First Steps as a Sparkforge Affiliate

By Sparkforge Support Team ·Last reviewed May 3, 2026

After joining the Sparkforge affiliate program, log in to the FirstPromoter-powered portal, set up Tipalti to receive payouts, and share your referral link. Tier 1 pays 40% recurring; Tier 2 pays an additional 5%.

You earn 40% recurring on every Tier 1 referral that subscribes to Sparkforge, plus an additional 5% on Tier 2 referrals brought in by your direct referrals. Two setup steps unlock payouts.

Step 1: Log in to your Affiliate Portal

Sparkforge uses FirstPromoter to track referrals. If you run an active Sparkforge agency, the Affiliate Portal is available inside your account. If not, log in directly at affiliate.sparkforge.com/login.

Step 2: Set up Tipalti to receive commissions

Tipalti handles affiliate payouts. You must complete Tipalti onboarding before any commission can be withdrawn.

  • Active Sparkforge agency: configure Tipalti from inside your Affiliate Portal.
  • No active Sparkforge subscription: contact support to request a Tipalti setup link.

Step 3: Start sharing your referral link

Your referral link tracks every signup back to your account. Share it in content, emails, social posts, and one-on-one conversations. Commissions begin the day a referral converts to a paid plan.

Where the link works best

  • Comparison content (e.g., switching from a competitor)
  • Industry-specific recommendations to peers
  • YouTube descriptions and podcast show notes
  • Direct conversations with operators already evaluating tools
