Are you tired of managing your affiliate program without seeing significant results? HighLevel Affiliate Manager's features might just convince you to switch now.
A little backstory here…
HighLevel started its affiliate program with FirstPromoter as it was the most affordable option at the time. However, FirstPromoter’s pricing structure was designed to charge you more if you make more in your affiliate program.
With HighLevel’s fast-growing affiliate program, they had two options: buy out FirstPromoter or build their own affiliate tool. After FirstPromoter declined their offer, they took matters into their own hands.
Enter the HighLevel Affiliate Manager–a system within the CRM made to keep track of affiliates more easily.
Today, we’ll discuss the differences between FirstPromoter and HighLevel affiliate systems. We’ll also cover some of the upgrades inside HighLevel Affiliate Manager, factors to consider when making the switch, and valuable tips to kickstart your affiliate program.
Let’s jump right into it!

Introduction (00:00)

ManyChat has long been recognized as the category king for Facebook messaging automation. But NOT anymore.
It might seem unbelievable, considering ManyChat’s dominance in the space for years and the common misconception that it’s owned by Facebook (we all thought about it at some point). However, a new big player in the space is taking Facebook messaging automation to the next level. That’s right, and that’s none other than (drum roll, please)... HighLevel!
Join me and my co-host, Tyler Jorgenson, in this week’s episode as we discuss the end of the ManyChat era. We’ll explore how HighLevel’s innovative features not only compete with but surpass ManyChat and why switching to HighLevel could be your best decision yet.
