Multi-level marketing is a popular way to incentivize affiliates to recruit other affiliates by giving them additional credit for purchases generated by their sub-affiliates.

LeadDyno supports Multi-Level affiliate programs with two tools:

• Multi-level Commission Plans;
• An easy affiliate invitation UI within the Affiliate Dashboards.

Multi-level Commission Plans

You can configure up to 10 commission levels with our MLM feature. For details on how to set it up and how each level is paid commission on a purchase, please refer to our guide: MLM - Step By Step - 3 Level Affiliate Chain.

Affiliate Invitation Emails

If you set up a multi-level commission plan, you probably want to make it easy for affiliates to invite other affiliates.

In the Affiliate Dashboards, click the "more" button on the dashboard for which you want to activate the option, then navigate to the Invite view.

Check the Enable Affiliate Invites option as shown above.

You can then provide a brief introduction for your affiliates, which will appear above the invitation form. You can use this to specify exactly what kind of reward the affiliates should expect.

Finally, you must complete a template for the email that affiliates send. This email should clearly explain to the invited affiliates why they should join the program. We recommend making it a relatively personal email rather than a marketing-heavy one to get better responses.

This email  must contain a link back to the acceptance URL (the default template will already have this link in it) which is:

Replace {YOUR_SUBDOMAIN } with your LeadDyno domain.

Your affiliates can now view the email template on the Invite Others page in their dashboard.

Affiliate Referral Links

You can also enable settings that give your affiliates a shareable referral link and let them view their referral chain.

• Proceed to the Affiliate Dashboards and click the "more" button on the dashboard for which you want to activate the options.
• Enable both of the options:
  • Allow Parent Affiliates To See Children (MLM) - Enables the Your Network page on the affiliate dashboard and allows them to see referrals.
  • Enable Affiliate Invite Link (MLM) - Enables the  Your Network page on the affiliate dashboard and shows a shareable referral link.
• Click on Save Changes at the bottom of the page.

Manually Managing Parent Affiliates

If you want to manually set the parent affiliate for an affiliate, simply edit the affiliate and enter the email of the parent affiliate.

That’s all you need to start your own multi-level affiliate marketing program using LeadDyno.
