Why is there an application process? Don’t you guys want every opportunity to make money?

Our reputation means more to us than some quick cash. We are selective in who we choose to operate as an affiliate for our brand. We do not allow people to use their own affiliate links nor do we allow pay per click/impressions advertising. These things can damage the brand, discourage trust in customers and propagate a “spammy” atmosphere. We don’t want any of that junk attached to our reputation.

Are we paid in cash or is this one of those “store credit” affiliate programs?

What are the commission rates? 

What determines the commission rates? Which stuff gives higher conversion?

In short, anything produced in which we still rely on a POD (print on demand) partner to manufacture we cannot afford to go over 20% commission while offering occasional sales. If we did, it would literally start to cost us money to sell the majority of those items. Digital products and some custom art projects have higher conversions because they may take more time but they have less overhead.

Okay but, like, some other places with similar products go up to 30%?

We are always open to exploring ways to increase affiliate payouts for our most valuable affiliates. But unlike some other affiliate programs we like to offer things for our end-users too. We like to give sales for our customers and we try to keep our prices low and competitive. So, while we are not arguing the commission rates may be a little lower sometimes – we intend to help you guys, and us, generate more sales and conversions. Better prices means more sales. More sales is more commissions. More commissions is more money for you guys than less commissions at a higher rate.

Well how do we climb the scale to get that juicy 20%?

If you are out-performing as an affiliate while maintaining our expected level of trust and non-spammy promotion when we review our affiliates we shoot you an email and let you know you’re doing great and we’re upping your commission rate. We’ve yet to have an affiliate complain about us wanting to give them more money.

What if I don’t have much time but still want to climb the scale?

Consistency is key. Yes. Unlike with other affiliate programs, it is possible to climb the scale even with only a conversion or so a month. If you are consistently recommending our products and services and making conversions those will count toward increasing your scale. It takes longer but most affiliate programs don’t reward loyalty, just productivity. We want to do both. If you feel like you have been doing pretty good for a while then let us know. We will manually review and may come back with some good news. No harm in asking, right?

What happens if I don’t make the $200 threshold? Do I lose it?

Okay, but why a $200 threshold in the first place?

We want our affiliates to be serious. There is some serious earning potential here. Affiliates who show they mean business and refer customers to us in an honorable and trustworthy way will move up an internal scale and make more money! This threshold also helps us to avoid the more “scummy” types of affiliates who want to grab a quick affiliate link and think they can go spam it out to any and every source they can then sit back and earn big. You serious affiliates know that it is an amazing way to make money, but it’s never that simple. 

What if I refer someone and they don’t buy, but go back later and buy?

No stress! Your affiliate link comes with a 60 day cookie. So if they come back even up to 59 days later and buy, you keep your commission. Pretty cool, right?

How often can I request a payout?

Assuming you have reached the payout threshold you can request a payout once in a 30-day period. Once a month.
