Reply To: Reference: Posting personal referral codes/ affiliate links.

@peter, is there a list of LinkedMusicians referral codes anywhere? I wouldn’t mind adding them to the links in my posts.

Of course, depending on the forum architecture, it might be relatively easy to add a checkbox saying “Add referral codes to links” and then they would be added automatically when the post is submitted.

There is a page up with affiliate codes for URLs, but I don’t have any official referral codes for LinkedMusicians. The affiliate stuff pays out money, which I keep separate so I can monitor the money spent on the site and how much it brings in. For big subreddits, Facebook groups, and YouTube channels, affiliate marketing can bring in a lot of money. But for a small community like this, the last I checked, Plugin Boutique had a total of less than $5 in total affiliate commissions for November. But my take is this, I’m trying to get into a routine of using this stuff as a habit to help fund the site and hopefully, to completely fund it before the end of next year.

Any referral codes I’ve shared — which are just for Melda, United Plugins, 8Dio and SoundPaint, just give me credits towards the stuff I personally by. I was hoping to use @lamia6’s codes, because she’s done a ton of work on this site without ever charging. From coding, troubleshooting, and fixes, to custom plugins. So I really would like to start using her codes and then I’ll just stick with the affiliate programs. She absolutely deserves something for how much she has done. This site might not even be up right now if not for her. She’s allowed me to do things I couldn’t afford.

Here’s the page with various ways you can support LinkedMusicians, but it’s really focused on the affiliate stuff, cash donations, and merch, like t-shirts, water bottles, mousepads, and mugs.
