How do I create Stylinks?

Using the Linkmaker, you can easily create your affiliate links which we call Stylinks. To create a Stylink, simply copy the product link from one of our online partner shops and paste it into our Linkmaker. First select on which platform you want to post your Stylink: Instagram, Pinterest, TikTok (if applicable), YouTube, and your blog. Very important: You can only create Stylinks for brands we're also collacorating with! For online shops which do not cooperate with our platform the Linkmaker won't be able to create a Stylink. Click on 'Create A Stylink" an within a few moments, you will see the Stylink. Copy it and paste it as a sticker link into your Instagram story or alternatively into your description box on YouTube. We have a detailed guide for you as well.

If you want to post multiple Stylinks in one day, first convert all product links into Stylinks and then have all the links of the day sent to you by e-mail. After creating the Stylinks, go to "My Compensation" and scroll down to the overview of your Stylinks. Below 'Your affiliate links' you can click 'Send' to send the created Stylinks to yourself as a e-mail. In addition, you can also edit the description of your Stylinks individually in the Linkmaker. This is especially helpful if a product image cannot be loaded automatically.

Where do I post my Stylinks?

You can post your Stylinks on Instagram, Pinterest, TikTok (if applicable) your blog, and YouTube. When creating a Stylink, keep in mind to select the correct platform first. You might see a difference in your compensation depending on the selected platform. That's because we believe that e. g. YouTube Content is rather long-term and more complex to create than Instagram Story Content.

How do I earn money with stylink?

You receive a certain pence-per-click compensation for every unique follower click on your Stylinks. Your pence-per-click compensation might differ depending on the chosen shop and platform.

Unique click means that we do not count multiple clicks from the same device and foreign clicks. We only count clicks from your followers in the United Kingdom, Jersey, and Ireland because the Stylinks you create are only available in these countries.

Under 'My compensation' you can see what you've earned per link. Please keep also in mind that the clicks of your followers must be based on an intention to buy or obtain information as a result of your recommendation. Therefore, clickbait content won't be compensated.

Important: Our system takes up to 48 hours to display the correct number of clicks in your Linkmaker.

When will my compensation be paid?

You can request your first cashout starting at the amount of £25.00/25,00€ in your account profile.

If you have requested your cashout by noon between Monday and Friday, we will transfer the money to you bank account within 24 hours. This does not apply for cashout requests during the weekend. Please note that it might take a few more days, depending on your bank, until you receive the money.

All about using stylink

In addition to your product recommendations, you can apply for our recurring brand collaborations. stylink cooperates with different brands and we will inform you about our collaborations via newsletters. We also announce the campaigns on our Instagram channel (@stylinkofficial_eu). If you would like to participate in our collaborations, you must be registered at stylink and subscribe to our newsletter.

You can post as much as you want — stylink is a non-binding platform. As an influencer and/or YouTuber, we would like to support you in growing your reach and your community. Therefore, we recommend you post up to 5-6 daily stories with affiliate links from stylink. Don't forget to mark your content as an advertisement, for example using #AD. Of course, you must comply with legal requirements and current jurisdiction. Please refer to our general terms and conditions for further details. If you have any questions, we will be happy to support you!

You should always link the shops and products you can identify with and which you really like. But you might also occasionally want to try out items from new, less familiar partner shops. This way you can offer your followers a variety — this is usually well-received because your community certainly has a wide array of interests. Therefore, we advise you to choose a good mix. Please note that you can only link products from our partner shops that are listed in the stylink Linkmaker.

We're constantly working on new cooperations with new shops. However, some partners do not sell their products via social media platforms like stylink. This is also the reason why you won't find them in your linkmaker. However, if you are particularly missing a certain shop, you are welcome to let us know by sending a message to our support team and we will do our best to ensure that you can hopefully see it in your linkmaker soon.

My statistics in the Linkmaker

There might be a few reasons for this difference.

Our system is designed to ignore multiple clicks from the same device and foreign clicks. We only count clicks from your followers in the United Kingdom, Jersey, and Ireland because the Stylinks you create are only available in these countries.
It also takes 24 to 48 hours until all your links have been updated on your Linkmake.
The clicks that we count are those that happen in the "intermediate window with the pink round button," not on your social media account. The intermediate window helps us track and confirm your unique clicks as well as your sales. To optimise your commission on each click, your IOS-using followers must click through the intermediate page. This means they must click the pink button.
Once the button is clicked, your follower will be instructed to press and hold the button. Upon completion, your follower will be taken to the product's landing page. This will help you align your stylink stats with your Instagram stats.

On the intermediate page, you have the option to include an image. This will help your followers feel more confident about the link they clicked. This image comes from your stylist. To update your stylist picture, click here.

In order to increase the number of clicks, we recommend that you present varying products to your community. One option would be to link products from many different shops. You should also post interesting stories on Instagram and YouTube videos that are visually appealing. It's also important to consider the feedback and reactions of your followers and YouTube subscribers to get a feel for what's well-received by your community. Our Influencer Support will be happy to give you more advice at influencer@stylink.com or by calling +44 20 39664658 or +353 1800 400 501.
