To use our pre-generated links, log into your Rakuten account. Then go to Links > Get Links > select Udemy > Links > select the link type.
We offer a variety of link types in our program. These links contain the affiliate code and other information, which will ensure that you receive proper commissions for any sales generated when one of your site visitors clicks through our website.
- Text/Email Links: these links are in HTML code. You can add them to emails or use them in articles. You can change the final text visible as well by editing the text in the ‘Link Code’ box.
- Product Links: recommend a particular Udemy course to your visitors by linking directly to it. You may use the product text link, the product image link, or both.
- Banner/image: available in different sizes. Rakuten shows them as HTML code that you can copy and paste. Banners are not specific to a course; they often send people to our Home Page, Udemy.com, or to a specific category.
