Signing Up Affiliates

One of the (many!) brilliant aspects of FreeIQ is it's Affiliate setup. They looked at all the affiliate programs out there (their background is IN affiliate marketing), made a list of all the things affiliate programs did WRONG, then did it RIGHT!

There are two key considerations regarding affiliate marketing: getting paid for passing sales to a merchant, and developing sub-affiliates. FreeIQ really shines here. They listed all the ways it was done wrong i.e. short-term cookies, lost commissions, one-time sales, single-tier program, etc. Then they did the opposite.

When you sign-up as an affiliate, you don't have to worry, you are tracked for a FULL YEAR! The system then lets you pick your own links, for example www.freeiq.com/mynewaffiliates, that you use to sign up other affiliates. Those affiliates who sign up using your link are then YOURS FOR A FULL YEAR! I urge you to go to the Affiliate Page and read it - this is how all affiliate programs should be done!

My advice is: Don't wait! Sign up for your account, generate your own affiliate links, and start signing up your own year-long sales force!
