How to share your Flodesk affiliate link (and what to avoid)

As a Flodesk affiliate, you can give friends 25% off their first year of Flodesk and earn $15 for each person who joins using your link. The more you share, the more you can earn.

This article covers the best places to share your affiliate link, how to do it effectively, and the one rule you'll want to keep in mind to stay in good standing as an affiliate.

To find your affiliate link, log in to Flodesk, click your logo in the top-right corner, and select Share Flodesk.

Your email audience already sees your designs firsthand, which makes it a natural place to mention Flodesk. A simple line at the bottom of your emails is all it takes. Here are a few options:

• "Curious how I'm creating these emails? Meet Flodesk."

• "Ready to upgrade your email newsletters? See what I'm using."

• "Wondering about my email marketing setup? Look no further."

This is one of the lowest-effort ways to share consistently, since it's already part of something you're sending.

Blog posts are one of the highest-performing channels for affiliate links. A few formats that work well:

• How-to or educational post: Walk readers through how to use Flodesk or why email marketing matters for small businesses

• Comparison post: If you've switched from another platform, share what you noticed and why you prefer Flodesk

• Roundup post: Feature Flodesk alongside other tools you use and recommend for running your business

A few tips for roundup posts in particular: feature an odd number of tools (five works well), make affiliate links bold so they're easy to spot, and pin the post to the top of your blog so it stays visible.

Important: always disclose your use of affiliate links. Here's a sample disclosure you can customize:

"Some of the links in this post are affiliate links. If you make a purchase through them, I may earn a commission. I only share about tools I genuinely use and believe in."

Instagram Stories are especially effective for affiliate sharing. A few approaches that work:

• Show how you use Flodesk and give your audience a behind-the-scenes look at your email designs or process

• If you have a link sticker or swipe-up feature, link directly to your affiliate link

• If you don't, write out your referral code on the story image or video and add the link to your bio for the 24 hours the story is live

Ads can help your content reach a wider audience, especially if you've written a blog post or created a highlight about why you love Flodesk. A few ground rules for ads:

• Always point to your own domain, not the Flodesk domain

• Link to content that includes your affiliate link, not to the affiliate link directly

• Include your own branding and never present yourself as Flodesk

A well-structured ad promotes your content (for example, a blog post about how you use Flodesk) with your branding clearly front and center.

The only sharing method that's not allowed is running ads that link directly to your affiliate link. Ads must point to your own content (such as a blog post or landing page) that then includes the link.

Everything else listed above is fair game. When in doubt, ask yourself: does this content represent me and my brand, or does it look like it's coming from Flodesk directly? If it's the former, you're good to go.

Where are the best places to share my Flodesk affiliate link?
The most effective places are your email newsletters, blog posts, social media (especially Instagram Stories), and ads that promote your own content. Each of these lets you reach your existing audience in a natural, non-pushy way.

Can I run ads using my Flodesk affiliate link?
You can run ads, but they must point to your own content (like a blog post or landing page) that includes your affiliate link. You can't run ads that link directly to your affiliate link, and your ads must use your own branding, not Flodesk's.

Do I need to disclose that I'm using an affiliate link?
Yes. Whenever you share your affiliate link, especially in blog posts or social media, you should include a clear disclosure. Something like: "Some links in this post are affiliate links. If you make a purchase, I may earn a commission. I only share tools I genuinely use and believe in."

Yes, with care. The Flodesk Affiliate Success Kit includes a step-by-step guide for sharing in Facebook groups the right way. Grab it from the Share Flodesk section of your account.

What's the easiest way to share my affiliate link consistently?
Adding a short line to the bottom of your regular emails is one of the most passive and consistent ways to share. Since you're already sending emails, it takes almost no extra effort and reaches your audience regularly.
