Badges show a partner's standing on WarriorPlus and JVZoo right now. Launch Manager saves them, shows them as small pills next to each partner, lets you filter by them, and uses them in the Value Score.
A partner with strong badges is an active, proven affiliate, even if they have not sold much for you yet.
WarriorPlus badges:
- T1%, T5%, T10%, T25%: Top Affiliate tiers. Only the highest tier shows.
- Star and Elite: Superstar Affiliate and Elite Affiliate.
- Vnd (Vendor in the launch pipeline): Top or Elite Vendor tiers.
Deal of the Day wins are saved too, and you can filter by them, though they have no pill of their own.
JVZoo badges:
- Prem Aff: Premium Affiliate, the highest affiliate tier.
- Est Aff: Established Affiliate.
- Prem Sel: Premium Seller.
- POTD: Product of the Day winner, with the number of wins.
How badges are filled in:
- Visit the partner's WarriorPlus member profile or JVZoo public profile.
- Click the W+ Fetch Profile or JVZoo Fetch Profile bookmarklet.
- Their badges, followers, rating and the rest of their profile are saved to the partner.
See Leaderboard Scraper for how to install the bookmarklets.
Where badges show:
- The Badges column on the Partners list
- The WarriorPlus and JVZoo cards on each partner's page
- The pipeline table on each of your launches
- The Top Affiliates Brag Sheet, the public leaderboard and the [lm_top_partners] shortcode
- The partner PDF report
Filtering by badge:
On the Partners list, the Badges menu filters to partners with a given badge: Top 1%, Top 5% or Top 10% Affiliate, Elite Affiliate, Top 1% or Top 5% Vendor, Elite Vendor, Deal of the Day or any W+ badge, and on JVZoo Premium Affiliate, Premium Seller, Product of the Day or any JVZoo badge. Combine it with the Platform and Status menus. On a launch, the All Badges menu above the pipeline does the same, with Top 25% Affiliate, Superstar Affiliate, Established Affiliate, Has Any Badge and No Badges as well.
A real example:
Dana fetches the profiles of her top 20 partners. Marcus Bellweather now shows T1%, Star and Vendor on WarriorPlus and Prem Aff and Prem Sel on JVZoo. She filters the Partners list to Top 1% Affiliate with Status set to Has Received, and works through the list for her next launch.
Tips:
- Fetch profiles for your top 50 partners first. That covers most of your sales.
- Badges change over time. Refresh a partner's profile before an important launch.
- Badges feed the authority part of the Value Score. See Smart Value Score.
