- Insert the page to be linked into the space shown and press ''Create My Link''
- By now, your affiliate-ID link to a custom URL is ready
- You can test your affiliate-ID link in an incognito window
Always test run your affiliate-ID link in an incognito window. With this, you won't be self-cookie by your own affiliate link, which ends you up getting a commission from your own purchases. Getting a commission from your own affiliate is against the Affiliate terms and conditions.

What I have found helps because I am also promoting WA, is using their banners and CTAs on alternate pages, but in an in offensive way, so that readers are encouraged to sign up, ideally to both WA and Thrive, but if not, at least one or the other.
In my eyes, and through experience, I can't think of one reason, why Bloggers, would not want both platforms, especially as their work is made far easier than just using a normal blog.

Thank you. This is helpful information. I have this bookmarked.
I was using Thrive Themes but I found it complicated. How long did it take you to learn a Thrive theme?
I would love to go back and give it another go but I was also concerned about the number of plugins it installs. It doesn't show down your site?
