Ad Marketplace/Campaigns
Your application for the Affiliate Marketing Campaigns can be approved/rejected within 1-30 days upon applying.This is determined by the advertiser of the brand for which you are applying. When your affiliate marketing application is approved, you'll receive an affiliate link that you may use to advertise in your podcast.
The number of Affiliate Marketing campaigns you can apply for in the Ad Marketplace is limitless. In the Campaigns Tab, you can see all of the available Affiliate Marketing Campaigns as well as your active campaigns.
You may find your Referral code in the Ad Marketplace and the Active Campaigns tab. It is auto-assigned upon registration and is based on your podcast name.For every verified new user you can get into Podmetrics using your code, you get $3 commission.
For every campaign you are a part of (Brand Sponsorships or Affiliate Marketing Campaign), you will be asked to link the specific episodes that aired the campaign.
This is for us to understand the exact impressions of the ad. We get this by collecting the number of listens from your linked episodes.
For Brand Sponsorship, linking episodes is absolutely crucial. You are required to link the agreed upon number of sponsored episodes before the campaign can be tagged as complete.
Since Affiliate Marketing campaigns are valid for longer periods of time and are conversion-based, you are free to promote them to as many episodes as you wish. Linking episodes also has no limits.
In the Campaigns Tab under Your Campaigns, you can choose which campaign you'd like to link your episode. In the Episodes column, you can click on Link Episode and then your episodes will pop up. You can choose which episode you'd like to link and then click on Add this episode.
