the **View** button is disabled, and you can no longer access its links, coupons or reporting. Clicks and sales sent to its old links are no longer tracked, so it is worth removing those links from your content.\
Your account and your earnings history stay exactly as they are. If you were in the middle of a campaign, contact the advertiser directly.
### ❓Why do some sub-affiliates show as "(deleted)"?
This occurs if a sub-affiliate you recruited has been removed from the program.
### ❓Can I see how many clicks my links are getting?
Yes! Go to your Dashboard. Under "Your daily reporting highlights," you can see real-time data for Clicks, Conversions, and your total Commission amount.
