Affiliate Program Frequently Asked Questions
Didn't see your question up there? Please contact us.
1. How do I refer people to the HereToHelpYou.com website?
When you sign up as an affiliate, you will be given a special affiliate code (a website address) that you will send people to. We'll provide you with a variety of banners, buttons, and text links that you can use on your website or in your email. We'll provide the HTML to insert in your pages or you can set up the links yourself using your affiliate code.

2. How do I know how many visitors I've sent and how many have bought stuff?
Once you sign up for the affiliate program, you'll receive access to a password protected web page with these statistics. You'll see how many visits have been made to our site as a result of your links, how many are unique visitors (vs. repeat visitors), as well as the number of sales and your commission amount for those sales. (Note: All reporting is done in $US.)

3. What if they don't buy the first time they visit?
No problem. The visitor is identified as coming from you. So anytime they make a purchase, even if it's six months later, you'll still get rewarded for the sale.

4. How do you track all this stuff?
This is all automated. Visitors are tracked with the use of "cookies". This is the most common and most reliable way of ensuring you get properly rewarded for your referrals. These are just little identifiers that are placed on a visitor's computer. When someone buys something from our site, our shopping cart software looks for your cookie on the person's computer. If it's there, you are credited with the sale.

5. What happens if someone deletes their cookies?
Occasionally, someone may delete the cookies on their computer. There's really nothing we can do to prevent this from happening. Fortunately, most people do not do this and cookie tracking is still the most efficient method of tracking affiliate sales.

6. Can I find out who is buying?
For privacy reasons, you will only get visit and sales totals. You will not have information that identifies individual buyers in any way.

7. How much do I get paid?
Affiliates will receive USD$100.00 for each "Client Generator" sale made through your referral. Currently, the "Website Builder" product is excluded from the affiliate program. Future programs and resources will be added to the affiliate program at our discretion.

8. How do I get paid?
All payments are made through PayPal only. If you do not yet have a free PayPal account, you can get one at www.paypal.com. We'll send your money in USD$ on the 15th of every month for the previous month's commissions. We'll send this to the PayPal account that you provided us when you signed up. Your commission total has to be a minimum of USD$150.00 before we send you your commissions. Don't forget you can make USD$100 per sale. If your commission under USD$150.00, we'll just roll your commission forward into the next month for you.

10. Can anyone sign up?
Anyone can sign up for the affiliate program. However, the people who will benefit most from this affiliate program are those with an existing relationship with people within their professions: equipment or supply companies, schools, associations, workshop presenters, etc. - especially those who send e-mail or newsletters on a regular basis. Although we don't want to discourage anyone from signing up, most individuals will not likely have enough of a network to benefit significantly from this program. We ask anyone who signs up to promote Here To Help You in an honest and ethical way. We do not tolerate any affiliates who use Spam or those who make misleading claims about our products. You'll be cut from the program if you're caught doing this. (See the Terms and Conditions for details.)
