Upkazi Affiliate Program – Earn with Purpose

Help Build Africa’s Freelance Future (and Get Paid While Doing It)

Welcome to the Upkazi Affiliate Program, where your network earns you money – and your voice empowers Africa’s digital workforce.
Whether you’re a freelancer, entrepreneur, content creator, or student, you can earn commissions simply by sharing Upkazi, Africa’s freelance marketplace built for local talent and global reach.

When you promote Upkazi, you don’t just earn – you help thousands of Africans find work, clients, and opportunity.

How It Works

1. Join for Free

Anyone can become an affiliate – no approval needed.
Simply log into your Upkazi account and open the Affiliate Dashboard.

2. Generate Your Unique Link

Paste any Upkazi page (for example: a gig, category, or the homepage) into the link generator and click “Generate.”
That’s your personal tracking link. Every click and sign-up is recorded under your name.

3. Share Your Link Anywhere

Post your affiliate link anywhere your audience spends time:

  • WhatsApp, Facebook, or TikTok
  • Instagram bio or YouTube video descriptions
  • X (Twitter), LinkedIn, or blogs
  • Telegram channels or newsletters
    There’s no limit – the more you share, the more you earn.

4. Earn Commissions Automatically

When someone clicks your link and either buys or sells on Upkazi, you earn a percentage of that transaction.
Your balance updates in real time and can be withdrawn anytime.

Commission Plan

Every time someone you referred completes a transaction on Upkazi, you earn a commission.

You earn a percentage each time your referral buys a service or sells a service. It doesn’t stop there – your earnings continue for every new transaction that person makes in the future. This means you earn from both sides of the marketplace: from freelancers offering services and from clients purchasing them.

Your maximum earning per referral can reach up to $50 USD, and there is no cookie expiry. Once a user registers through your affiliate link, they remain permanently connected to you – even if they use the platform years later.

All commissions are automatically added to your affiliate wallet, which updates in real time. You can withdraw your earnings in USD, UGX, or KES, using MTN MoMo, Airtel Money, Visa/Mastercard, or Bank Transfer.

Upkazi’s lifetime referral model means that one successful introduction can keep rewarding you for as long as your referral keeps working or hiring through the platform.

Example

You share your Upkazi affiliate link with a friend in Nairobi.
She signs up, buys a website design service – you earn a commission.
Later, she starts selling her own gigs – every time she gets paid, you earn again.

You introduced her once. You continue earning every time she works.
That’s the beauty of Upkazi’s lifetime referral model.

Who Can Join

Upkazi’s affiliate program is open to everyone – no experience required.
If you have influence, reach, or even a few active friends online, you can earn.

Perfect for:

  • Freelancers who already use Upkazi
  • Business owners and entrepreneurs
  • Influencers, YouTubers, and content creators
  • University students or graduates
  • NGOs, tech hubs, and digital trainers

All you need is your link – and your drive.

Affiliate Dashboard Features

Inside your affiliate panel, you can:

  • Track signups, clicks, and conversions in real time
  • See lifetime earnings at a glance
  • Download banners, flyers, or media assets
  • Request withdrawals instantly
  • View reports by country, traffic, or category

Everything updates automatically. No waiting, no manual approvals.

Best Practices

  1. Understand the platform. Learn how freelancers earn and how clients hire.
  2. Promote stories, not just links. Talk about real success – Africans working and earning on Upkazi.
  3. Educate your audience. Explain why Upkazi is safe, fast, and built for Africa.
  4. Be honest. Never exaggerate or mislead. Upkazi grows on trust.
  5. Be consistent. Post weekly, share in groups, and engage your audience.

The more active you are, the stronger your network becomes.

Why Upkazi’s Affiliate Program Stands Out

  • Lifetime tracking – your referrals never expire
  • Earnings from both buyers and sellers
  • Real-time commission monitoring
  • Mobile money and global payment options
  • Trusted African brand with a global reach
  • Purpose-driven – you’re not just earning, you’re empowering

Be More Than an Influencer – Be a Builder

Upkazi is more than a platform. It’s a movement – built by Africans, for Africa, with the world in mind.
Every freelancer you refer gets a chance to earn.
Every client you bring helps a business grow.
Every share you make builds Africa’s freelance economy.

So you’re not just earning commissions – you’re building opportunity.
