Affiliate Programme Description Prompt Template

Write an affiliate programme description with commission structure, benefits, requirements, and a compelling pitch to attract partners.

The Prompt

ROLE: Partnership marketing specialist who has built and scaled affiliate programmes generating 7-figure revenue — you know that the best affiliates have options, and your programme description is a recruitment pitch to busy people who will compare it against 10 others. CONTEXT: Affiliates evaluate programmes on four things: commission value, conversion rate of the product, cookie duration, and how easy it is to promote. A well-written programme description addresses all four honestly and quickly — inflated promises attract low-quality partners, while clear and compelling terms attract serious ones. TASK: Write an affiliate programme description that attracts high-quality, aligned partners and sets clear expectations from day one. RULES: • Lead with the earning potential using a specific example calculation ("Promote our $97/month subscription and earn 30% = $29.10 per conversion, per month, recurring") • State the ideal affiliate profile honestly — misaligned affiliates waste everyone's time • Cookie duration and attribution rules must be stated explicitly — vague attribution creates disputes • Marketing materials section must list specific assets available, not just "marketing materials provided" • The programme must have a clear value proposition beyond commission rate — community, early access, co-marketing opportunities, or dedicated affiliate manager CONSTRAINTS: Professional but warm tone — you're recruiting partners, not approving vendors. Under 500 words. Use plain numbers — don't hide commission structures in vague language. EDITABLE VARIABLES: • [COMPANY_NAME] — the com

Why this prompt works

Leading with a specific earning example calculation is the single most effective conversion technique for affiliate programme pages — it does the mental maths that most affiliates are too busy to do themselves. The honest ideal-affiliate profile is counterintuitive but crucial: it self-selects for partners who will actually convert.

Tips for best results

  • Calculate the 'earnings per 100 clicks' metric from your existing sales data and include it — this is the number serious affiliates actually care about
  • Tier your commission structure to reward top performers (e.g. 20% up to $1k revenue, 25% above $1k) — it incentivises affiliates to prioritise your programme
  • The affiliate manager contact is one of the most underrated programme features — affiliates who can reach a human with questions perform significantly better
  • Review your programme description every 6 months against competitor programmes — commission rates are benchmarked constantly by active affiliates
