Can I Purchase from My Own Affiliate Links on Involve Asia?

It might seem like an easy way to earn commission, but buying through your own affiliate links is not recommended — and in many cases, not allowed.

Affiliate marketing works best when you promote to others. By sharing your links on approved platforms and building an audience, you create real value for advertisers and earn from genuine engagement.


Why Self-Purchases Are Not Allowed

  • Violates Advertiser Agreements: Many advertisers, including Shopee, have strict “no self-purchase” rules.

  • Risk of Rejected Conversions: Self-purchases can lead to your conversions being marked invalid.

  • Possible Removal from Programmes: Advertisers may remove you from their programme if self-purchases are detected.

  • Unfair Advantage: Inflates results without genuine marketing effort.


What Happens If You Do It

Involve Asia and advertisers use order, payment, and tracking data to detect self-purchases. If found:

  • The conversion will be rejected in your Conversion Report.

  • You may be blocked from the offer or removed from the advertiser’s programme.

  • Repeated violations can lead to account suspension.


Focus on Long-Term Success

For sustainable earnings:

  • Promote offers to friends, family, and your audience.

  • Use approved promotion methods like social media, blogs, or cashback platforms.

  • Avoid making purchases through your own affiliate links — buy directly from the advertiser’s site instead.


Tip: Always check the Offer Description before promoting, as some advertisers have stricter rules than others.
