Program Overview
Earning money with the MerchantAnswers.com Affiliate Program is easy. We do EVERYTHING - host the site, handle subscriptions and renewals, deal with subscribers, and you get paid 15% when one of your referred viewers subscribes to our service, including recurring monthly charges.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What do I need to become an affiliate?

Nothing! Except your desire to be an affiliate. You don't even need a web site (although having your own web site helps). You can promote our product via search engines, postings in Internet forums, or simply email to all your friends and people you know with your affiliate link to our site. One note - we will not tolerate spamming by our affiliates. If we find an affiliate is spamming, we will terminate the account without warning and all payouts will be defaulted. This is to protect everyone, especially affiliates who properly promote MerchantAnswers.com.

2. How do I know I will be paid for my referral?

Our software uses a combination of cookies and IP address to track referrals for best possible reliability. When the visitor follows your affiliate link to our site, our affiliate system registers this referral and places a cookie on his or her computer. When the visitor pays for the subscription, our affiliate system checks for the cookie (if not found, checks for IP address of referral) and credits your account. This process is absolutely automatic.

3. How is the payment handled?

You will be paid by check or PayPal, as you request in your application. Payment is made by the 10th of every month for subscriptions paid the previous calendar month (total commissions under $100 will be carried over to next month).

4. Can I promote you through pay-per-click search engines?

YES! You can promote us through pay-per-click search engines. This type of promotion is becoming increasingly popular and a way of making a very good profit.

5. Do you have any training program for affiliates?

We will be offering ongoing training and support for affiliates.

6. How do I set up an account?

Setting up an account is very easy and it's completely FREE. You don't have to pay to become an affiliate, or even be a subscriber (although it's recommended). All you need to sign up is complete the Application Form. After a review, you will receive an email with your control panel password and other information.

Any questions? Contact us here. We will be more than happy to help!

A few ways to make money with our affiliate program

• Write a review, letting people know how valuable you believe MerchantAnswers.com is. Include your affiliate link at the end of the review. Post your review to free sites such as GoArticles.com & EzineArticles.com. Only do this if you are a subscriber and you've used the system - please don't "fake" a review.
• Create a blog at sites such as Blogger.com, and post your review of MerchantAnswers.com with your affiliate link. Then "ping" your blog at sites such as Pingomatic.com, so it gets picked up quickly by search engines.
• Join popular related forums, such as the Miva Merchant Forum, and make frequent valuable contributions (not junk). Be sure to go into your forum profile and edit your "signature." Make a signature that includes your MerchantAnswers.com affiliate link, or a link to your own site where you refer to MerchantAnswers.com. That way, every time you make a post, anyone who sees it will see your signature and potentially click on your affiliate link.
• If you own an email list of newsletter subscribers or other people who have opted in to receive email offers from you, send them an email telling them about our web site. Include your affiliate link. *NOTE - We do not tolerate spamming in any way.
• Pay-Per-Click (PPC): Using a PPC account from Google Adwords, Overture, or many others, you can easily generate income with the MerchantAnswers.com affiliate program. You can either send people directly to us using your affiliate link in your PPC ads, or you can create your own web site in which you have a review of our service, followed by your affiliate tracking link.
