LOGIN:
Again, the link to
access all the goodies in the flow chart, plus
income and payment reports, etc. is at:
OFFLINE
Your Used ID will
likely be your e-mail address, unless you change
it. If you forget your login information, a utility on that page will e-mail it
back to you.
PROGRAMS:
Once you have
logged in, a menu bar will appear just under the
logo. To choose and set up your affiliate
programs, click "Affiliate Programs."
CHOOSE:
The first program
is the overall default program for all products,
including those that are very low margin "leader
items." The default commission is only 5%, so
this one should not be considered a big money
opportunity. Given that all income is good
income, go ahead and apply this anywhere you
like. (Go to
www.abcompany.com/1sc if you would like to
see all the items available through this
section.)
The second program
(scroll down to "Total 51% commission payout) is
more interesting. This applies to a program that
enables people to become non-smokers without
going through the agony of "quitting." There is
an e-book version for $19.98 and a printed
version for $29.97. This is a two-level program,
meaning that anyone who you send to the sales
page who buys will generate $8.19 (e-book) or
$12.29 (printed), then, if that person also
becomes an affiliate, you will receive $2.00 or
$3.00 on any sale that they generate.
SETUP:
At the bottom of
each program block is a "Click
here
for your affiliate links, Banners
and other Available Media Types"
line. Clicking through will provide you with
your affiliate link for this particular program,
plus examples of different advertisements,
banner ads and any other media that we have
developed to help you promote the products. Just
copy and paste these into your e-mail, web
pages, blog pages, print advertising, or
whatever. Whenever someone follows the link they
provide and purchase a product, you generate
income from that purchase. (Note that there are
usually SEVERAL PAGES of these advertisements
for you to choose from.)
TEST &
CONFIRM:
To be certain that
everything is working as it should be, we
recommend that you do a test purchase on each of
the links and ads that you set up. Use the
customer name "Tester Tester" and any made-up
address, etc. You will need to enter a valid
credit card number to activate the system, but
PUT IN A BOGUS EXPIRATION DATE to assure that it
will never be charged, just in case whoever
handles the order gets real stupid that morning
... If it doesn't go through and generate a sale
record for you, use the contact info below to
let us know. (There will be a delay while we
manually confirm the order, but it should show
up within 24 hours during workdays.)
YOUR
ACCOUNT:
You come back to
this utility at any time to review your account
and see how you are doing, make changes, etc.
RESOURCES:
As you know, your
success is critical to our own. Therefore, we
produce and post sales and
marketing tools to make it easy for you to sell
more, more often. For a selection of
pre-made templates,
text ads, links, banners and media, make sure
you login to the Affiliate Center and click on
the program menu option. Use them freely and
often to suit your every need.
SMARTER
THAN DIRT ...
We pride ourselves
on being smarter than dirt, but that's about it.
Many of our affiliates will have excellent ideas
about how to make better marketing tools. Please
feel free to criticize what we have done and
suggest how we could do it better. The easier we
make it for you, the easier you make it for us!
Again, welcome aboard. We know this will be a
mutually beneficial and long term relationship!
We want to hear from you. Don't hesitate to
contact us if you have any questions,
suggestions, observations---whatever.
Yours truly,
Bruce Chenoweth
