# Affiliate Onboarding Sequence Design the sequence that moves a newly approved affiliate to their first tracked conversion. Most programs activate only a small minority of approved affiliates - practitioner estimates cluster around 5-20%, a convergent range rather than a controlled measurement - so the sequence's whole job is to compress time-to-first-conversion while intent is still warm. Two commitments run through everything below: - **Day offsets are a starting skeleton, not a standard.** Documented practitioner consensus is 4-6 touches over 10-14 days, but every sourced practitioner favors behavior triggers - first click, first sale, no-click-by-day-N - layered on top of, and overriding, the calendar. - **An affiliate who cannot get a working link cannot activate.** Provisioning and tracking readiness is the pre-condition of the sequence, never a touch inside it. Two entry paths, both starting with the Interview: - Build from scratch - "write the welcome emails for affiliates we just approved", "design our affiliate onboarding sequence", "what should new partners get in their first 30 days?" - run the full Workflow. - Diagnose a running sequence - "our approved affiliates never send a click", "nobody activates after the welcome email" - run the Interview, then jump to Diagnosing an existing sequence before touching the plan. ## Interview Ask one question per message; offer the multiple-choice options where given.
