How the UpLead Affiliate Program Works

When you join the UpLead Affiliate Program, you receive a unique referral link. Every time someone signs up through your link and makes a purchase, you earn a commission. The program includes:

  • 20% recurring commission on every subscription made through your referral.

  • 60-day cookie tracking, ensuring you get credit for sales even if the user doesn’t sign up immediately.

  • Monthly payouts processed directly to your PayPal or other approved payment methods.
