How Our Affiliate Program Works

An Overview

Our Affiliate Program is free to join and you can earn commissions for yourself without any cost and very little obligation on your part. You simply

• place a link to us somewhere on your site (text link or banner link),
• send out a SpeakerMatch promotion to your list at least once every 90 days,
• and notify us when you do send out a promotion

and we reward you by giving you commissions as described in each campaign. We process commission checks once every month.

Example 1: For every subscription to our monthly SpeakerMatch service at $49.95, you would get a commission of $9.99 EACH MONTH THAT SUBSCRIPTION REMAINS ACTIVE!

Example 2: For every subscription to our annual SpeakerMatch service at $499.00, you would get a commission of $99.80!

For any sales of the SpeakerMatch service, this affiliate program is two tiered. If you make the effort to get someone else to signup for our affiliate program you can earn an additional 5% commission from their sales too. Or to put that in real dollars, every time they sell a $499 annual SpeakerMatch subscription, you get $24.95! And don't forget, you'll get a commission for EVERY YEAR THAT SUBSCRIPTION RENEWS, for the life of the customer.

Here are just a few reasons to join:

• Participate for FREE!
• Earn commissions for each subscription you sell!
• Add value to your website
• Make money while you sleep
• You can track your earnings in real time
• We take care of everything - charging the credit cards, setting up the subscriber's account, and providing any customer service necessary

To become an Affiliate Member:

1. Simply fill out the application form.
   
2. Within a few minutes your application will be approved and you will be sent an e-mail which will give you all the details assigning you special links that you will use to link to SpeakerMatch (so we can track the sales from your site).
   
3. The e-mail you receive will include a URL that you can use to check your stats and earnings in real time. It will also include step-by-step instructions on how to set up the links in case you don't understand everything, banners you can use at your site to link to SpeakerMatch... and just about anything else you can think of that will make your setup as easy as possible.
4. You MUST send out a promotion to your list within the first 30 days of becoming an affiliate member. Please add the e-mail address affiliates@speakermatch.com to your database to make sure we receive a copy of your promotion. If you're sending promotions by mail, please send a copy of your promotion to:
   
   SpeakerMatch
   4807 Spicewood Springs Rd.
   Suite 1215
   Austin, TX 78759
   
   
5. We also ask that you send out a SpeakerMatch promotion at least once every 90 days to remain an affiliate in good standing. A simple way to accomplish this is to include us in an autoresponder sequence for new customers. Many of our affiliates recognize success by keeping an ongoing ad in their company newsletters and e-zines.
   
   An ad or promotional material on your website does NOT satisfy this requirement.

We are using one of the most experienced and reliable affiliate tracking programs on the Internet. The proven system we are using has worked out all of the kinks that made other affiliate programs so unreliable (i.e., improper tracking).

For example, if someone visits our site and does not buy today, but re-visits the site anytime within the next 2 years and purchases one of our products or services, you still earn your referral fee!

You receive email notification every time someone purchases through your link or signs up as an affiliate through you (for the sub-affiliate program)

All you do is simply place a link to a special URL we provide you with to track the orders. You can even put the link in your electronic newsletter or regular mail promotions. Many people put our links in their handouts when they speak or do business presentations.

SpeakerMatch provides unique services which are priced very reasonably, so virtually any of your visitors can easily afford them... which means more commissions for you.
