Who it's for

Introduce local businesses to customers who are already searching

As an affiliate, you'll introduce local companies to our online directory and help potential customers discover useful services in your area.

Whether you want a flexible side income or a longer-term path in local business outreach, you can grow at your own pace. We provide training, marketing materials, onboarding and support to help you start.

Be clear about what you'll do

  • Visit, call or message local business owners and show them Finelib.com.
  • Share your referral links and banners on WhatsApp, social media or your website.
  • Help owners sign up at finelib.com/business. They always pay Finelib directly.
  • No fees, no quotas and no territory limits. Work anywhere in Nigeria, on your own schedule.

Why businesses say yes to Finelib

Five benefits you'll learn to explain

Local citations

A correct, permanent listing of the business name, address and phone on a trusted Nigerian directory. Consistent details like these support local and "near me" search results.

AI search discoverability

AI assistants and AI search build answers from clear information on the web. A well-structured Finelib listing improves the chance a business is found when people ask for a service in their area.

Stronger branding

A complete listing makes a business look established. Enhanced ads and Top Listing banners put the name in front of customers again and again.

Visibility that leads to sales

Found, chosen, contacted, sold. Clear details and a higher position turn searches into calls, WhatsApp messages and visits.

Finelib Match

Buyers request quotes and offers through Finelib Match, which appears across Finelib. Enhanced and Top Listings are guaranteed among the first 5 businesses buyers see.

Full training included

Each benefit has its own lesson with simple words and scripts you can use with business owners face to face or on WhatsApp.

Fair rules that protect everyone

Every affiliate accepts these when joining

Not employment

Affiliates are independent. You are not a Finelib employee, staff member or agent, there is no salary, and you never present yourself as Finelib staff.

No cash, ever

Affiliates never collect cash or any payment. Businesses register, sign up and pay only on finelib.com, directly to Finelib.

Honest promotion only

No fake clicks, cookie stuffing, self-referrals, duplicate accounts, spam, brand bidding or fake Finelib pages. We monitor activity and reverse commission from abuse.

Frequently asked questions

Does it cost anything to join?

No. Joining is free and you never pay Finelib anything.

What counts as a successful referral?

A business that buys a Basic, Enhanced or Top Listing at finelib.com/business within 30 days of opening your link, or that quotes your affiliate code when paying, and whose payment Finelib has confirmed. Refunded, cancelled, duplicate or self-referred orders don't count.

Is the commission one-time or recurring?

You earn 30% on the first payment, and again on every yearly renewal of Enhanced and Top Listings you introduced, for as long as your affiliate account is active. If your account is closed, renewal commission stops. Basic Listing is one-time.

When and how am I paid?

Commission approved during a month is paid by bank transfer in Naira on the last day of that month (the 30th or 31st, or the 28th or 29th in February), to an account in your own name. The minimum payout is ₦5,000; smaller balances roll over. We message you on WhatsApp when it's sent.

What if the business pays by bank transfer?

Ask them to put your affiliate code in the transfer narration or tell Finelib your code. We'll record the sale for you.

Do I collect money from customers?

Never. Businesses register, sign up and pay only on finelib.com, directly to Finelib. Collecting cash or any payment from a client is treated as fraud and closes your account.

Am I employed by Finelib?

No. Affiliates are independent. You are not a Finelib employee, staff member or agent, there is no salary or benefits, and you earn only commission on confirmed sales.

What gets an affiliate account closed?

Collecting money from clients, posing as Finelib staff, fake or automated clicks, cookie stuffing, buying through your own link, duplicate accounts, spam, bidding on "Finelib" in adverts and misleading claims. See section 11 of the terms.

Is there a sales target or territory?

No quotas and no territories. You can refer businesses anywhere in Nigeria.

Are the links good for my website's SEO?

Affiliate links are marked nofollow and sponsored, as search engines expect for referral links. They are for people to click, not for search rankings.
