This document will outline the steps for
IRUN resellers to begin their own AFFILIATE
PROGRAM. As you may already
know, an effective Affiliate Program allows
you to dramatically increase your exposure
across the Internet – if done correctly.
In fact, many web-based businesses essentially
make their living through this medium.
 Some of the benefits of our
Affiliate Program are the following:
- Quick Set-up
- Invisible Tracking
(no codes are passed in the URL)
- Easy differentiation
between Paying and Demo accounts so affiliates
(and you) can easily determine success
rates
- Reports
Let’s go through the steps of setting
up a NEW Affiliate together. You can add
as many Affiliates as you like following
these basic steps.
Once you’ve logged in to your Customer
Management Area, click on the link called
“Affiliates” and you will be
presented with the page below.
Then click on “Create
New Affiliate”.
Complete the form with your NEW Affiliate’s
information (all fields, including fax number,
are mandatory).
For the URL, just enter the root URL (www.affiliate.com)
rather than the exact page you may have
a link from (for example, www.affiliate.com/partners.asp).
IRUN will intelligently track the click-thru
from the ROOT URL.
Once you’ve entered the information,
click “Create”.
You have now successfully created your
Affiliate – no need to assign
them a tracking code!
You will notice that the NEW Affiliate
is now listed. You can either create another
Affiliate or, if necessary, edit the existing
Affiliate’s information (now or at
any time in the future).
Now let’s imagine that your Affiliate
places a text link (could also be a graphical
link) FROM their website to YOURS. After
a few hours, you receive your first click-thru
from a user who was visiting your Affiliate’s
website and they sign-up for a DEMO of the
website builder on your website…
How can you tell if it was indeed this
Affiliate that sent you this referral? Go
to Step 3…
If you would like to check to see how your
Affiliates are performing you can do so
by clicking on “Customers”
in your Customer Management Area.
You will now see a drop down that consists
of your Affiliates (once they have been
assigned).
You can simply pull a report from here
to.
Based on their performance and the agreement
you have in place with your Affiliates,
you can compensate them monthly or quarterly
based on how many customers have become
“Paying” customers (versus “Demo”).
Lastly, Affiliates always want to know
how they’re performing… How
can they check without actually logging
in through your Customer Management Area?
See Step 4.
Every IRUN reseller will now notice that
they have an Affiliate login area when you
go online located at www.resellerwebsite.com/affiliate.
This is where your affiliates will login
to view their results.
Here, the Affiliate can enter in their
user name (email address) and password.
Once logged in they will be able to view
their Referral Report and determine how
much you owe them based on how many customers
are marked “Paying” versus “Demo”.
You’ll notice that Affiliates can
not go any further than this for security
purposes…
