This means that Homeplans.com will be the only home plans link on your website; you will not promote any other home plan-related company or product on your site. As an exclusive promoter, we'll reward you with a generous 15% commission on all sales (home plans, project plans, books and CD's) generated through your links. How do I add Homeplans.com links to my website? Once you have been approved into our program, you will receive an email Welcoming you to our program. In the email, there will be log-in information for the Partnership Center, where you will have access to a variety of banners and buttons. Once logged in, go to the "Get Links" page and follow the instructions. Why do I need to choose a Template during registration? When we originally developed our program a few years ago, we decided that in order to have a successful program we needed to offer something special and unique to our E-ffiliates. Instead of linking directly to our homepage (which most Affiliate Programs have you do), we created non-branded templates. These templates don't have our logo or other branding referencing Homeplans.com so your customers are led to believe that they are purchasing home plans directly from you. This helps E-ffiliates market and promote home plans better and it encourages repeat traffic. What's the difference between the templates? The basic template (Template A) has the four main sections from our website - Home Plans, Customization, Project Plans and Books & More - as well as a left navigational bar and footer. Templates B-D are just different variations of this template. You can see what each template looks like by choosing the appropriate template from the drop down menu and then clicking the "Preview" button. How many links can I have to Homeplans.com? You can have as many links as you would like! What if I have more than one website? We certainly recommend adding Homeplans.com links to all of your websites. In fact, we encourage it! Tracking will still take place and all of your site will be listed under one account. How do I check the status of my account? Once you have been approved into our program, you will recieve an email Welcoming you to the program. In the email, there will be log-in information for the Partnership Center, where you can access your sales report. Once logged in go to the "Reports" page. We provide REAL-TIME reporting of qualified sales. Qualified sales do not include shipping and taxes. You are paid a commission on qualified sales. When do I get paid? We will pay you commissions on a monthly basis. Approximately 30 days following the end of each calendar month, we will send you a check for the commissions earned on all sales that were shipped during that month. Do I need to sign some sort of Agreement? In order to complete the registration form, you must read the E-ffiliate Agreement and click the box at the bottom of the page that says, "I agree with the terms and conditions of the E-ffiliate Agreement". Once you click this box, we now have your "virtual" signature. To read the E-ffiliate Agreement, click here.
