How can I monetize Discord through affiliation?

Creating a Discord community: the first step

Before thinking about monetizing a Discord server, it is of course essential to create one.

Go to the official Discord website and follow the registration steps. It's easy: just a few clicks and your account will be created. Once you've logged on to the Discord application (also available on Windows and Mac), you can start creating chat rooms for your community.

💡Our advice: assign clear themes to your trade shows. This will facilitate exchanges between members and stimulate discussions on specific topics. Take the time you need for this crucial step. You can always adjust your salons later to optimize interactions.

Create a Discord room dedicated to affiliation

Let's get to the heart of the matter: how can you monetize your Discord server? Communities often exchange tips and product recommendations related to their areas of interest. The idea here is to ensure that the links shared on your server are affiliate links, so that you can earn a commission on purchases made after clicking on these links.

Of course, your first instinct will probably be to create affiliate links and share them directly in a Discord room. That's already a good start! But you can go even further.

💡Our tip: use a service to shorten URLs, like bit.ly or Affilizz. This will make your discussions more readable by avoiding excessively long links.

Automate Discord affiliation with a bot

To take your server monetization a step further, Affilizz has developed a unique bot to automate affiliation on Discord. Here's how it works!

Introducing the Affilizz bot for Discord

If you've never heard of the Affilizz bot for Discord, and you manage a server for your community, these next few lines should interest you. The Affilizz bot is an automated assistant that you can integrate into your chat rooms to automatically convert merchant links into affiliate links.

Here are the two main features of the Affilizz bot when it detects an "affiliable" merchant link (linked to one of the more than 6,000 Affilizz partner merchants):

1. It creates a message summarizing the essential information of the shared offer (product title, price, link, seller's name, image, etc.).
2. It generates a price comparison table for the item mentioned (with seller names, prices, images and product descriptions).

As you can see, the Affilizz bot is the ideal tool for monetizing a Discord server.

Firstly, every link posted on your server is automatically transformed into an affiliate link, saving you precious time. What's more, by displaying all relevant information related to the offer, you make it easy for your community, who no longer need to search for these details elsewhere... And are less likely to forget to click on your affiliate link!

Setting up a Discord bot with Affilizz

Would you like to integrate this bot Discord and generate affiliate income passively? All you need to do is follow these simple steps:

1. Register for free on Affilizz (if you haven't already done so).
2. Set up your first channels, including your Discord server, following the instructions provided when you registered.
3. In your Discord channel settings, go to the Bots & integrations section. Click on "Add a bot" and follow the steps indicated.

This will enable you to quickly set up your Discord bot. If you encounter any difficulties, we strongly recommend that you consult this tutorial in our Help Center.

Using the bot on a daily basis

Once you've set up the bot on your Discord server, using it is child's play! How does it work? It's as simple as it sounds: copy and paste a link from a partner merchant into the Discord room you've set up, and everything else happens automatically. Practical, isn't it?
