What Are Affiliate Offers?
Affiliate offers are specific earning opportunities provided by a brand.
They define how much you earn, what actions earn you money, and how you can promote.
Simple: Brand = company → Offer = how you earn
This is a sample of Shopee affiliate offers in the Involve Asia dashboard. There are multiple offers for Shopee (the brand) and you will have to apply for the right offer for your audience.
Example: Shopee MY offer for the Malaysian audience.

Each brand can have multiple offers based on commission rates, countries, or campaigns.
Example

Same brand, different offers.
What Does an Affiliate Offer Include?
- Commission rate (percentage or fixed amount)
- Commission model (CPS, CPL, CPI, CPA)

These details determine how you earn and how you promote. You can visit the offer page to view details for each offer.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What are affiliate offers in affiliate marketing?
Affiliate offers are specific deals or earning opportunities provided by brands that allow affiliates to earn commissions. Each offer defines how much you earn, what action is required (such as a purchase or sign-up), and the terms of promotion. On platforms like Involve Asia, affiliate offers are what you apply to and promote using your unique affiliate links.
How do affiliate offers work on Involve Asia?
On Involve Asia, affiliate offers are linked to brands listed in the Advertiser Directory. After applying and getting approved, you can generate affiliate links tied to a specific offer. When users click your link and complete a valid action, such as making a purchase, the system tracks the transaction and records your commission in the dashboard.
What is the difference between an affiliate offer and a campaign?
An affiliate offer is the base earning structure, such as a fixed commission rate for promoting a product or service. A campaign, on the other hand, is a limited-time promotion that may enhance the offer by providing higher commissions, discounts, or special deals. Campaigns are designed to boost conversions and increase your earning potential.
Can one brand have multiple affiliate offers?
A single brand can have multiple affiliate offers based on factors such as country, commission rate, campaign period, or product category. This allows affiliates to choose the most suitable offer for their audience. For example, the same brand may offer different commission rates in different countries or higher payouts during promotional campaigns.
How do I choose the best affiliate offers to promote?
To choose the best affiliate offers, focus on relevance, commission potential, and conversion rate. Select offers that match your audience’s interests and needs, as this increases the likelihood of conversions. It is also helpful to look for offers with active campaigns or higher commission rates. Using Involve Asia’s dashboard, you can compare offers and track performance to identify what works best.
