Great video, very informative, and answered most of the questions I was hoping to find answers for. One thing I'm still unsure of how it works is the second-tier commission calculations and how to add affiliates as first and/or second tier affiliates. Do you have a video on that? Also, how do you record videos as your screen being your entire background? That's pretty cool!
Thanks Ray... great video. Thanks for being so thorough. Found this was all I needed to go forward with the affiliate feature in go high level. Cheers.
Is it possible to have affiliates without associating a product with the campaign, focusing solely on generating leads? We intend to offer merchandise, consulting sessions, and other non-monetary perks to affiliates who bring in leads, without any direct financial incentives.
Yes you can create a campaign that goes to a lead gen funnel. The affiliates would drive traffic to the funnel and you can pay them based upon whatever you agree to such as certain cost per lead etc.
Thanks for this Ray... what about an affiliate management area? Does GHL provide a members area for affiliates to get their affiliate links, track their commissions and sales, and get promotional materials specifically for their affiliate id?
Yes they do its the client portal. Unfortunately in order for them to use the portal they have to be added as a contact in your CRM. Adding them to affiliate manager in not enough to get them access to the portal. Inside the portal they see their leads commission payouts etc.
How to activate affiliate program for groups inside GHL?? Dont see the option in the group or a way to activate in main affiliate panel any help?? Already have members signed up and want to let them promote group as well
Affiliate program is activated when you get your funnel setup and your campaign goes live. You also have to get affiliates setup in the manager and add them to the campaign you want them to use.
Question - when you say the products have to be added to the first page of the funnel - do you mean you have to actually have the sales page on the first page of the funnel for all the affiliate stuff to work OR are you just saying you need to add them (as you showed in the video) on the first page AS WELL as on the page of your funnel that you actually do have the sales page? This is the first time I've heard of products needing to be on the first page of the funnel for affiliate marketing to work properly. TIA
Awesome video! Thanks for the information. One question, how do the affiliates get paid? What's the process on the payout side? Direct deposit, PayPal, stripe payout? Do they need to configure payment settings to receive the money?
@hlguy I’m looking to create an affiliate page for my event, and wondering the same question about the payouts. Do you have any service to set this up for people? Mine is right on the edge but needs tweaking
I'm coming at this from the Agency owner perspective setting up an affiliate program in a sub-account. I have the program setup but just wondering how people who sign up to be affiliates for the sub-account get paid out by the sub-account.@@HLGuy
@@HLGuy what is mean is that currently the affiliate link goes to a specific product that the customer can purchase online. But for example, let’s say I have a plumbing business, my customers can’t purchase anything online. They book an appointment with me and we show up to the place to give a quote. How can I create an affiliate system where people who refer me can get paid on referrals for services rather than product sales on e-commerce.
@@AliPirani007 I see what you are trying to do. I think trying to setup the Affiliate Manager for this would be too much for what you are trying to accomplish. I would say you can create a referred by field on your scheduling form so people;e can tell you who referred and ask people manually when they call if they were referred by someone. Then just keep track of them that way. Once job is done as a part of your checklist make sure to send payment to the referrer.
Hey i wanted to use wordpress site as my main business site for my GHL SAAS , I dont wanna host wordpress in gohighlevel since im hosting my website using a hosting provider and i am not planning resell it to my clients. Can you explain the steps required. [Leadconnecter plugin, integration of forms, addition of funnels, how to handle the domains] Thank you Can i paste the css code of the 1 step order form in the html element of my wordpress website to recieve payment for my saas, instead of building a whole funnel page in ghl and then connecting it to wordpress ?
A couple of answers here. Yes you can paste a form code to wordpress on a page and have it interact with GHL. Yes you can use lead connector plugin to pull funnels into website and the website chat widget as well.
You did not explain what the user control panel looks like, or the person who markets products, how to register himself, and how to copy the affiliate link
Thanks for this video! I have a question: how does the software pay the payouts to my affiliates? Do I have to put my affiliates' credit card or Stripe account somewhere for them to get paid after they bring in a sale? If so, where do you enter this data?
@@AustenSummers the payouts are done using the affiliate manager. You will have to approve all payments before the affiliates get paid. GHL uses tipalti to make payments to affiliates. The affiliate will have to create an account with Tipaltti in the affiliate portal. GHL has a help article about the process help.gohighlevel.com/support/solutions/articles/48001223172-affiliate-manager-step-4-how-to-manage-affiliate-payouts.
@@AustenSummers yes that's correct. And Just to clarify - this is not how it works if your just using your affiliate link for GHL which is what @HLGuy is referring to with his response right below this). Just wanted to make that very clear for anyone reading through these comments as they dont explain it very clearly in the support articles on GHL either. The Funnel he's building in this video - the affiliates of his book funnel - he would have to payout through PayPal.
Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it
Great job, Ray!
Thank you and thanks for watching.

The second tier commission is setup in the campaign level. I use obs to record videos. I wish you the best.
Thanks for this video Sir!
My pleasure! Thanks for watching.

Not sure exactly since I made this several months ago. Can you give me a time placement ion the video to refer to?
hey awesome video,. What plan of GHL do i need to use the affiliate manager? is the starter plan for around 100$/mo giving me acces?
That should work.
Great video - my question is - how do you pay them?
Thats a great question the payment method is up to you.
Thank you so much!
You're welcome!
Awesome video! Thanks for the information. One question, how do the affiliates get paid? What's the process on the payout side? Direct deposit, PayPal, stripe payout? Do they need to configure payment settings to receive the money?
Its all done using first promotor so I believe it goes into your bank account.
When someone finds this out, please update the rest of us!
@@kyle_e_alexander are you an affiliate for someone with GHL or are you a GHL affiliate?

how about affiliates for companies that do not have online sales via ecommerce but have services?
I do not understand the question. Sorry.

Ray... how do you handle refunds or cancelled payments?
Not sure exactly what you mean. So you need to collect money paid out to an affiliate or cancel a payment to an affiliate?

Affiliates access their dashboard by using your client portal. You can setup a funnel page with a form for registration. I wish you the best.
@@HLGuy Thank you very much for your reply, is there an explanation or documents explaining how he did that, please?
@@MerlinH You can check ghl help documents or contact support for assistance.

You have to pay them manually through PayPal. It's kinda ghetto
