What is Referral link?

A referral link is a personal web link that tells a platform you sent a visitor, so a sign-up or purchase that follows can be credited to you.

Referral links usually carry a short code. When someone opens it, the platform remembers the code for a limited time; if they buy or apply in that window, it counts as your referral.

Share links where people already ask you for advice: WhatsApp groups, LinkedIn posts, your blog. Track which channel works with the creator UTM link builder.
