Welcome, Affiliate :)

Welcome to our affiliate program! We wish you the very best of success and will do our best to help you achieve it!

Log into your affiliate account and collect your marketing materials. We have some ready affiliate promotions for you but we highly recommend that you write your own (one very effective thing you can do is to review our products for your customers in your own words).

You will receive your login username, password and affiliate link by email within the next few minutes if you have just joined us (please allow for up to 1 hour for this email to be delivered to you)

Very Important Tips For Your Success:

• We recommend that you focus on email promotions as those are the most effective. For best results, email promotions are a MUST DO item on your agenda.

• Also, place the promotional materials prominently on your web site - another effective approach.

• Don't just do one thing, do them all. In other words, do the articles AND the web sales items AND the banners, and you will have a multiple success effect happening for you. And don't just do it once; do it consistently and frequently.

VERY IMPORTANT: People usually act the second, third, fourth or fifth time they see something. So, we encourage you to send out several promotions by email, spaced out over several days. For example:

• Send one out right now

• Send another one out 3 or 4 days after that

• Repeat one or two more times, 4 days or so apart

You will generally find that your results get better and better after the second, then third, then even fourth email. That is why advertising is repeated - it is most effective after the person becomes familiar with hearing about something more than once.

Note on the email promotional materials we give you: Each of the email promotional messages we have for you has a unique tracking number that is linked to your affiliate account so that you yourself can see which one raised you the most sales, and so forth.

But under all circumstances, DO NOT SPAM people! If you do, your account can be closed immediately and your commissions forfeited! What is SPAM? SPAM is sending email to people who have absolutely no relationship with you. An email from your friend is not Spam. An email that you asked for is not Spam. An email from someone to whom you gave an open-ended invitation for them to send email to you, based on the quality of their content, is not Spam - unless you have previously withdrawn that invitation. An email from a friend or associate of someone to whom you gave permission to send email is Spam - unless you gave them permission to send you email as well. Obviously, an email from someone you never communicated with previously, with marketing content, is definitely Spam. Spam also includes posting commercial material on forums, newsgroups and so on, so don't do that either. Please take this spam issue seriously and avoid spam at all costs. You may email people you know, or who have given you or your business their email address with the understanding that you can contact them.

Now, here are some extra email promotions you can use (you can also use them on your web site in addition to emailing them):

1. Download the zip file with emails and web sales copy ready for you here. (Note: remember to put your affiliate link wherever you are asked to within these emails and sales copy e.g. where it says <<<<<< INSERT YOUR AFFILIATE CODE HERE >>>>>>
2. Articles: Articles are some of the very best ways to promote an affiliate program. They give the reader some useful free content and gives them the assurance that we provide a product that has use and value to them. They are great for building confidence and a sense of connection. Over time, they will bring you lots of sales. You can post them as pages on your web site and send them out in your newsletter. We have put them all in one zip file. Just download it here. (Note: remember to put your affiliate link wherever you are asked to within these emails and sales copy e.g. where it says <<<<<< INSERT YOUR AFFILIATE CODE HERE >>>>>>)
3. Banners: Here are some banners for you to place on your website (download them here). We recommend that you use the largest banners because the small ones are sometimes easily ignored and the standard sized banners are sometimes not as effective as the oversized ones because people have become subconsciously used to ignoring banners of the standard, typical size.
4. A Happy Pocket Full of Money 6-CD Set web page including free online audio sampler and player. Very cool! Add this to your web site and watch sales go up! Here is how the free online audio sampler and player will look like and work on your site::

Signature Files

Imagine if every email you sent to anyone (even just friendly emails to your friends) had a small ad at the bottom that earned you money - over time, that would bring you quite a tidy sum. That is how Hotmail became one of the most popular sites on the Internet. Have you noticed that whenever you get an email from someone with a Hotmail account it always has a little short advert at the bottom that encourages you to also join Hotmail? This is called viral marketing. By using the product, you are marketing the company. By using Hotmail, you automatically market Hotmail to the people you send emails to. Now you can do the same with our affiliate program and make money automatically!

Simply set up your email client (like Outlook or Eudora) or your email service (like Hotmail or Yahoo!Mail) to automatically add a "signature" to the bottom of every email you send. Each email client or service has a help file that explains how you can do this easily, so please consult your email client's/service's help file. For quick reference, here is the help file for how to achieve this on Outlook or Outlook Express:

For Microsoft Outlook:

• From the main Microsoft Outlook window, on the Tools menu, click Options , and then click the Mail Format tab.
• In the Compose in this message format list, click the message format that you want to use the signature with.
• Under Signature , select an e-mail account, and then choose the signatures that you want to use for new messages and for replies and forwards. You can use different signatures for each.

For Microsoft Outlook Express:

• On the Tools menu, click Options , and then click the Signatures tab.
• To create a signature, click New and then either enter text in the Edit Signature box or click File , and then find the text or HTML file you'd like to use.
• Select the Add signatures to all outgoing messages check box.

OK, now here is a signature file you can use:

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Can I link to specific products or pages within Images of One?

Yes you can!

You can control which page your default link points to using the “u-parameter.”

The u parameter looks something like this:

&u=www.imagesofone.com/thepageyouwishtolinkto.asp

Add this to the end of your default affiliate URL to manually override the destination of the link with the URL that has been entered in the parameter following the equals (=) sign.

The u-parameter does not work for the pre-written sales materials we have for you in your affiliate center; it works only for the default affiliate link.

For example, if your default link is:

http://www.imagesofone.com/cmd.asp?af=343084

And you wish to send people to this page:

http://www.imagesofone.com/ppages/ahappypocketfullofmoney6CDs.asp

You would have your affiliate link set up like this:

http://www.imagesofone.com/cmd.asp?af=343084
&u=www.imagesofone.com/ppages/ahappypocketfullofmoney6CDs.asp

Another example, if your default link is:

http://www.imagesofone.com/cmd.asp?af=343084

And you wish to send people to this page that has our free videos:

http://www.imagesofone.com/fg/

You would have your affiliate link set up like this:

http://www.imagesofone.com/cmd.asp?af=343084&u=www.imagesofone.com/fg/

If I send someone to the Images of One site today and they go back and buy next week, do I get credit?

You get 90 days! If someone follows your affiliate link to our website, we will pay you a commission for everything they purchase within 90 days. If they follow another affiliate link of yours later on, we start counting 90 days again.

Is it possible to customize the free trials and free eBook samplers with my affiliate links?

We get very many requests for this. It isn't physically possible to prepare a customized pdf sampler for each affiliate manually - there are way too many. The only way to do it would be automatically. We do have plans in place to install a pdf server to make these customizations automatically for each affiliate, but that is not available now and may not be until late this year. In the meantime, I would suggest marketing the ebooks without using the sampler until the time comes when you can customize your copy online later this year.

Login Troubleshooting:

In the rare event that you have trouble logging into your affiliate account, follow these instructions:
