Affiliate Onboarding & Portal Build

Case Study: Affiliate Onboarding & Portal Build

Client:
Growth Factor AI – Digital Growth & Automation Platform

The Challenge

Growth Factor AI was expanding fast.
The team had creators, marketers, and agencies eager to promote their all-in-one automation platform — but no system to manage them.

No structured onboarding.
No affiliate dashboard.
No visibility on referral tracking or payouts.

They had the demand.
They just didn’t have the infrastructure.

The Solution

As a digital systems architect, I designed and deployed a complete white-label affiliate portal inside GoHighLevel — fast, clean, and scalable.

🚀 Key System Components:

• Branded Affiliate Dashboard: Custom GHL portal skin with embedded training + assets

• Automated Onboarding: Signup → Welcome Email → Access Approval → Training Access

• Referral Tracking: Unique affiliate links, synced with internal tracking sheet

• Commission System: Google Sheets payout tracker with Zapier triggers for alerts and validation

• Bonus Layer: Tiered rewards and unlocks for high performers

Results

• 25 affiliates onboarded in the first 30 days

• $5,000+ in tracked referral revenue within 6 weeks

• 100% automation on onboarding and link delivery

• Improved transparency and motivation for every partner

Tools Used

• CRM/Portal: GoHighLevel

• Automation: Zapier

• Tracking: Google Sheets

• Content: Canva + Loom (for affiliate training content)

Final Thoughts

Affiliate marketing isn’t about flashy dashboards — it’s about systems.
You need structure, tracking, automation, and a brand experience that converts affiliates into believers.
