Following 's question about creating an affiliate account and 's prompt about where to start, the following is a concise, practical primer describing how publisher sign-ups usually work, what to prepare, and common pitfalls.

Common sign-up workflow:

  • Choose the program type: direct merchant program, an affiliate network (shared programs for many merchants), or a marketplace. Compare cookie window, commission model, allowed promo channels, and approval rules.
  • Prepare required details: website or social profile links, a short description of traffic sources and promo methods, contact and payment info, and applicable tax documentation.
  • Apply: complete the publisher registration form and submit the requested URLs. Some programs auto-approve; others manually review content and traffic before granting links.
  • After approval: retrieve tracking links and creatives from the dashboard, test links to confirm tracking, implement clear affiliate-disclosure text, and connect analytics to monitor conversions.
  • Payments: check payout method, minimum payout, schedule, and any fees or currency issues the program uses.

Troubleshooting and cautions: common reasons for rejection are thin or irrelevant site content, lack of visible traffic, restricted product categories, or undisclosed promotional methods. Fixes include adding quality content, documenting traffic sources, and contacting the affiliate manager for guidance. Avoid prohibited practices (cookie-stuffing, misleading claims, or using banned advertising methods). Also follow the program TOS and legal disclosure rules in the publisher's jurisdiction.

A practical approach is to shortlist two or three merchants, prepare the required site/channel info before applying, and keep copies of registration and tax paperwork. Most publisher-facing programs let publishers join without an upfront fee; costs are more likely when using third-party program software or merchant-side services.

Then you need to check the FAQs at the ecommerce sites you want to affiliate with.

Or, if you really want an answer here: yes it's free, or there can be a cost involved.
