	Frequently Asked Questions About Our Affiliate Program

Q: HOW DOES THIS AFFILIATE PROGRAM WORK?

A: We invite you to place a link on your site back to www.OnlineOrganizing.com -- when one of your visitors clicks on the link and shops at our site, you earn a 6-10% COMMISSION on whatever amount they spend. You are also eligible for performance bonuses (if you consistently bring us high levels of sales), you can participate in "affiliate only" events at our site, and you will receive free organizing content that you can place on your own site -- which will increase your search engine rankings and encourage visitors to return to your site again and again. Everyone WINS!

Q: DOES IT COST TO JOIN YOUR AFFILIATE PROGRAM?

A: Absolutely not! In fact, the whole point is that we pay you! You earn a COMMISSION on any sale that comes from your affiliate link and never pay us a penny to participate in the basic affiliate program.

Q: HOW DO I SET UP A LINK TO YOUR SITE?

A: Our affiliate program is administered by Share A Sale. When you sign up as an affiliate, you will be given access to a "affiliate administration" page on their website. Here, you can choose from a variety of graphic or text LINKS -- including articles, other content, and even a virtual storefront that allows you to carry our entire product catalog on your site. All you have to do is choose the link you want and Share A Sale provides you with the HTML code -- insert the code on your site and you're set to go!

Q: CAN I LINK DIRECTLY TO YOUR PRODUCTS?

A: Absolutely! One of the fastest ways to really boost your commissions is to set up our product CATALOG on your own site. You have two options for doing this:

1) Set up a simple banner link to our main product catalog page

2) Set up a link to any product in our catalog by clicking "view products" and then typing a product name or keyword in the search box

3) Set up our "virtual storefront" that allows you to link directly to any -- or all -- of the products we sell at www.OnlineOrganizing.com

When you set up the "virtual storefront", visitors will come to your site, see each product listing and be able to add them to their CART directly through your site –- then we handle the checkout. It’s almost like you have your OWN catalog of thousands of products, without the work.

Q: HOW DO I EARN COMMISSIONS?

A: Every time someone clicks on the "www.OnlineOrganizing.com" link on your site, visits our site, and spends money -- buying an organizing product, registering for our referral network, signing up for our training program, becoming an advertiser, etc. -- your administration page keeps track of the sale and awards you a 6%-10% commission. You will receive a NOTIFICATION each time an affiliate sale has occured. And each month, you will receive a commission report and a CHECK. A nice way to add a passive income stream to your business.

Q: WHAT IF THE PERSON DOESN'T BUY ANTHING THAT DAY?

A: Our system is programmed to recognize a visitor who has come through your affiliate link for up to 60 DAYS after they first click through. So if someone comes to our site through your link, leaves, and comes back a couple of weeks later and makes a purchase, you still get credit for the commission. And that counts for EVERY time they come back to our site in that 60 days -- so if they shop from us 15 times in that period, you will earn 15 different commissions!

Q: CAN I SET UP MORE THAN ONE LINK TO YOUR SITE?

A: Absolutely! We encourage our affiliates to scatter links to www.OnlineOrganizing.com throughout their sites -- the more links, the more CLICK-THROUGHS, and the more potential commissions. That's why we provide you with several different graphics and text options -- so you can put different ones on different pages, as appropriate. You may choose to link to different SECTIONS of our site -- our newsletters, product catalog, "become an organizer" section, etc. Each link has the potential to earn you larger commissions.

Q: WHAT KIND OF CONTENT CAN YOU PROVIDE ME?

A: We have included several dozen organizing ARTICLES -- on topics like paper management, time managment, clutter control, organizing your finances, getting your finances in order, etc. -- that you may include on your site. Content can increase your search engine rankings and is always valuable to visitors, keeping people coming back to your site again and again. Each article will come with your affiliate links EMBEDDED in the text -- encouraging more commissions for you. And we will be adding new articles, tip sheets, and content pages all the time -- so check back often to see what is available.

Q: HOW CAN I MAXIMIZE MY COMMISSIONS?

A: The more you promote our website, the more you can earn. So we encourage our affiliates to do more than just stick a link on their site and forget about it. Each month, we will send you information about current sales, organizing holidays, and new products or features you might like to link to. It's a good idea to regularly UPDATE your links to keep them fresh and current. You are welcome to include special links for special events -- or to highlight specific products and services that you think would be of interest to your visitors. Remember, if we make money, you make money -- so it is up to you to really promote your links to our site.

Q: CAN I SET UP LINKS IN MY EMAILS?

A: You sure can -- in fact, including text links in your EMAIL notifications and newsletters to your database of subscribers is a great way to keep your site visitors apprised of products that you recommend, upcoming organizing holidays, special sales, new features on our site, etc. The more you stay in touch with people and actively let them know what's going on at www.OnlineOrganizing.com, the higher your commissions.

Q: DO YOU OFFER SPECIAL DISCOUNTS FOR AFFILIATES?

A: Yes -- periodically, we will let you know about special "affiliate only" discounts that we are offering through our website. You will receive a special COUPON code -- you will be asked to enter this code when you check out to get your discount. This is just our way of saying "thank you" to our affiliate partners.

Q: HOW ELSE CAN I PROMOTE THROUGH YOUR SITE?

A: As a member of our network, you are invited to participate in a variety of additional MARKETING opportunities. You may submit articles for our monthly internet newsletters (for clients and organizers), list your upcoming events (workshops, media appearances, etc.) on our calendar, or become an advertiser for a newsletter, web page, or online organizing event.

Q: HOW DO I SIGN UP?

A: Just go to our registration form and complete the form. You will be sent the instructions and information to login to your administration page, choose the links you want, and insert the code in your site. It's that SIMPLE!
