Frequently Asked Questions
How to join, create your personal article links, share them, track your results, and earn — explained simply.
1. Joining the Network
What is The Immortal Times Creator Network?
It is a referral-based creator program. You share articles from The Immortal Times using your own tracking links. Qualifying activity from those links can contribute to your earnings under the Program’s rules.
How do I join?
Create your website login on the application page, then submit the creator application using the same email address. We review applications before activating creator access.
Does it cost anything to apply?
No. Applying is free.
Do I need a huge following?
No. You can apply with the social profiles and audience you already have. Applications are reviewed, and approval is not automatic.
When can I use my dashboard?
After your application is approved and your account is connected to your creator referral ID, you can sign in and create personal article links.
Does approval guarantee earnings?
No. Approval gives you access to the program. Earnings depend on the quality and results of qualifying activity. There is no guaranteed income.
2. Creating and Sharing Your Links
How do I create my personal referral link?
Find a published article on The Immortal Times. Copy its web address, open your Creator Dashboard, paste the address into the link converter, and generate your personal link.
What do I share with my audience?
Share the personal referral link created by your dashboard. Do not share the regular article URL if you want the visit attributed to your creator account.
Where can I share my links?
You can share them on your genuine social media accounts, website, newsletter, or community where links are allowed. Always follow the rules of the platform you use.
Can I create links for different articles?
Yes. Convert each published article URL separately so activity can be associated with the correct article and your creator account.
Can I use my phone?
Yes. You can use the website and dashboard from a phone, tablet, or computer with an internet connection.
3. Tracking and Qualifying Activity
What does the tracking link do?
It identifies that a visitor arrived through your personal referral link. This helps the Network attribute referral activity to your creator account and the article being shared.
Does every click count toward earnings?
No. A raw click is not automatically a qualifying visit or an earning. Activity may be reviewed for authenticity, quality, engagement, location, repeat activity, and compliance with the Program rules.
What is qualifying activity?
Qualifying activity is genuine, permitted referral traffic that meets the Program’s quality and validation rules. The review may consider whether visits are real, where they come from, whether visitors meaningfully engage with the content, and whether the traffic follows the rules.
Why might my dashboard show fewer visits than my social post received?
Not every social view becomes a website visit. Some browsers and apps block or remove referral information, and privacy settings or technical issues can prevent some visits from being recorded. Tracking is not a perfect count of everyone who sees or clicks a post.
Are referral clicks the same as website pageviews or unique visitors?
No. Referral clicks, website pageviews, unique visitors, ad impressions, and ad clicks are different measurements. Your tracking report should not be treated as a count of all people who saw your post.
Can I send myself clicks or ask people to click repeatedly?
No. Do not use bots, fake accounts, click exchanges, paid-to-click services, automated refreshes, forced redirects, or any method that creates artificial activity. Do not ask people to click repeatedly just to increase your numbers.
4. How Earnings Work
How do I earn money?
Your personal links bring visitors to The Immortal Times. When genuine, verifiable referral traffic meets the Program’s qualifying standards and can be reliably associated with actual publisher revenue, it can generate a creator commission under the Compensation & Payment Policy.
How much do affiliates earn?
The current target commission is approximately 10% of actual publisher revenue attributable to your qualifying, verifiable referral traffic. This is a share of the Publication’s attributable revenue—not 10% of every click, all website revenue, or estimated earnings. The exact approved amount depends on verified traffic, actual revenue received, provider adjustments, and the Program’s reconciliation process.
What does “verifiable traffic” mean?
It means genuine visits that can reasonably be traced to your personal referral link and checked against available tracking, analytics, traffic-quality, and monetization reports. The review may consider valid sessions, source, country, device, article engagement, suspicious patterns, and whether the traffic complies with platform and advertising-provider rules. If the available records cannot reliably connect activity to actual revenue, that activity may remain pending and will not be treated as approved earnings.
Am I paid a fixed amount for every click?
No. There is no fixed payment per click or visit. The target commission is approximately 10% of actual publisher revenue attributable to qualifying, verifiable referral traffic—not a rate paid for raw clicks.
Do I earn from every person who visits?
No. Visits must be genuine and meet the Program’s qualifying standards. Invalid, artificial, or non-qualifying activity does not create earnings.
Does the number in my dashboard mean that money is ready to withdraw?
Not necessarily. Tracked activity and estimated earnings can still require validation and review. Only an amount marked approved or payable under the Program’s process should be treated as ready for payment.
Why can earnings change after activity is tracked?
Initial figures may be estimates. Results can change after traffic-quality checks, reporting delays, revenue reconciliation, and review of qualifying activity. The final approved amount is the amount confirmed through the Program’s review process.
Is there a guaranteed amount I will make?
No. Earnings depend on qualifying activity and verified results. Your audience size, clicks, or time spent sharing links do not guarantee a specific amount.
Do you pay creators for clicking ads?
No. Ad clicks, ad views, and ad impressions are never a way to earn creator compensation. Never ask anyone to click or interact with ads.
5. Payments
When do I get paid?
Payments are made after eligible earnings have been reviewed and approved, according to the Program’s payment process. The payment threshold and schedule will be shown in the published Compensation & Payment Policy or your dashboard once established. Only approved commissions based on actual reconciled revenue are eligible for payment.
How will I receive my payment?
Available payment methods and any required account details will be shown in the Program’s payment instructions. Never send your password, full card number, or bank login information.
Why is my balance pending?
Pending means the amount or activity has not completed the review and approval process. It is not yet a confirmed payment.
Are creators responsible for taxes?
Yes. You are responsible for your own tax obligations as required by law. The Program may request legally required tax information before issuing payment.
6. Rules and Account Safety
Can I buy traffic to increase my referrals?
Do not buy traffic or use traffic vendors unless you have received written approval first. Even approved sources must comply with the rules of the advertising and social platforms involved.
Can I use bots, click farms, or traffic exchanges?
No. Fake or automated activity, click farms, paid-to-click traffic, traffic exchanges, forced redirects, and misleading promotions are prohibited.
Do I need to disclose that I am part of the program?
When you receive compensation or another benefit connected to a promotion, clearly disclose that relationship. Use simple wording such as “Ad” or “Sponsored” where required, and follow applicable law and platform rules.
Can I ask readers to click website advertisements?
No. Never ask, hint, or reward anyone for clicking, viewing, refreshing, or interacting with ads. This can put the website and your account at risk.
Can I share my dashboard login?
No. Keep your login private. Your dashboard and referral records are for your account only.
Can my account be suspended?
Yes. Artificial traffic, fraud, spam, misleading promotions, security problems, or other serious rule violations may lead to links being paused or account access being restricted while the issue is reviewed.
