1. What is an affiliate program? How does it work?
An affiliate program is a revenue sharing program where the affiliate (that's you!) drives traffic to a merchant's web site (that's us!) in exchange for referral commissions. When a visitor to your site clicks on the affiliate link to our site and completes a purchase, you get a commission on every item they buy!
We have partnered with Commission Junction to provide our affiliates with tracking, reporting, prompt monthly payments, and the flexibility of being an affiliate for any of Commission Junction's other merchants.
Once you sign up for and are accepted to our program, you'll be taken to the Commission Junction site where you'll create your own personal and secure account. Here you can log in at any time to get our banners and links, find out about commissions earned and even learn about how many impressions each of your links has received.
2. How do I get started?
Step 1: Sign up! If you're already a Commission Junction publisher, click here to become a FulcrumGallery affiliate!
Step 2: We manually review all applications within 3 business days. Once your application is approved, we will send you setup instructions as well as banners and text links that you can put on your web site. We also have a full-time Affiliate Program Manager, who you can reach out to for questions or help setting up and making your account successful.
Step 3: Sit back and Collect!
3. Who can participate?
Just about anybody! Whether you run a large commercial web site, a small personal blog, a non-profit site, or anything in between you're welcome to apply to join the program. We also welcome owners of opt-in e-mail newsletters. All applications are manually reviewed, and we reserve the right to refuse any application, especially if the site or e-mail list contains objectionable material, participates in unsolicited e-mailing, or if it violates the Commission Junction Publisher Service Agreement.
4. Does it cost anything to participate?
No! As long as you are an active affiliate, all you need to do is keep linking and collect your commissions.
5. How are sales tracked from my site?
Once your application is accepted, you will be given a unique affiliate ID as well as custom-formatted links that will ensure that traffic coming from your site is properly tracked. We maintain a 45-day cookie, meaning that if a visitor clicks on a link from your site, you are credited with the sale as long as the visitor purchases within 45 days.
Commission Junction records all transactions from your site in real time, meaning that all impressions, links, and sales are tracked instantly. The Commission Junction Members Area has all of the reports and tracking resources you'll need to see how you're doing. You can use these reports to find out which of your links are performing the best and to optimize your site for maximum sales.
6. How much will I earn? How and when do I get paid?
All new affiliates can earn commissions of 15% to 20% based on performance, with a cookie length of 45 days.
