To ensure that as many viewers as possible see your affiliate links, you should place the links high up in the description of your description box. The first one or two sentences should be a meaningful description of your video with the most important keywords. The affiliate links from stylink should follow directly after that. This way, viewers don't have to scroll far and see the links right away.

No, you only need to enter your bank details if you wish to request your remuneration of at least £50.

Then you can easily add your tax ID to your stylink account. In this case we will send you a customized document which you can use for your tax advisor or your tax return.

You can have your remuneration paid out in your stylink account starting from an amount of £50.

Please recheck your request and make sure that all your bank details are correct. If that’s the case, please note that there are a few things you should consider: If you make your request from Monday to Friday until noon, we will transfer your payment within 24 hours.

However, if there is anything wrong, please feel free to contact us via our WhatsApp support or by email at influencer@stylink.com.

An algorithm regularly adjusts your shop remuneration according to the performance of your affiliate links. This means that not only your clicks count but also the purchases that are made through the links. In the case of sustainable and recurring sales, your compensation may increase. Therefore, it is important that you continue to share products with your followers.  

The use of stylink is and remains of course free - for you, your followers and subscribers. You can create and share the affiliate links at any time and without obligation. You also have the possibility to delete your account at any time.

The idea behind stylink is that you are making recommendations for your already existing products such as clothing, cosmetics, decorative items and etc. You pass on your buying ideas and inspirations to your followers through the affiliate links. This means you don't have to buy extra new products.

You can post as much as you want - stylink is a non-binding platform. As an influencer and YouTuber, we would like to support you in increasing your reach and your community.

Of course, 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 articles from new partner shops that you are less familiar with. This way you can offer your followers a variety - this is usually well-received because your community certainly has very different 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.

It is not allowed to click more than once on your own links. Our algorithm recognises click fraud in the form of manual as well as automated clicks. This behaviour has consequences ranging from downgrades in compensation to the locking of your account.

Don't worry, updating your statistics can take up to 24 hours.
Once your statistics have been updated, they may differ from your Instagram insights. This is because foreign or double clicks are not counted.
Our system needs some time to evaluate and count your links. Thus, you can usually see your commission and click figures about 24 hours after you have posted a link.

You can view the clicks in your stylink account. To do so, log in at stylink.com, click on „Compensation“ and you will be taken directly to your statistics. Here you will see your open commission as well as an overview of your links, including your clicks.

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.

Updating the statistics usually takes up to 24 hours.

Once your statistics are updated on stylink, they may differ from your Instagram Insights. That is because we do not count foreign (outside the UK) and double clicks.

Make sure for every link you have created that you have copied it correctly into the Linkmaker. Also check afterwards at Instagram or YouTube whether you have also inserted the converted link (i.e. your affiliate link) and not the normal shop link.
