Ultimatefatburner's Affiliate Program:
Frequently Asked Questions!

Home I Getting Started

 

1) What is an affiliate program?

An affiliate program is special arrangement between a merchant and his/her partners, where the partners agree to promote the merchant's products for a share of the profits.

 

2) How does it work?

The partner receives a special "tracking" link which he/she uses to promote the product on Web sites, e-mail newsletters, or in personal e-mails to friends, family, and co-workers. If someone clicks on that link, and subsequently buys that product from the merchant, the link is identified and tracked to the appropriate partner, who receives a commission.

Our service will track your referred visitor for 90 days. In other words, if you refer a friend to my web site, and she doesn't purchase right away, but returns to purchase in 90 days, we'll still be able to track the commission to you, and pay you appropriately.

 

3) Who pays me? How often do I get paid? How do I know you'll get paid?

You are paid by the same people who pay me -- ClickBank.com. Trust me -- you'll get paid. 'Cause hey -- if you don't get paid, I don't get paid either! :-)

ClickBank provides merchant processing, affiliate tracking, and payment services for 1,000's or merchants, and tens of 1,000s of affiliates. They are well-regarded in the industry, and recognized for conducting business in a fair and ethical manner.

You can select any amount of money as your default payment setting, starting at $10 -- meaning you'll receive a check anytime you've earned $10 in commission fees!

To promote The Ultimate Fat Burning Diet Primer, you'll need a free ClickBank account. It takes about 90 seconds to set up. Click here to get started!

 

4) What is SPAM?

Spam is defined as "unsolicited bulk email", and it's a big "no-no". If you spam (intentionally or unintentionally) while promoting The Ultimate Fat Burning Diet Primer, your account will be terminated, and you will forfeit any earnings you may have amassed. Don't be fooled into believing you can e-mail 20 million "opt-in" subscribers for $39.95. Unless you have a specific relationship with the person you are e-mailing, you are spamming.

 

5) I don't have a Web site. Can I still promote your product?

Yes, you can. The best way is to add a signature file (a few lines of text at the bottom of your e-mail), to all your outgoing e-mail. This can be considered as a "virtual" business card, and can be used effectively as a marketing tool. Here's an example...

Tools > Options > Signatures

Click the radio button titled "Add signatures to all outgoing messages".

Click the "New Button", and enter the text for your new signature file (make sure to include a link with your unique tracking link). Click the "Set as default" button. Then click "Apply".

That's it... you're done!

 

6) Do I have to buy The Ultimate Fat Burning Diet Primer in order to promote it?

No, but it's a good idea. OK, OK, this *does* seem like a "not so subtle" attempt to generate some additional sales, so let me explain myself...

Although it seems unlikely, there are a great many individuals earning 4-5 figure incomes each and every month simply by referring their visitors/customers/clients to products for which they receive a commission.

How do they do this?

They look out for their customer's best interests. This is incredibly important! I can tell you this for certain - for every product that a respected affiliate marketer recommends to his/her clientele, another 10 don't make the cut, and never see the light of day.

This brings me to the real bottom line on successful affiliate marketing: a recommendation reflects on the referer's credibility. If a merchant recommends a sub-standard product, he is telling his visitors or customers that he has no interests but his/her own. Just like you wouldn't recommend a sub-standard product or service to a friend or family member, you don't want to recommend a product you haven't seen for yourself.

Second, it allows you to speak with authority on the product. Instead of saying... "this is great, I really loved it, buy it", you can say...

"I really loved this about the book, or that about the book", or...

"I loved Chapter 7, and the discussion on..."

Your audience will appreciate the fact that you are not simply making a sales pitch to earn commissions, but are pointing them towards a product you genuinely feel positive about.
