Guided Affiliation: A New Kind of Affiliate Marketing
You decide to try affiliate marketing. Then you find out what it expects from you first: something to promote, videos to make, and an audience that does not exist yet.
There is another arrangement, and you can judge it once you see what it hands you, what it does not, and what it still asks of you.
Affiliate marketing asks you for four things: the content, the account, the audience, and the way your clicks are counted.
In some programs, those four do not come from you. They are prepared for you, and your part is the posting. That is guided affiliation.
Other models exist, and they are not wrong for being different.
What affiliate marketing asks of you
The content is yours to make. The guide Shopify published on affiliate marketing without a website, updated in March 2025, describes the affiliate as "a content creator".
You pick something to promote. You film it. You edit it. You write the caption. You post it. Then you wait.
Filming, editing and writing are three different skills. Picking them up takes time. The equipment is yours to find, and so is the time.
The account is yours as well. It carries your name, next to the rest of your online life. What happens to it happens to you.
The audience is yours to build, and it is usually the slow part. People have to see the video before anything follows. That part comes last, and it comes slowly.
The clicks are yours to follow. You place your links. Then you check what they do, on whatever tool you manage to set up.
Each of the four asks that you already have something: equipment, editing skills, an audience, or patience.
How guided affiliation differs from traditional affiliate marketing
We take the same four, in the same order.
Who makes what you post
We make the videos. They are short, they are already edited, and they arrive with their captions, ready to paste. New ones land in a folder that is yours, every day.
There is nothing to think up before posting.
We produce the videos in house and deliver them daily to the team. The folder fills again the next day, whatever you did with it.
You create nothing and you film nothing.
Who sets up the account and the tracked link
We create a new account with you, step by step. We set up the picture, the bio and your own tracked link with you.
We assign that account to you. It stays separate from your personal accounts, and your own profiles stay out of it.
Why you need no audience of your own
You do not need an audience or followers of your own before you start.
You begin on the new account we create with you, not on something you spent months building.
If you are starting with nobody following you, we set out what affiliate marketing still asks for in affiliate marketing without followers, and what none of the ways around it remove.
Who counts the clicks on your link
Each account we set up carries its own tracked link, and yours is unique to you.
We count the clicks on it. You watch them come in from your own space, in real time.
We do the counting ourselves, so there is no tool for you to set up.
What is left is the posting. You open the folder, take a video, paste the caption, and post it from your phone.
That is the part we do not do for you, and it is the part the rest depends on. Our coaches train and support you on Discord.
Why guided affiliation is easier to start
You do not need equipment, editing skills, an audience or experience. Basic English is enough to read a caption and reply to a message.
What you need is a phone and about 15 minutes a day. You choose the hours, around the rest of your day. It comes in a few short moments rather than one block.
That means reading a caption, and replying to a message.
What stays with you is the posting. It has to be regular. It is the one part we cannot take off your hands, and the whole arrangement rests on it.
What you do not choose is the rest. The videos arrive already assigned to you, and so does the account. The freedom here is over your hours, not over what you post.
There is no schedule to keep either. You fit the 15 minutes where they suit you, and the folder is there when you open it.
Accounts get restricted sometimes, and it is a normal part of this. We help you recover the account, or we replace it if it cannot be recovered.
Who guided affiliation is for
This model suits some people and not others. The five points below let you check it for yourself.
Is guided affiliation for you? Five things to check
- You want something small next to what you already do, not a main activity.
- You can post regularly, from your phone.
- You are fine with not choosing the videos or the account.
- Your English is enough to read a caption and reply to a message.
- You would rather start on a new account, created with you and assigned to you, than build an audience of your own.
If one of the five does not sound like you, this model may not suit you.
If you are still comparing options, we ranked the easiest side hustles to start from your phone.
If your question is where the money comes from, we set out four sources in making money by posting videos from your phone.
If you want both ways to become an affiliate, step by step, we set them out in how do I become an affiliate.
If you want to follow guided affiliation in time, from the form to the clicks on your link, we go through it in how does guided affiliation work.
We ask you for nothing to start.
