Affiliate Link Optional
You can CHOOSE to be an affiliate, in which case we can track your ad through to conversions and also pay you 30% of the revenue. HOWEVER, you can still enter and win without being an affiliate. You'd just need to score very high on the other funnel stages (views, comments, and clicks).

Additional promotion
You are welcome to post your video and affiliate link on other platforms and any clicks and conversions will count towards your score. However, you CANNOT do a paid boost anywhere, as that would make the contest unfair. Anybody caught doing a paid boost on any platform is disqualified. You still get the data and affiliate comission, but can't win the grand prize.
