How does the impact affiliate sign-up process work for new users?

I’m new to affiliate marketing and am looking to sign up as a publisher on Impact. Could anyone walk me through the application process and what to expect? I’m particularly curious about what information I need to provide upfront and if there are any tips for ensuring a smooth and quick approval.

Impact’s publisher signup is straightforward: create an account, add your “property” (website/app/social/paid media), complete business + tax profile (W‑9/W‑8BEN, payout method), then apply to individual advertisers—most friction comes from weak traffic proof or unclear promo methods. To speed approval, have a clean domain with legal pages (Privacy/Terms), a concise media kit (traffic sources, geo, monthly uniques, conversion funnels, promo channels like SEO/PPC/email), and be explicit about compliance (no trademark bidding, transparent disclosures, UTM/Impact subID strategy) so brands can risk‑assess you quickly.
