Brand Ambassador FAQ

As a Brand Ambassador, you’ll have your own set of unique referral links you can use to direct traffic to Rigging Lab Academy courses and memberships you want to promote.

Provided that a person’s first ever visit to Rigging Lab Academy is via your Brand Ambassador referral link, this activity will be tracked so that if they go on to make a purchase, you will be credited for that sale. This will happen even if the visitor doesn’t sign up for a user account on Rigging Lab Academy at first. If they come back at a later point to sign up and make a purchase, it will be credited to you, so the first visit is the key!

Your commission is calculated based on any future purchases the user makes on an ongoing basis (including each installment of a monthly or annual membership or payment plan).

Please see the “What are the technical details I should know about?” question below for further details.

It’s easy! Just fill out the application form on our Brand Ambassador Page and a member of our team will get back to you as soon as possible (usually within 48 hours).

When a user first visits the Rigging Lab Academy site, we drop a cookie onto their browser. If they reached the Rigging Lab Academy site via a referral link, the cookie that’s dropped will remember this information.

About Cookies:

The cookie from the first visit must be present when the user signs up or purchases a product in order for you, the Brand Ambassador, to receive credit. Once the user signs up and the association is established on the user’s profile, the cookie is redundant and you will receive credit for any future purchases. If a user that comes through a referral link does not sign up or purchase within 30 days, but comes back after 30 days to sign up or purchase the Brand Ambassador is not credited any commission.

If a user coming to your site via a referral link had previously created an account or made a purchase at Rigging Lab Academy, before clicking on the referral link, any new purchases made will not be associated with the Brand Ambassador. This is true regardless of whether or not the user was previously associated to any Brand Ambassador or not. If they had previously made an account they cannot be counted toward a new Brand Ambassador.
