Frequently Asked Questions |
What is an Affiliate Program?
An Affiliate Program allows you
to make money by referring customers to Smartmedcare.com.
You do this by placing links on your site. Every
time a customer you've referred to us makes a purchase,
you earn commission. When you have generated only
$100 of commissions in any month, we send you a cheque
for the percentage of the sales you refer to our
site. It's that easy!
What's in it for me, my site, and
my visitors?
As an Affiliate, you can add value
and content to your site with special promotions
from Smartmedcare.com. Plus, you have the opportunity
to make money with very little effort! Your visitors
will definitely appreciate saving time and money on products they can't live without.
Does it cost me anything to become
an Affiliate?
No! Its absolutely free to join
our Affiliate Program. There is no charge to apply,
there is no minimum sales requirement, and you can
cancel at any time.
Can a web site outside the United
States be an Affiliate?
Yes. We welcome Affiliates from
anywhere in the world. All commission checks to Affiliates
are in U.S. dollars.
I operate more than one web site.
Can I still be an Affiliate?
Yes. You can have multiple sites
as an Affiliate. You will have one Affiliate account
with us that will include all of your sites. You
can track the progress of each of your sites and
be paid with only one commission check.
Do I need a web site?
If you want to refer people by
email, we will provide you with the email text and links.
You can send rich html email or plain text email.
Either way, emails are a great method of referring
people to our site. But please remember, we only accept emails sent to double opt-in lists and we have a zero-tolerance policy toward unsolicited emails.
How do I sign up?
First, you must agree to our terms
and conditions of the Affiliate Agreement and then
fill out our Affiliate application .
Once you've submitted your application, we will contact
you soon (via e-mail) with easy-to-follow information
on how to get started and create links on your site!
Is my web site eligible to become
an Affiliate?
Most sites qualify for participation
in our program. Anyone may submit an application,
but we reserve the right to refuse membership to
a site or revoke a membership at any time if we feel
the site contains objectionable material.
How do I create links?
We have an automatic tag generator
on Smartmedcare's affiliate site that creates HTML for you
to simply cut and paste into your web site. Its so
easy to use even beginners can create links in seconds.
You dont even need to know HTML!
Can I use Smartmedcare's content on my site?
Yes, you can use logos, graphics,
photos and product descriptions provided through
the affiliate console. You are reminded to observe copyright use and trademark laws.
How do I know how much I've sold
and earned?
Through Smartmedcare's affiliate site you
can access reports in real-time, that
provide information on impressions, click-throughs,
orders, shipments, and commissions earned.
How often do I get paid?
We will send you a cheque every
month for a percentage of the sales you referred
to our site, provided you earned more than $100 in
a reporting period (one month). Otherwise your balance
will continue to accrue until you have earned $100
and then we will send you a cheque.
Do I earn commissions on my own
purchases?
Yes. When you purchase any products from Smartmedcare.com through
your website, you earn the same commission on your
purchase that you would from a visitor's purchase.
What about product returns?
If a user returns a product for a refund, or if credit card charges are reversed due to a dispute or credit card fraud, your account will be debited for any commission earned on that transaction.
How will you know that the orders
came from my site?
All links from your site to our
site contain a unique identifier so that every time
a user comes to Smartmedcare.com via your site, you receive credit
when a purchase is made. This is made possible with
HTML links we create for you through a tag generator
on Smartmedcare's affiliate site.
