We want every affiliate marketer to understand exactly how to get approved at MaxBounty.
It benefits all parties if those who have the desire to become a MaxBounty affiliate and ethically promote high-converting offers can do so efficiently.
We believe that you deserve the opportunity to apply to our network and to have your account approved, regardless of your experience level.
It is also our belief that you deserve to know what it is we value in your potential affiliate application.
This guide will tell you just that while walking you through each step of our application process.
By understanding what it is we look for and following our preparation steps, you can increase the chances of your MaxBounty application being approved.
This will also help accelerate the application process, ensuring you get to promote offers and earn money ASAP.
How to Get Approved at MaxBounty
Although filling out the application is the most crucial part of applying to MaxBounty, knowing what to do both before and after can also increase your chances of getting approved.
With this in mind, the application process can be divided into three separate stages:
- Pre-Application Stage: How to prepare for filling out your MaxBounty application.
- Applying to MaxBounty: How to fill out the application answer each question accurately.
- Post-Application Stage: How to approach your post-application phone call and how to follow-up with your Affiliate Manager.
Pre-Application Stage: Before Applying to MaxBounty
There are several actions we recommend you take before heading to our sign-up page and clicking ‘register’.
Following our pre-application steps will benefit you by:
- Helping you create a high-quality application that has a greater chance of approval.
- Preparing you for the questions in the application.
- Decreasing the time it takes you to fill out your application.
Create a Website/Landing Page
In the application you will be asked to provide a URL for your website/webpage.
We understand that if you are a beginner, this might not be something you have at the moment. That is why this is not a mandatory requirement to be approved into MaxBounty.
However, having a website or landing page can go a long way in showing you are serious about affiliate marketing.
Even a ‘work-in-progress’ will allow us to see your vision for your strategy.
If you have an idea of how your site or LP will eventually look, prepare a rough draft or mock-up. You can then host the image on a site like Imgur so that you are able to give us a URL.
Have a Clear Plan
In the latter half of your application, you will be asked to explain how you plan to promote our campaigns if/when your app is approved.
This is one of if not THE most important thing that we look for in any affiliate application.
A well-thought-out plan lets us know you are serious about becoming an affiliate. It also allows us to make sure your strategy falls in line with our terms and conditions.
This is not just a prerequisite. It benefits YOU as well.
Not only will your chances of approval improve, it will also increase your chances of finding early success.
By planning out your strategy, you will be prepared to promote campaigns upon gaining access to our network.
Do the necessary research and take the time to determine the following:
- Which traffic sources you will be using (paid VS free, traffic type: social, email, display, etc.).
- What verticals, niche, or campaigns you would like to promote.
- Which countries you plan to promote the campaigns in.
Have your photo ID ready
We implemented ID verification in our application to reduce fraud and accelerate our vetting process. This step will ultimately help your MaxBounty application get approved quicker if no fraud is detected.
Make sure you have possession of a real, valid, and readable photo identification in English. Take high quality photos of both the front and back of your ID and have them ready to submit on your device.
Pre-Application Checklist
Before you apply, double check that you have completed the steps we mentioned above.
- I have a website/landing page. If I do not, I have an idea as to when I will get one OR a reason why I do not have/need one.
- I have a clear plan as to how I will promote campaigns.
- I have a valid photo ID in English within my possession.
- I have taken photos of my ID and it is easy to read the information on my card.
If you answered yes to all the above, you are now ready to apply to MaxBounty!
Starting Your MaxBounty Application
If you followed the steps in the Pre-Application stage, filling out your application should be quick and easy.
First, head to our Affiliate Page on MaxBounty.com and click “Become an Affiliate”.
Then, you will be taken to a log in/register screen. If you don’t already have an active affiliate account with us, click ‘Next’ to begin your application.
Page 1: Account Info
1. To start, provide us with your name and a valid email that you wish to be associated with your account.
2. If you will be operating as a company or team, you can also provide the name of that in this section.
3. Complete this page by putting in the desired password for your account twice.
Page 2: Contact Info
1. Provide us with one or two contactable phone numbers where we can reach you.
2. Select which time zone you are in and your preferred time of day to communicate. Your Affiliate Manager will use this information to know when they should contact you. This is important for both your post-application phone call and for general contact if/once you are approved.
3. Below that, provide us with your Telegram ID if you have one. If you do not currently have one you can leave this field blank.
Page 3: Address Info
Simply input your address details and ensure all information is up to date and accurate.
Note: There are separate State/Province sections for countries within North America and countries in other continents. Leave the one that does not apply to you blank.
Page 4. Experience and Plan
This is the most important page of our affiliate application. It is also the section that is most likely to influence whether or not your application is approved at MaxBounty, therefore, it deserves some extra attention.
Let’s go over each individual question so that you know exactly what’s required.
1. “How did you hear about MaxBounty?“
Did you come across MaxBounty through a Google Ad, while browsing an affiliate marketing forum, or looking through campaigns on OfferVault? If so, we want to know.
Input how you got to our application page here so we can improve at reaching affiliates like yourself.
2. “What’s your experience?:“
Select one of the four options for how much experience you have in affiliate marketing. Keep in mind that we do accept beginners, so there’s reason to not be honest.
3. “Describe your past experience in affiliate marketing:“
This is where you can expand on your previous experience. If you have worked with other networks, tell us which ones and which verticals and campaigns you promoted.
If you have experience using advertising platforms like Facebook or Google ads but not in an affiliate marketing context, please share that with us.
Once again, MaxBounty accepts affiliates from all experience levels, so there is no reason not to answer this question honestly.
Note: This area can only contain 50-200 characters (not words), so be informative but concise.
4. “How do you intend to promote offers?:“
Remember earlier in the guide when we discussed the importance of having a plan? Now is the time to tell us what you have in mind.
Describe your plan in as much detail as you can within the character limit provided. Anything that does not fit can be expanded on over phone later on.
5. “What campaigns are you looking for?:“
Tell us which vertical or specific campaigns you plan to promote.
Your Affiliate Manager will use this information to recommend campaigns to you if/when you have been approved. It will also show us that you have done your research.
6. “Your Website URL:“
Provide us with the URL of your website or landing page if you have one.
As we discussed earlier in the guide, this is not mandatory. If you do not currently have a website, just type “no site right now” in this section.
Page 5: Identification
Upload both the front and back photos of your photo ID that we discussed in the Pre-Application section of this guide.
Ensure the information on your card is easy to read in the photos.
Page 6: Terms and Conditions
Simply check all three boxes, agreeing that you will follow our terms and conditions, then click ‘Submit’.
To learn more about what is not permitted at our network, click on ‘terms and conditions’ in the bottom box.
Verifying your Application
Once you have submitted your application you will receive a verification email titled “Verify your MaxBounty application”
Open the email and click the confirmation link inside.
You will then receive a 2nd email titled “Finalizing your MaxBounty Application” that includes your 6-digit Affiliate ID # and Affiliate Manager contact info. Both are important pieces of information, so either save the email or write down its contents on a piece of paper.
Post-Application Stage: After Applying to MaxBounty
Phone call interview
Once your application has been submitted, you will receive a phone call interview from a MaxBounty Affiliate Manager. This usually occurs within 1-3 days after submission.
This is often a mandatory component of our application process unless you’re an experienced affiliate, and must be done over the phone rather than on Telegram or another instant-messaging service.
The primary purpose of this phone call is for MaxBounty to gain additional insight into the information provided in your application. This is essentially the final step that will determine whether you get approved to MaxBounty.
Be prepared to go over any of the following during your phone call:
- Clarification on details of your application such as address or contact info.
- Your plan for promoting campaigns.
- Your experience level.
- Which campaigns you would like to promote.
- Verifying your identity.
As long as you are able to answer questions clearly and the information you provide during the call matches the info in your application, your Affiliate Manager is likely to approve you.
Following up
If you have submitted your application but have not yet received a phone call, you can accelerate the review process by calling your Affiliate Manager.
You can find their phone number in the 2nd email you received after you submitted your application.
Note: It is important that you wait for your Affiliate Manager to add you on Telegram rather than searching for them. If not, you could accidentally add the wrong account and unknowingly end up sharing account information with an imposter.
Logging in
If your Affiliate Manager approved you at the end of your phone call, you can now log in to our Affiliate Dashboard using the email and password you provided in your application.
Congratulations! You are now an active MaxBounty affiliate!
Close this blog and start promoting our network of thousands of campaigns!
If you were reading this guide prior to visiting our application page, you can now go apply to become a MaxBounty affiliate here.
Was this guide helpful? Let us know in the comments below
Yes this guide is incredible helpful and I am happy to have had prior knowledge about the application and hiring process.
I am having trouble completing the application when i get to how did you hear about maxbounty and how do you intend on promoting offers..there seems to be a character limit i have typed my response to be within that limit but still it gives me an error message when i try to move on to the next stage. Please fix that bug
Are you sure you’re not interpreting characters as words? I only ask because we have had affiliates make this error before. Characters are any letter, number, symbol, punctuation AND space. Please keep us updated.
I am stuck where it asks for where I heard about Max bounty. I tried several times and I keep getting the same message. Must be less than 50 characters.
me too
currently as of May 6th 2021, there is not visible link to apply for your program. The link to “how to get approved” works but then the user is taken in circles to try to apply.
Hi Crystal,
To sign up to become an affiliate you need to click ‘Next’ on the right side of the first page of the form.
We are currently in the process of changing this format to make it less confusing.
Please let me know if you are able to progress.
Yes this guide is incredible helpful
I don’t have at this time a scanner to upload my ID
Hi Joe,
You can take a picture of it with your phone and upload those image files.
Hey Joe. Thank you guys for this thorough application guide. I’m not the OP of this thread, just new pre-approved member trying to contact someone and get approved. Got up to the interview stage. Missed the call. Located in US. My manager is in Canada. Had trouble returning the call. My availability is after 3pm Eastern, as I work early. I’m serious about it. Purchased a $1000 CPA course and have a marketing budget ready. Learned the safe, rule-abiding ways to run ads. Thirsty to get started. Don’t wanna give ID or manager name here as I don’t know if that’s meant to be public. But if someone can reach out to me, we can track my info down and I’d love to get everything approved, and to get started. Thank you!
Hey Anthony,
I searched your email in our system and it looks like you have since been approved into our network!
Good luck, and let me know if you need anything else.
Cheers,
Hello, I’ve read all and it’s all ok, but I’ve only one “problem”, because english is not my primary language although I understand well read and write english, I don’t understand speech well.
The problem is with phone call: is it possible bypass it and get same interview by chat or email ?
Thanks
Unfortunately, an application phone call is a mandatory component of our application process.
I am unable to move further on my registration as the ‘describe you past experience in affiliating marketing’ box keeps stating that my description must be between 50-200 characters. I have written 181 words and taken out all the commas and full stop and removed the paragraphs, however, whenever I click the next tab, it won’t let me proceed and keeps stating ‘your description must be between 50-200 characters’.
Do you have a solution?
Hi Lzu,
That’s likely because your 181 words are more than 200 characters. Characters and words are not the same. A character is any letter, number, symbol, punctuation, and space.
I have tried several times but i didn’t get approved and I cant understand why?
Is it mandatory for me to have a website? If yes why? If no why?
It is not mandatory as long as you have a well thought-out plan as to how you will promote campaigns without a website.
01/20/2021, AS IT SEEMS AND ACCORDING TO THE TRAINING GUIDE OF THIS ORGANIZATION IT IS NOT NECESSARY, ALWAYS AND WHEN YOU HAVE A WELL DESIGNED PLAN OF HOW THE CAMPAIGNS WILL BE USED AND WHERE THEY WILL SUPPORT THE TRAFFIC.
It’s pretty helpful. Thanks
I found this information so helpful. I have read these points and find them so helpful in the world of affiliate marketing. I had a slow start but when it picked up it went really well. Go through a reputable company. Individual affiliates can be untrustworthy.
I previously had my account but unfortunately I cannot log in now due to unknown reasons, I am kindly asking if I can appeal or how can get another I tried to get one to no avail.
Your help will be appreciated.
Hi Stanley,
Had it been more than three months since you last logged in? If so, your account was likely deactivated due to dormancy. In this case, it’s best to just re-apply and reference your old account in the new application.
Hope this helps.
I re-applied but did not get help.

Hello,
I just have one question, can i upload a photo of my passport instead of ID card because my ID card is in arabic & french and my passport is in Ar, En & Fr ?

Hi Merouane,
Yes! You can use your passport as your ID in the application.
Cheers.
Does Maxbounty allow affiliates from Africa?
Hi Stanley,
We do, yes!
I have tried to open one several times but have not been successful, wherw I am going wrong…your help will be appreciated
Are you receiving a specific error? If so, what does it say?
My chromebook doesn’t support Skype and even if it did, I don’t need another phone/communications bill. What about Zoom or WhatsApp?
Hi Brian,
You can discuss alternative communication methods with your dedicated Affiliate Manager. In the meantime, you can also communicate with them using Tawk.to.
Here’s some info on how to do that: https://blog.maxbounty.com/2020/03/04/affiliates-contact-maxbounty-tawk/
Hope this helps.
Thanks for getting back me.
Respectfully, Rook
this information is very helpful as it gave me guidance.so i now know what and how to answer certain questions,thanks.
Hi, Can I upload my driving license or passport instead of ID.
Because my national ID card is in Urdu language.
Yes! We accept any valid photo ID in English. Both your driver’s license and passport will work.
Hello,
I received an email from Kate Ardidon, the affiliate manager who was assigned to me that the proper IDs where not received. However, I uploaded my US California Driver’s license which is a government issued ID. I have emailed her with my DL also and left messages but have not received any response. Please advise
This is the next big step I’m taking with my life. may maxbounty help me by making some forum of profit and a chance at a mobile business.
Yes this is a very useful information, this has helped me prepare with the necessary requirements before sign up.
Glad to hear!
Absolutely, this guide was very helpful.
Nice tips, Thank you for the insight. with your tips, I think I am ready to be a Maxbounty affiliate.
Hello, I am trying to sign up to be an affiliate; but it keeps telling me I need to enter a valid phone number (US) and I do on both but it won’t take them
Hi Andrew. What error are you receiving?
I have a US drivers license. Because of COVID-19, the US government extended many driver’s licenses that were due to expire for a year. My license was extended until early August 2021 instead of 2020. Will you accept this as “valid”?
Hi Maureen. Yes, just mention it in the application somewhere if possible.
I really appreciate that you provided these guidelines. Very helpful!
Would have liked the field that asked for description of my previous experience as an affiliate to say (as part of the title) that the limit was 50 – 200 characters! And further, to provide a counter. Even this guide does not mention the limit, and even encourages a thorough description that would easily exceed 200 characters. After spending around 30 minutes thoughtfully describing my experience I was dumbfounded when I got the 50 – 200 character limit message upon hitting the Next button. Then I spent another 15 minutes or so trying to make some comments more succinct, but ended up simply deleting some sentences altogether in order to finally have my description fall below 200 characters and accepted.
Hi Elliott.
I have now added it to this guide and will be letting our team know in regard to the application. Thanks for being patient and providing some feedback!
Hi, does this program work for Social media/YouTube Influencers or website Blogs only?
Many of our campaigns accept social traffic so yes! We have numerous affiliates promoting campaigns on their social channels.
Does MaxBounty allow affiliates from India?
Hi Ambar,
Yes, accept applications from India!
Cheers
Thank you!
I am a newbie to AM/ PM and am wondering, if I don’t know which campaigns I would be accepted to, what should I build my website out to look like to get approval? Thanks!
Hey Sean,
You should have some what of an idea of what type of niche you’d like to promote campaigns in before actually choosing campaigns. Have you given that much thought?
do you have any special treatment for people with communication disabilities (deaf and dumb), as regarding the call?
Hey Alex,
Special accommodations can be taken for sure. If you need help communicating this to your Affiliate Manager please send an email to joef@maxbounty.com.
Very good information. Thank-you.
Hey There
My name is David…
I have some questions to ask before i apply to be an Affiliate on Maxbounty…
My Question is ;
Can i get approved on the platform even though i have never done CPA Marketing but
I have experience on the marketing field (I am a Digital Marketing Intern)
If so what exactly do i say in the Box Where it says Whats your Past Experience In Affiliate Marketing
Hi David,
Yes you can still get approved. In that section just mention that you are new and provide any other digital marketing experience you have. The most important thing is that you have a plan for how you will promote campaigns once approved.
Cheers.
I have described my past experience in affiliate marketing in 175+ words but still it says ,” your description must be between 50-200 characters. Kindly fix the problem.
Hi Zenoor,
That section of the application must be between 50 and 200 *characters* not words. Characters are any letter, number, punctuation AND space. I hope this clears up the confusion.
Cheers.
Hi MaxBounty,
This guide is so helpful.
May I ask if affiliate application from Vietnam could be accepted and approved?
Hi Lucy,
Yes we accept affiliates from Vietnam!
Cheers.
Hi Maxbounty,
Please confirm if an affiliate can promote several offers in different industries?
Hi Franklin,
Technically you can promote as many offers as you want. However, we advise you to take a more focused approach, especially if you’re a beginner.
Cheers,
Hallo Maxbounty!
the guide is very helpful, but some thing i don’t comprehended concerning websit.
to have a website is it mandantory?
Hello! I have a problem with a Describe your past experience in affiliate marketing.* Whatever I try continue to tell me that Characters must be between 50-200. I tried everything, short, long, cut,. nothing. I can’t finish this page and go to another.
Can you help me with this, please?
Hi there,
Are you sure it’s under 200 *characters* and not words? Characters are any number, letter, symbol or space. Let us know if that solves the issue or not.
Hi,
yes, I am sure. I tried with 20, 50,70, 80, 150, 200. Doesn’t work and doesn’t allow me through.
The affiliate page won’t let me register. It keeps saying my email is invalid. I tried a hotmail.com and a gmail.com account but it’s the same message. Any ideas as to what is going on?
Hello,
Is it possible the emails have been used before? If not, please send an email to joef@maxbounty.com and we can discuss processing your application manually if the problem is persisting.
Thank you,

Hey Tegan,
Glad to hear that! That’s exactly the purpose of this guide.
Hi there, I have uploaded my photo within the application process. However I was emailed by the affiliate manager explaining the reason I was rejected is due to not having provided ID. Since then I have emailed with my photo ID and heard nothing back. Keen to try and get this sorted ASAP.
Hey Mike,
Just sent an email to the email you have listed on your website. Please send me a reply and we can follow up on your application and get you into the network.
Thanks.
This is a nice Article.
Recently, I had a change of affiliate manager; from Bianca Aversa to Christena Blair. I was keen to contact my new affiliate manager, instead of waiting patiently for her to message me. I did contacted her through skype and unfortunately for me, I got into the hand of an imposter which made me lose my over 2 year maxbounty affiliate account.
I was just about to start a new application before seeing this article.
I’ve messaged support and different affiliate managers, severally, but to no avail.
Since I own an account in the past, which was never lost as a result of TOS violation, please is there any assistant that can be rendered to expedite the approval of another(new) account for me if I apply?
Thanks and I look forward to receiving your response.
Hey Alade,
I’ve just sent you an email based on the one you provided to post your comment. Please respond to that and we can look into getting your new application accelerated.
Cheers,
I’ve responded to your email. Please check to know what next is expected of me.
Thank you.
Hello Joe!
I just re-applied. Can you check your mail, please?
Thanks!
Getting rejected has always being my fear.
I’ve been rejected; saying my application was not in compliance.
I tried messaging you over email, you failed to respond and now my application was not welcome.
Is this how I’ll lose my maxbounty account and never be able to have a new one?
It’s really painful.
Just in case you are in interested in the one that was rejected, the ID is:
596162
Hello, I was trying to enter to my account with the correct credentials and I couldn´t. In the other hand I can´t find someone for helping me to get access, there is not a chat for support.
Hi Wholfang,
How long has it been since you last logged in? It’s possible your account has been deactivated due to dormancy.
Good night, I had already registered several months ago but today I have seen that my account has been suspended without having violated any rule. Please can you help me solve this problem? Thanks.
Hi Alexander,
When was the last time you logged in?
Hi, it was Sunday, but today I was able to contact my Affiliate Manager and he helped me solve my problem. Thank you.
Yes, this guide has been the most informative and helpful information I have found regarding the application process of becoming an affiliate. It is simple, easy to read, and covers the process in a very detailed manner. I’m confident now that I will be submitting my application to MaxBounty soon. Looking forward to a very profitable future for both of us.
DavidM
This is really amazing! Can anybody from any country apply for the affiliate program?
applied fallowing the guide step by step 🙂 . Finger cross for approval
Hello, what if I have multiple websites that are all in different industries? Do I need to apply separately each time?
Hi Jim,
No you do not! Just use one of the websites in the required feel. You can discuss your other ones once you have your application phone call with one of our Affiliate Managers.
Hello, do you accept Brazil? I meet all the requirements, I don’t speak English, can I be interviewed via skype?
I live in the Netherlands but I am a US citizen. Do I enter my Netherlands address and submit my US ID? My dutch id does not have my address. I do have a business in the Netherlands (registered with a business license). Can I include it on the registration form?
Very nice and helpful post I will apply it tomorrow and I hope I will get approved by the affiliate manager. Btw I will update here what’s going on.
this guide is very help full and have clear content regarding approval of maxbounty affiliate account.
I hope this will help me too. 🙂
Hi Guys – Interested in being an affiliate but can I blank out my ID Number when sending over my identification. I am from Singapore where our National Identification No is linked to all our Retirement, Medical account details etc. Literally everything, so it’s very common target for scammers to try to get it. I am thus very wary of providing this to anyone. So if you guys are OK with the ID number being blanked out e.g. same like blanking out your Credit Card number, it would be great and at the least help to get rid of the worry of unauthorised access to such sensitive details. Thanks
Hey Denis,
Will your name on the application be the same as your name on here? If so, I’ll let our Compliance Team know about this and it shouldn’t be an issue.
Thanks,
Hello! I meet almost all requirements, except the identification document in English, because I am Brazilian and I also do not speak English. Would my approval be possible?
Hello MaxBounty, I have a problem. Please help me join. I do not speak English. I cannot conduct an interview in English. I have been working in the field of affiliate marketing and CPA for more than 8 years and I have successes in that.
Hi Hussam,
You should have just received an email from us where we can discuss this matter in more detail.
Cheers,
I wonder if I should try again and redo the entire application, since no email came through following my submitting my application.
This article was very helpful.
It help me to know the right way to fill the form
Reading the guidelines already mad me feel comfortable. Thanks to the writer(s) for putting this together,
