Earn Commission When You Buy Your Domains at 1and1 Domain.

Published on Wealthy Affiliate — a platform for building real online businesses with modern training and AI.

In case you didn't know, 1and1 Domain allows its affiliates to earn commissions on the domains they purchase for themselves through their own affiliate links.
They pay $2.50 commission for each domain purchased. You become an affiliate with them through Commission Junction (CJ) [www.cj.com].
It's important that you go through CJ and get your affiliate link before you buy your domains. When you buy a domain through 1and1, you will be given a link for their "refer a friend" program. This is not the same as the commission-earning link that you need.
Once you get YOUR affiliate link from Commission Junction, you can place it anywhere on your blog or website. Whenever you get ready to purchase a domain from 1and1, go to your site and click through from your link. Usually within a day or so, you can see the $2.50 in your CJ account.
And remember, with 1&1, the privacy option is free as opposed to paying six dollars for it at GoDaddy. The only thing is at 1&1, you have to manually select the privacy option, so be sure to look for the radio button where you can do this.
Under CUSTOMER DETAILS when you get ready to pay for your domain, you will see these three choices:
Use the above data to register your domain?
Create new contact data to register your domain?
Register your domain privately? More Information
Choose this last option for domain privacy.
