Questions

How long does the affiliate marketing course take?

About 37 minutes to read all six lessons. Each lesson ends with a task for this week, so plan an hour or two in all.

Is the affiliate marketing course free?

Yes. You can read every lesson for free, with no account. The steps work on the Free plan of More.You, which needs no card.

Do I need a website to start affiliate marketing?

No. A bio page with your picks can be the website that programs ask for. Lesson 1 shows how to start with the account you already have.

Do I need a paid plan?

No. Product blocks, collections, analytics with 30 days of history and AI Control are on the Free plan. Attribution, which shows the post behind each click, is on Pro at $5/month billed annually ($7 month to month).

Which lesson should I start with?

Start with lesson 1 if you have no affiliate links yet. If you already share links, start with lesson 5 on disclosure, then lesson 6 on tracking.

How many followers do I need?

There is no single number, because each program sets its own rule. TikTok's bio link needs at least 1,000 followers or a Verified Business Account, and TikTok Shop sets its own minimum by country.
