The Mikasa Affiliate Network’s Goal is to provide our partners with tools and education on how to grow their business by promoting Mikasa Beauty Products. This page is created to educate and help our affiliates grow and understand how our program works. There are two ways to earn commission and the first method is by making referrals through your Custom Link, the second method is we will generate a personal coupon code that you will be able to use. Also when you have signed up to our affiliate network, you will receive your unique URL that looks like this: Example: Mikasa Beauty Coupon.
The Link Is So Long And Cumbersome, What Can I Do?
We recommend you to visit https://bitly.com/ - all you have to do is copy and paste your custom affiliate link and you will receive a shortened version of your custom link: Example: http://bit.ly/1Umy7wD

What Are The Benefits Of Custom Links Over The Coupon Code?
Sharing your custom link is a better method, but unfortunately, not every social media platform allows link sharing in posts, such as Instagram. This is the main reason why we offer a second option of creating your own Custom Coupon Code, which we will discuss on another thread. Here are the benefits:

1) Custom Link allows you to track Impression (How many people viewed your link)
2) Custom Link allows you to track Clicks (How many people clicked on your link)
3) Once a customer enters our site through your Custom Link, you will receive commission on all sales for up to 30 Days (Commission for Coupon Codes only activates when used in a sale since it has no tracking system)

Where Can I Post The Link?
You can post the link anywhere you want: Here are the top places we recommend:

1) Your Instagram Profile – make sure you use captions. Example: Save 15% Off on Mikasa Makeup Brushes! Click Here: Mikasa Beauty Coupon
2) Facebook: You can post the link on your post and profile. Make sure you include captions to make people aware of what you’re sharing.
3) Twitter: Post and Profile.
4) YouTube: Include it in your video description along with captions.
5) Blog: Include the link on your blog + post.

Can I Advertise The Link Plus My Custom Coupon Code?
Yes, we recommend using both methods. If your followers don’t end up entering our site through your Custom Link, but uses your coupon code, you will still earn commission.
