Creator guides
Practical how-tos for creators who need memorable, editable affiliate and referral links and honest click data for the places they publish. Start with the task in front of you: maintain a destination, compare placements, or organize links on YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok. Each guide separates the work a managed link can do from the editorial review and disclosure decisions you still need to make.
You do not need a new link for every mention of a recommendation. Decide what you want to maintain or compare first. A shared managed link can simplify destination updates; separate links keep chosen placements distinct. These five guides explain the tradeoffs and give you a workflow you can follow.
Use a stable public link to update destinations across old posts, emails, video descriptions, and social profiles. Follow a six-step review that checks the new destination, the promise around the link, and the disclosure before you consider the maintenance done.
Create one managed link per placement, even when several links share a destination, so you can compare the activity attached to each publishing spot. Learn why a shared slug combines clicks, how referrer information can be incomplete, and what those counts cannot prove.
Give video descriptions, pinned comments, community posts, and channel links separate labels when you want to compare them. This guide covers which YouTube surfaces support clickable links, how to name each placement, and how destination edits fit into maintaining older videos.
Separate a campaign bio link, each dated Story sticker, and reply placements with a naming scheme you can review later. Follow a setup workflow, learn what a shared bio URL hides, and keep click comparisons separate from commissions and earnings.
Name each bio campaign window and DM link so you can compare their clicks. Learn what video captions and pinned comments pointing to the bio cannot tell you, how to maintain a destination when an older video draws attention, and where click data stops.
Clicks are not conversions, commissions, or earnings. A click count records activity on a managed link; it does not confirm a purchase, a program approval, or a payout. Use the merchant's own records for those questions. Placement comparisons can help you decide where to clarify a recommendation or move a link, but they do not establish why someone clicked.
MyAffiliate.link does not store raw visitor IP addresses or cookies in click events, and its redirects set no cookies on people who click. Unique-visitor counts are estimates from a one-way, account-scoped pseudonymous visitor key. Referrers may be missing; when recorded, query strings are dropped. Read the Privacy Policy for the data boundary behind the reports.
A destination edit also does not rewrite an old caption, price, disclosure, or recommendation. Review that context whenever the offer changes, and check the platform and program rules that apply to your links.
MyAffiliate.link publishes these guides and offers the paid link-management service they describe. When you are ready to put the workflow into practice, give each link a clear name, choose the placements you need to compare, and keep a record of destination changes. Start with a manageable set you can review over time.
