1. The goal
The goal is to earn $1,063.09. One thousand sixty-three dollars and nine cents. That is the number on the wall. Every lesson, every link, and every sale is aimed at that number.
On Digistore24, a commission shows up as pending earnings after someone buys through your link. Pending means Digistore is holding that commission through the refund window, then it pays out. Your job is to stack those commissions until pending and paid add up to $1,063.09.
2. What an affiliate is
An affiliate is a recommender who gets paid only when a sale happens. Think of a church friend who says, “This Bible study helped me. Here is where I bought it.” If the store agreed to pay a commission, and the friend used a special link, the store pays the friend a slice of that sale. The friend did not invent the product. The friend did not take the payment. The store did both.
Affiliate marketing is that job, done on the internet. The store pays you a commission when a buyer uses your link.
3. What Digistore24 is
Digistore24 is the store and the cash register. It is a real company (Digistore24, Inc., St. Petersburg, Florida). Two kinds of people use it:
- Vendors put products up for sale. They set the price and the commission.
- Affiliates pick those products and share a personal link. That is the role in Cash For Christ.
When a buyer pays, Digistore24 takes the card payment, delivers the product, handles the refund if there is one, and writes the affiliate’s commission into that affiliate’s account. You do not invoice the buyer. You do not store their card.
4. Open the account, one box at a time
Go to digistore24.com/en/signup. The account is free. You are not buying a product on this screen.
- If a cookie box covers the form, click Allow all or close it. That box is not part of the signup.
- Under “I want to…”, click Promote — Earn as an affiliate. Do not click Sell unless you are also listing your own product.
- Type your real first name, last name, and an email you actually check.
- Make a password you can remember. Finish the email confirmation Digistore sends. If it is not in the inbox, check spam.
- When you are inside, add a payout method only when Digistore asks. Help article: payout account setup. No payout method means they cannot send money later, even if you earn it.
5. Words you will see inside
These are the words you will see inside Digistore, and what each one means while you work toward $1,063.09.
| Word on the screen | What it means |
|---|---|
| Marketplace | The shelf of products other people are selling. You browse it. You do not buy them for yourself unless you want the product. |
| Promote | The button that gives you a personal link for that product. |
| Commission | Your slice of a sale. A product page shows the rate. 50% of a $37 sale is $18.50. The vendor sets the rate. |
| Promo link / affiliate link | A web address with your ID in it. If you share a normal link with no ID, you do not get paid. |
| Cookie / 180 days | Digistore can remember that the click came from you for up to 180 days. A later purchase can still be yours. |
| Earnings / balance | Commissions from sales that used your link. This is the number you are growing to $1,063.09. |
| Pending | A commission Digistore is holding through the refund window, before payout. This is where $1,063.09 shows up on the way to getting paid. |
| Payout | Digistore sending the cleared money to PayPal or a bank. Their public payout page says affiliates can be paid up to three times a week, with no minimum threshold stated on that page. |
6. How $1,063.09 is actually built
You earn $1,063.09 by adding commissions until the total hits it. Here is the path.
A $37 product that pays a 50% commission puts $18.50 on your side of the ledger per sale.
$1,063.09 ÷ $18.50 = about 58 sales.
A $97 product at 50% is $48.50 a sale. $1,063.09 ÷ $48.50 = about 22 sales.
After each sale, that slice shows as pending earnings while the refund window runs. Digistore then pays it out. Keep adding until the total is $1,063.09.
Keep a paper scoreboard: sales, commission each, pending, paid, and the gap left to $1,063.09. Crossing $18.50 is a real win. Crossing $100 is a real win. The big number is the sum of those small ones.
7. Pick one product
Do not promote twenty things. Pick one you would hand to someone at church without embarrassment. On the marketplace, read the commission, the price, and what the buyer actually receives. If you cannot explain the product in two sentences, do not share it yet.
Faith-friendly categories people already understand: Bible studies, family devotionals, budgeting courses, marriage helps, health habits. Pick something you would be glad to put in front of your church.
8. What traffic is
Traffic means people. Not cars. A person who can see your link. People click. Clicks become sales. Sales become the $1,063.09.
Beginner traffic, in the order a new person can actually do it:
- People you already know. A text, an email, or a church small-group chat. Tell them the product and send your link.
- A simple page or post you own. A Facebook post, a short email, a blog note. One link. One clear reason the product helped.
- Search and content. A useful answer people are already looking for, with your link only where it belongs.
- Paid ads. Facebook or Google ads put your link in front of more people, faster.
Digistore counts a click when someone opens your link. It counts a sale when that person pays. Sales are what move you to $1,063.09.
9. The first share
Copy the promo link from the Promote button. Paste it into a note so you use the same address later. Then send this:
“I am going through a short study called [name]. It costs $[price]. If you buy from my link, the store pays me a commission. No pressure. Here is the link.”
When someone buys, write the commission on the scoreboard and mark it pending until Digistore pays it. That pending line is the first step toward $1,063.09.
10. Hit the number
Keep sharing the link. Keep logging every commission. Pending earnings are the commissions on the way to your account. Paid earnings are the ones Digistore has sent. The goal is to earn $1,063.09.
