How does it work

DesignCrowd uses cookies to store your affiliate code against the people you refer to DesignCrowd. This means, even if your referred traffic leaves then returns later on, you’ll still get credit for the sale!

It works by simply adding your affiliate code ?refKey=REFKEY to the end of any DesignCrowd URL. The startup guide below will step you through how to use this to start making sales today!

We suggest that you take care in promoting the services and try not to spam social media with obvious advertising.

Step 2: Add text links to your website

The simpliest way to promote DesignCrowd is using links to begin pushing your referrals to DesignCrowd. This can be as simple as adding a link to the footer of your website pushing them to the main DesignCrowd page. Here are some text links you might want to use:

Simple link to use anywhere:

<a href='http://www.designcrowd.com/?refKey=REFKEY'>DesignCrowd</a>

Text ad link example:

                        <a href='http://logo.designcrowd.com/?refKey=REFKEY'>Need a logo? Try DesignCrowd and get 100+ logo designs</a>
                    

Simple text ad specific to web design:

<a href='http://web.designcrowd.com/?refKey=REFKEY'>Get Custom Web Design</a>

If your logo was designed by DesignCrowd you could add this to your website footer:

                        <a href='http://logo.designcrowd.com/?refKey=REFKEY'>Logo designed by DesignCrowd</a>
                    

If your website was designed by DesignCrowd you could add this to your website footer:

                        <a href='http://web.designcrowd.com/?refKey=REFKEY'>Website designed by DesignCrowd</a>
                    

Crowdsource-related text ad snippet:

Step 4: Add links to your articles / blog posts

If you own/run/write a content-rich blog, you can take advantage of this content by linking your readers through to DesignCrowd pages and making referral sales. To do this, after writing an article on your blog or website, simply embed your affilliate links within the content.

We suggest you try to make the article as fresh, interesting and informative as possible rather than attempting to spam your readership. For example, you may want to write an article about the history of crowdsourcing / outsourcing and link parts of this back to DesignCrowd.

Once your done writing the article, simply attach one or two of links below and start linking your readers through to your affiliate URLs:

DesignCrowd: http://www.designcrowd.com?refKey=REFKEY

Logo Design: http://logo.designcrowd.com/refKey=REFKEY

Web Design: http://web.designcrowd.com/?refKey=REFKEY

Crowdsourcing: http://www.designcrowd.com/crowdsourcing?refKey=REFKEY

Step 5: Add an RSS feed to your website

We have a number of affiliate RSS feeds that you can attach to your website/blog. All links within the RSS feeds have been setup with your affiliate code to ensure any sales made through them are contributed to your sales quota.

See RSS feeds page ...

Step 6: Add 'How it works' video to your website

Help explain how the DesignCrowd process works by embedding our 'how it works' video on your website.

Copy and paste the embed code below into your website/blog:
