Once verified, you'll be taken straight to the **onboarding form**. This is where you’ll complete your affiliate profile, a required step before you can access any offers, by selecting the traffic sources you use (e.g., Email marketing, Social media, Blogs) and submitting proof for each source.

✅ **Important:** Completing your profile helps brands understand your approach and increases your approval chances.

## 3. Start Promoting Your Offers

Once you've been approved for an offer, it’s time to get to work and start promoting!

Each brand that has approved you to join their offer will provide you with a default affiliate link. Those are the keys for you to go for promoting and getting as much commission as possible.

By going to the **My offers** page, you will see the list of the offers that you've applied for.

Look at the offers with the status 'Active', and you will see your affiliate link used to promote their brands and earn your commissions.&#x20;

Besides, you can click on the button **Access offer's Dashboard** to enter your account and get your affiliate link/coupon (if provided).&#x20;
