Experienced Affiliates and Joint Venture Parnters

Question: I notice my affiliate link sends my referrals to an optin page. Are you stealing my list members?

Absolutely NOT. The product optin lists are solely for products that you generate commissions from. At no time are your referrals marketed anything other than our products that you make commission on. The product optin lists have a definite ending.
This product optin system is set up for maximum conversions and is designed to expose the customer to the sales page mulitple times and a number of content messages to warm up even the shyest of buyers. It is patterned after the top internet marketers on the planet.

Question: Can I just send my referrals to a sales page directly?

If you prefer to have your referrals go directly to a sales page, we will do that for you. Just use the Support link above and let us know which product you would like a direct link to the sales page rather than the optin process.

Getting Started

Question: What is Golf Joint Venture?
Golf Joint Venture will pay you every time you refer a new visitor to one of our websites and that visitor purchases one of our products.

Question: Does it cost anything to become your affiliate?
No. Golf Joint Venture is free.

Question: How do I get started with the affiliate program?
Just follow our three-step program: click here to fill out the Affiliate Application, and when we accept your application, we'll notify you via email telling you how to link to us and start earning money.

Question: Can I participate if I live outside the U.S.?
Yes, our products and participation in the Affiliate Program are available globally. We pay commissions in US dollars through PayPal around the 7th of the month following the sale. Your commissions are deposited right into your PayPal account once each month, automatically! (PayPal is FREE) Go to www.paypal.com for full details.)

Question: I don't have a Web site yet. Can I still apply to be your affiliate?
Yes, unlike most Affiliate Programs that only accept affiliates that have their own web site, we feel that everyone should have the opportunity to be part of Golf Joint Venture.

General Questions

Question: Do you offer me marketing tools I can use to promote your products?
Yes. We give you a wide variety of tools, such as articles, banner ads, pop ups, graphics, emails and much more.

In addition, our regular Affiliate Program Newsletter is full of advice designed to help you succeed when promoting our products.

Question: Does your affiliate program follow up with extra products to my buyers and pay me commissions on those follow up sales?
Absolutely! Unlike many affiliate programs out there, you DO make money on the follow up sales to your buyers. Passive income for you and we do all the work!

When you signup for our affiliate program, you're given links to promote 5 different products. You automatically receive commissions from any product sales whenever a referral you send to ONE of the sites buys ANY other product.

What this means is you can get a buyer one time and make extra commissions while doing nothing. Why? Because we follow up, we pay for the autoresponders, we write the emails, and we handle customer service and we make the sales and YOU get the commission.

Question: What are the minimum payment requirements for commissions?
The minimum payment level is $20. Accounts owing under this amount will be carried forward to the next sales period until commissions have amassed to the $20 threshold. Commissions against sales that are rejected on credit card authorization or otherwise refunded or charged back will be deducted from your following commission payment.

Question: When and how do I get paid?
We pay commissions in US dollars through PayPal around the 7th of the month following the sale. Your commissions will be deposited right into your PayPal account once each month, automatically! (PayPal is FREE) Go to www.paypal.com for full details.)

Question: How much will I earn for each sale I refer?
For most products, you will receive a 35% commission on any of our products that you sell.

Question: How can I keep track of how many people visit and buy from my affiliate link?
Simply log in to your affiliate account (see the welcome email) to access various online reports, where you can track your click-throughs and commissions. (See "Check Stats.")

Question: How will you keep track of the orders coming from my site?
We use state of the art technology to manage your leads and sales. Our tracking system makes use of cookies to track your referrals forever. Over 99% of all users have their cookies enabled on their browser (less than 1% of all users have their cookies disabled).

Cookie- based technology is a reality that will remain a part of consumer tracking for individual Internet e-businesses for some time. If a customer has cookies disabled, then we can't track the sales that occur using our technology or anyone else's.

Question: What kind of advertising is prohibited?
You cannot send unsolicited email (also known as spam) in any way, shape, or form. There will be absolutely no leniency in cases of unsolicited email, and affiliates in violation of this policy will forfeit their commissions. We'll remove them from the program the instant we receive confirmation of a violation.

Question: How will my visitors order?
We take care of everything! You just need to direct the visitors to our websites through your affiliate links, and we'll look after taking the order, delivering the product, and providing customer service.

When one of your visitors clicks through your affiliate link, we'll display the proper sales letter, where the customer can order directly online.

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

Technical Questions

Question: What technical skills do I need as your affiliate?
There are no special skills needed, since we provide all the training you need to be successful. Webmasters need to be able to copy and paste HTML code and place it accurately within the code of a web page or within an email.

Question: How can I change my affiliate account information?
To make changes to your account, just go to the Login Page. You'll need to know your user name and password to access your account.

Question: Where can I find my affiliate URL?
We don't assign a single affiliate URL to you. Instead, we provide a different link for each of the products you can sell.

Just go to the Login Page. Click on "Get Links" and you'll see a list of all the products available for you to sell as an affiliate.
