The power to create your own affiliate program is one of Eventbrite’s most awesome features.

I want to take a few minutes to review how it all works, and to illustrate how an affiliate program can fit into the bigger picture of successful event management.

What is it?
Eventbrite gives you the ability to create an affiliate program for any event you are hosting. You decide what you want to pay, and Eventbrite gives you everything you need to track affiliate referrals and commissions. You can make your affiliate program invitation-only, for just people in your personal network. Or you can make your program available to the general public. Public programs are published on the Public Affiliates Page.

How do you make it work for you?
Using an affiliate program can have a dramatic impact on the attendance and success of your event. With an affiliate program you can greatly extend your marketing reach, by allowing others to earn money by referring attendees to your event. Your affiliates can be people who work in your industry and who would like to promote your event on their websites or in their newsletters. Your affiliates can be people whom you have attracted to your public program by paying a generous commission and by holding a broadly appealing event.

To create an affiliate program for your event, just click on “Affiliate Programs” under the Promote menu on your event dashboard.
