Your burning affiliate questions, answered.

Log in at Impact, go to Ads » Ads and links.
Let's use Jane as an example. Jane has heard of 99designs by Vista but has never made a purchase before. She searches online for how to get a tattoo designed before bringing it to a shop. She finds your site, clicks your affiliate link, and purchases a contest for tattoo design on 99designs. Once the transaction goes through, you will get a commission as this is Jane’s first purchase on 99designs.
We’ll give you a bonus if you hit a certain number of conversions in Impact per month. 
10 actions = $50
25 actions = $100
50 actions = $250
