All
your remaining questions should be answered here.
Q.
When will I get paid?
A.
We mail you a check on or before the 20th of each month
for sales made from the first to the last day of the previous
calendar month, provided that the amount due to you is at least
$25.00 USD. If the
amount due to you is a lesser amount, we will aggregate the amount
until such time as your total aggregated commissions total at least
$25.00 USD. We will then pay you on or before the 20th of the
first month following the month in which the aggregated commissions
due to you totaled at least $25.00 USD.
Q.
How will I get paid?
A.
You will be paid
by check, mailed by First Class Mail via the United States Postal
Service on or before the date set forth immediately above.
Q.
How are commissions figured?
A.
All commissions
are paid on the Net Sales Amount of completed, fully paid
transactions, less any returns or adjustments.
The Net Sales Amount is calculated by multiplying the
quantity of products and/or services ordered by the selling price
posted on our website on the date of the sale, less any quantity,
coupon or other discounts earned or utilized by the buyer for that
purchase. The Net Sales
Amount does not include shipping and handling charges, sales tax,
imposts or duties, or any other fees and charges.
1st Tier Commissions are Eight
Percent (8%) of the Net Sales Amount, while 2nd
Tier Commissions are Two Percent (2%)
of the Net Sales Amount. You
are credited with 1st Tier Commission on the Net Sales
Amount of each completed, fully paid transaction made directly by
your referrals, while you are credited with 2nd Tier
Commission on the Net Sales Amount of each completed, fully paid
transaction made directly by referrals of your referrals to our
Affiliate program. Returns,
credits, chargebacks and other adjustments are subtracted from your
commission account on the same basis.
Q.
How long do my referrals earn me money?
A.
We track each referral for a period of six months from the date of
their most recent visit to our website (a 180 days persistence
period). This obviates
the problem of your referral returning to our site some way besides
through your unique Affiliate Referral Link before making
their purchase. Assuming
your referral returns to our website at least every six months, they
will continue to be your referrals indefinitely. Once a period of 180 days goes by during which they don’t
return to our site at all, they stop being your referral.
In this manner we assure you that your continuing efforts to
promote BookMateStore.com and our products can continue to provide
you with residual income, while at the same time balancing our need
to keep you active in promoting our website and the products and
services we offer there. If
we’re both doing our respective jobs properly, your referrals
should continue to make you money for many years to come.
Q.
How much can I expect to earn
as a BookMateStore.com Affiliate?
A.
Your own marketing efforts will determine the level of revenue you
can expect from the BookMateStore Affiliate Program.
The more traffic your site gets, the higher your newsletter
readership, and the more you promote the program in all possible
ways, the greater your opportunity for significant success. If
you aggressively promote our products and program, and send a large
number of pre-qualified visitors to our website, our quality
products and high, 2-tiered commission rates and long persistence
period will virtually assure your level of income will be high.
Q.
Is there a limit to the amount of money I can earn as an Affiliate?
A.
No, there is absolutely no limit.
Whether one book holder or a thousand are ordered, you are
guaranteed to earn 8% commission on sales to your direct referrals
or 2% commission on all sales to referrals of our affiliates you
referred to us, as described on our website
Q.
How do I know when I have earned
a commission?
A.

Anytime you log into your BookMateStore Affiliate Statistics page

for both 1st and 2nd tier commissions.

Q.
How do I promote the BookMateStore website,
its products and services,
and its Affiliate Program?
A.
The first thing to do is to place and promote one or more of our
banners and/or links on your website.
Then visitors to your site will see the banner or link, click
on it, and any purchases they make will be credited to you, whether
made now or in the future, for up to 180 days from the date of their
most recent visit to our site.
Other ways to promote our products and program include
featuring them in your newsletter or other publications, placing
classified ads, purchasing banner ad space, direct mail, and
through direct e-mail you generate to your own or contracted, op-in
mailing lists. (This
doesn’t mean SPAM! If
you promote our site or products to anyone who has not specifically
requested information from you, and we learn about your efforts, you
will be removed from our Affiliate Program and no commissions will
be paid. We absolutely,
positively, will not allow our site or products to be promoted via
unsolicited commercial e-mail. Please refer to our BookMateStore.com
Affiliate Agreement for complete terms and conditions.)

participate as a BookMateStore.com Affiliate?
