| Q: |
How
does the affiliate program work? |
| A: |
It's
actually quite simple. Once you sign up, you will be given a special
linking code. You simply place banners (which we will provide) or
text links on your site, using the linking code provided, and whenever
someone clicks on your link to our site and makes a purchase, you
earn commissions.
In
addition, whenever you refer someone to us and that person becomes
an affiliate, you will earn an override commission on all purchases
made by customers which that affiliate refers. This is called a
"Two Tier" program, and can create significant income
potential!

| Q: |
How
much do I get paid? |
| A: |
Commissions
are based on a percentage of the actual sales that are made. There
are two commission schedules, one for "first-tier" sales
(those made directly by you) and one for "second-tier"
sales (those made by your affiliates). Following is the commission
breakdown by tier and by number of guaranteed visitors purchased
per individual sale:
|
Visitor
Packages
|
First-Tier
|
Second-Tier
|
|
100,000
or less
|
20%
|

500,000
|
9%
|
4%
|
|
1,000,000+
|
6%
|
3%
|
Due
to smaller margins on larger packages, the percentages are lower
as the number of visitors purchased in a single sale increases
(although the dollar amount of the sales are much higher).

| Q: |
When
and how are commission payments sent? |
| A: |
Commissions
will be paid approximately 20 days after the calendar month in which
they are earned. If the commissions owed are less than $50, they
will be carried forward untill the total amount owed is at least
$50.
Payments
will be made to affiliates through the PayPal secure online payment
system. Although you do not need a PayPal account to sign up as
an affiliate, you will eventually need one in order to recieve payments.
PayPal accounts are free to create and receive payments. For more

| Q: |
How
long does your sytem track visitors for sales? |
| A: |
All
visitors referred by you will be tracked by cookies for 365 days
from the initial visit. That means if you refer a visitor today,
whether that visitor purchases today or six months from now or a
YEAR from now, you will get commissions on each and every purchase!
This
is far longer than other affiliate programs, which usually track
visitors for as little as one day, up to 30 days max. You
made the referral, we believe you should get the credit!
