Affiliates earn a little over 50% of the profits per sale. That totals $14.50 per sale. You many also sign up sub-affiliates, and each sale they make will net you an additional $4.00 (around 12.5%).

Will it cost me anything to be involved?

Nope, not a cent. Just a few minutes to fill out a form.

How long does it take to get set up?

If you type fast, about a minute to sign up. Then you’ll get an affiliate tracking number via e-mail a few minutes after that. You can cut and paste that tracking ID into a place on your web site or blog a couple of minutes after that. So, essentially, it will be up to you as to how fast you go.

How long will it take for my application to be processed?

I’m trusting that you’re going to do business ethically when you submit your application. So the approval process is automatic. However, if I discover you’re using spam techniques or misrepresenting the HRH Program in any way, the disqualification will also be automatic. Like I tell my three-year old, use your manners.

When do I get paid (i.e., are the checks sent monthly or quarterly)?

I’ll send you a check monthly, as long as your commission balance is over $25. Otherwise, I’ll send it to you the first month that it is, cumulatively, over $25. Your commissions don’t expire if you don’t reach $25 per month, they’ll just carry over.

Are graphics or banners provided? How do I get them?

At the moment, I’m just using basic links, a product graphic, and articles, but other graphics and banners will be available shortly.

How and when am I going to find out if something is sold?

When something is sold through your link, you’ll be notified within a few minutes. You can also check your balance and buying statistics online at any time.

How often can I access my sales statistics?

As often as you want. Just don’t get obsessive about it. For instance, checking 45 times or more per day is probably obsessive.

How do the orders get processed?

All my orders are processed through PayPal. People who buy the book are informed of their order through e-mail and directed to the download site to obtain the book and bonuses they purchased.

Are phone, fax, and mail orders possible?

At the moment, I only take orders through the internet. This is subject to change, and if it does, I’ll make sure to get your affiliate number on those orders as well.

How are visitors tracked?

I use the AssocTRAC system from the Internet Marketing Center. This program has proven highly reliable for tracking orders, and I have had them professionally install it to make sure everything works appropriately. When visitors click through your link, a permanent cookie is placed on their computer that includes your affiliate ID number.

Do you have information on your "visitor/sales conversion rate?"

At the moment, conversions for first time visitors average about 1.5 to 2%. Many people who sign up for the newsletter return to buy the book later. You will receive credit for those orders, as well.

Do you have Information on how I can improve my sales conversion ratio?

Yes. You’ll find a lot of information about ways to improve your conversion ratio on the Affiliate Resources page. Undoubtedly, the best way is with an enthusiastic personal recommendation written in your own style. But if you want to rely on my style, I would encourage you to promote the newsletter. I usually have a lot more orders in the days after sending the newsletters, and I try to send them about once per week.

What kind of income can I expect?

That will be almost entirely dependent upon what kind of traffic you can send to the site. If two percent of the people who come buy, then you can expect to make about $0.29 per click. If you send me five people over the course of three months, I can’t promise much. If you send me thousands per month, you could easily make an extra couple hundred per month. Please note, I don’t guarantee you’ll make a certain amount, but I really hope you make a bundle!

What else should I know?

The HRH Program is a rapidly growing online presence, but it’s still a pretty young business. As such, there are still things that I need to do to improve revenues for all of us, like adding testimonials. (If you want to provide one after using the program, I’d love to post it!)

Two other niche sites are already up and selling the HRH Program, and the affiliate program will be available for those shortly, allowing you to direct traffic to whichever site you feel your visitors will appreciate most.

Also, the HRH Program is just the first offering of the Wilcox Innovation Network. Many more are coming, and I plan to have an affiliate program for each product and service that we sell.

Lastly, I want to hear from you about your experiences using the affiliate program. Feel free to contact me any time at craig@heartratehealth.com to share your comments, suggestions, or (constructive) criticism.

We’re in this together!
