Common Questions:

A: Basically, you refer people to another site in exchange for a commission on every qualified sale you produce. Usually that means adding a link (encoded with a unique ID number) from your web site or email message to another site, which tracks how many sales you are responsible for creating.

Q: There are lots of affiliate programs around. What makes the Pro Guitar program so powerful?

Here are some other great reasons to partner with Pro Guitar:

• Commission size: You earn over 50% of our net profit for each product. Plus, sell 10 or more of our main product -- Pete Williamson's "Pro Guitar Tips" course -- in any given month, and we'll increase your referral fee to $15 per sale for all sales you have generated in that month.
  
  
• Proven simple sales process: We give you tested and tried "Copy, Paste, and Send" promotions and other easy to use resources.
  
  
• Awesome sub affiliate program: You can earn extra fees from any affiliates you recruit whenever they make a sale.
  
  
• Three-year "Memory": If you send someone to our site and they don't buy today, but re-visits the site anytime within the next three years and purchase one of our products, you still earn your referral fee!
  
  
• Exclusive Affiliate Center: This private "Members Only" site lets you track your visitors, sales and earnings, in real time, so you always know exactly how you're going.
  
  
• We take care of all the details: Once you pass the visitor on to our site, we'll take care of everything, including charging their credit card, shipping their orders, and providing any customer service or technical support necessary. You don't have to do a thing!

A: Nothing! There is no cost to join!

A: We calculate sales from the 1st of the month to midnight of the last day of the same month. All referral cheques are mailed within 10 business days after the last day of every month. Please note that we have a $15 cheque minimum. If you earn less than $15 during a sales period, the amount you earn will be carried forward to the next month. Once your total commissions total at least $15, a cheque will be issued.

A: The sign-up process only takes a couple of minutes -- and there are no long surveys or endless forms to fill out. In just a couple of minutes you can be signed up and access our Affiliate Resource Center where you'll find everything you need to get started.

Q: How do you keep track of the orders coming from my site?

A: It's easy! When you sign up as Pro Guitar affiliate, you'll be assigned a unique identification number. This unique identification number is used in every URL that you use to link to the Pro Guitar affiliate products.

Plus, in all the "Copy & Paste" email promotions, classified ads, banner ads, text links, etc. that we provide you with to promote the various Pro Guitar affiliate products, we'll show you how to easily replace your unique affiliate ID number.

When your visitor first comes to our site, we'll tag them with a "cookie" that includes your affiliate number. So if someone visits Pro Guitar through your link to our site and does not buy one of our products right away -- but returns within three years to purchase one of our eligible products -- you'll still get full credit for that sale and earn your commission!

If they have their "cookies" turned off on their browser, our special tracking software will always point to your reference number, even if they bookmark us and return later to purchase.

A: You'll receive an email alerting you of each order just seconds after it is placed. Plus, our exclusive Affiliate Resource Center lets you view exactly how many visitors have traveled from your site to Pro Guitar and how many of each product were sold on a daily basis (including the customer's name and how they ordered).

A: The amount you earn depends on the type of people that visit your site, how many visitors you receive monthly, and how much exposure you give the link to the Pro Guitar.

Sites that have links to Pro Guitar in many places throughout their web sites do MUCH better than sites that only have a small link or just one link throughout their site. We cannot emphasize enough how important exposure is to the success of your campaign.

Make sure you spend some time reading the various tips and promotion ideas that we share with you in the Affiliate Resource Center. You'll discover the same secrets that our top affiliates are using so that you can experience the same success.

Q: How much will I be paid when I make a sale?

A: We pay out over 50% of our net profit! (i.e. The revenue from a sale minus our costs.) But it doesn’t stop there. As you recruit other affiliates who join under you -- and they make sales -- you get the “second tier” commissions too!

Q: Do I need a credit card merchant account and a secure site to join?

A: No. That's part of why affiliate programs are so cool -- we take care of all of the payment processing, secure server technology and even the shopping cart system. All you do is promote our products and cash your commission cheques every month!

Q: How should I incorporate the Pro Guitar Affiliate Program into my web site?

A: We offer a wide range of ready to rock options -- from banners and text links to email promotions that are ready to send -- that you can easily add to your site or your opt-in mailings. We give you tools you need, but no matter how you want to integrate them into your web site, we give you complete control.

Q: How will my visitors order?

A: We take care of everything. You just need to direct the visitors to the Pro Guitar web site through your affiliate links, and we'll look after taking the order, delivering the product, etc...

When the customer is ready to order, the Pro Guitar ordering system takes over, and automatically processes the order -- while recording your affiliate identification number to guarantee that you're credited for the sale.

Q: Can I take orders directly on my web site instead, and just send you the customer information afterward?

A: No. We offer a secure web site which is essential in collecting online orders. Plus, we handle all customer questions and requests, including cancellations and returns.

In fact, that's one of the reasons why earning affiliate commissions is so much
easier than managing your own business! You get to forget about the hassles of product development, ad writing, order processing, shipping, refunds, and customer service. We do everything. All you do is drive visitors to our web site - that's it!

Q: Will you supply me with product descriptions and marketing material that I can use on my site?

A: Yes, we supply you with tested "Copy & Paste" email promotions, along with banner and classified ads -- all of which are field-tested and proven to work.

In fact, minutes after completing our brief application form, you'll get access to our Affiliate Resource Center, which features our exclusive Quick-Start feature, letting you get up and running within minutes!
