Affiliate FAQs
Do you have an Affiliate programme? If so, how does it work?
Affiliate programmes are one of the most effective and low-maintenance ways to
make money on the internet. When you become a Buzan Online Affiliate, you will
be supplied with an encoded link and banner that you can place within your
website. When a user clicks on your link, their activity will be tracked by our
Affiliate system including any product downloads or purchases that they make.
You will earn commission for every purchase that result from users who
originally visited the iMindMap website via your link. Best of all you will be
helping in our goal to achieve global mental literacy. Signing up online is
easy. Just fill in the online forms and we will review your application. Once
your application is approved we will email you full instructions on how to get
started.
How are sales tracked?
For the most part, sales are tracked using a combination of your unique
Affiliate code and cookies placed on the end user computer. A cookie is a tiny
text file that tracks which Affiliate sent the customer and what type of link
they used. In order to receive their software download, all users are
required to enter their email address when making their evaluation request.
This provides us with additional data for tracking subsequent sales should the
user visit the iMindMap website direct at a later date to purchase.
How are visitors with cookies disabled tracked?
Research shows that approximately 70-90% of all internet users have cookies enabled in
their browsers. Should this figure be 70% in reality, we have taken additional measures
to track Affiliate customers using their email address details. Therefore, in the unlikely
event that a customer has cookies disabled and does not visit the site to purchase via
your Affiliate encoded weblink, we are still able to verify that they are an Affiliate
customer using their email address. This would have been previously collected and recorded
against the Affiliate account during the download evaluation request stage.
I would also like to be able to sell boxed versions of the product direct to
my customers. How is this possible?
All approved affiliates can also order boxed versions of the product and
benefit from the same discounts. There will be a cost for shipping the boxed products to you and payment must be made in advance. If you wish to order boxed products please
email affiliates@buzanonline.com with
details of quantity and delivery address. We will send you a PayPal Money
Request which will include details of the shipping cost. If you accept this and
once the PayPal Money Request is paid, the goods will be shipped to you.
How much can I earn?
The commission rate that you earn for each sale is 40% of the retail license
price (always based on the standard UK Pound Sterling selling price regardless
of what currency was used during the transaction). A range of Editions and licenses are
available for the software from a single user license for Elements at £41.70 (exc VAT) to a 25 user license
for Ulitmate at £1,587.23 (exc VAT).
How do I get paid?
Payments will be made direct into your PayPal account. We recommend PayPal because
it's quicker and utilises direct deposit for confirmed members. You can signup for a
PayPal account for free by visiting www.PayPal.com. You must sign up for a PayPal account
prior to joining as a Buzan Online affiliate since you will be asked for this information
on our online sign-up forms.
How can I track the success of my Affiliate programme?
Your visitor activity, such as the number of clickthroughs, sales, downloads
(by operating system) and types of licenses sold can be viewed in real-time
through the
Affiliate referral/sales overview. This is available when you login to your
account using the access details supplied after your entry into the Buzan
Online Affiliate programme is confirmed.
