Initial Sign-up

The button to use to sign-up is below these videos. On the sign-up page, you'll see this video again.

Link Your PayPal account

You won't get an affiliate link until you've:

been approved
linked your Paypal account.

So, while waiting, I'd recommend doing that. (I don't have a video for that, but it's straightforward enough).

Once approved...

Next is to link your PayPal account.

Link Your PayPal account
