Your first recommendation

Make it useful. Make it yours.

Choose a resource you know. Explain the coaching problem it helped you explore, and give your audience a reason to take a closer look.

Copy your personal link from the dashboard each time you need it. Ordinary website links do not identify you as the affiliate.

Adapt this to your experience

“I used [resource] when working on [coaching challenge]. One idea I found useful was [your example]. You can explore it here: [your affiliate link].”

“I may earn a commission if you purchase through this link.”

Replace the brackets with your own experience. Keep the disclosure close to the link.

Questions

Before you start sharing

Do I need a membership or a large following?

No. Members and non-members can join. A coaching staff, newsletter, podcast, or community can be a good place to share a resource. Relevant, honest recommendations matter more than the size of your audience.

Do I need to wait for approval?

New accounts are automatically approved through the SamCart signup form. SamCart provides access to your affiliate dashboard and sends an approval email with your login link. Use your affiliate login, which is separate from the Transforming membership app.

How does referral tracking work?

Share the personal affiliate link from your SamCart dashboard. The referral window is 30 days. When a buyer follows more than one affiliate link, SamCart credits the most recent referral. Browser settings, blocked or cleared cookies, and switching devices can affect tracking.

Does my link give the buyer a discount?

An affiliate link tracks a referral; it does not automatically give a discount. Only advertise a specific discount if Transforming has provided it. A coupon code alone should not be used in place of your tracking link. Existing offers cannot be combined with other discount codes.

Does annual membership pay recurring commission?

The eligible standard annual membership pays 20% on the initial purchase only. Renewals do not earn another commission. Monthly, student, discounted membership variants, bundles, camps, and live events are excluded.

When and how do I get paid?

Commissions become eligible for payment after 60 days. Transforming schedules payments on the first of each month when your eligible balance reaches $100. Smaller balances carry forward. Keep your PayPal email up to date in your SamCart affiliate settings. Transforming handles payment; the dashboard records your commission balance and payout history.

What happens if a customer gets a refund?

SamCart adjusts the related affiliate commission when a purchase is refunded. Discounts can also reduce the amount earned. The examples on this page assume the stated price with no discount or refund.

How should I explain that I am an affiliate?

Make the relationship clear next to your recommendation. For example: “I may earn a commission if you purchase through this link.” Describe your own experience accurately and avoid promises about results you cannot substantiate.
