Benefits
Of Being An ihateclowns.com Affiliate
ihateclowns.com
offers cool t-shirts and merchandise that can be found no where
else on the web. Our funny t-shirts have sold well for over 6 years,
and now you can share in some of our success. Our site also offers
free email, free websites, shockwave games, a bulletin board, and
more exciting features that you can be proud to send your visitors
too.
You must have
a website that you can edit to include our linking HTML, banners
and/or text links to be part of the ihateclowns.com affiliate program.
As an ihateclowns.com
affiliate, you can
- make your
website more interesting and productive;
- easily and
automatically earn commissions of 10% of purchases*
made at ihateclowns.com, when a visitor clicks through from your
website or uses your affiliate link;
- share the
cool and unique items, which are found at ihateclowns.com;
- do all of
this without any selling or other effort on your part; and
- be paid monthly
commissions when your commissions exceed only $20 (other websites
pay you only when commissions exceed $100 or $200).
Best of all, we
do the selling for you. And, we offer both security and a 100% satisfaction
guarantee, so visitors will be confident in purchasing with us online,
which means you may earn more commissions.
You can join

The
Type Of Affiliate Websites ihateclowns.com Is Looking For
For our relationship
to be beneficial to both ihateclowns.com and our affiliates, we
have developed a few basic criteria for an ihateclowns.com affiliate
website. To qualify, your website must:
- not display
or promote violence, sexually explicit material, illegal activities
or discrimination in any form (except for anti-clown discrimination...of
course that's ok :-);
- be aesthetically
pleasing (and hopefully a LITTLE funny);
- be based
in the United States (as well as it's owner); and
- be an existing,
live, completed site, that is not under construction.
Affiliate
Login Name
When you become
an ihateclowns.com affiliate through our online process, you may
choose any Login you wish, which isn't already taken.
However, it
is important that you use only letters and/or numbers,
and that you do not use spaces, underscores
or any other characters in creating your affiliate Login
Name.
If you prefer
that we sign you up as an affiliate, we will assign your affiliate
login and number and e-mail these to you with other important affiliate
information.
Promoting
Your ihateclowns.com Affiliate Business
The ihateclowns.com
Affiliate Banner
Of course, if
you have a website, the first thing to do to promote your ihateclowns.com
affiliate business is to place the ihateclowns.com banner on your
website. (However, if you prefer not to place a banner on your website,
you can still promote your affiliate business through text links
on your website)
To maximize
your opportunity of earning commission, we suggest that you place
your banner at the top of your website home page (or at least in
the top one-third of that page). You can also place your banner
on as many of your website pages as you wish. Each time your visitors
see your ihateclowns.com banner, you have another opportunity of
earning more commissions.
Don't Stop
With Your ihateclowns.com Banner
Even with your
ihateclowns.com affiliate banner on your website, or if you prefer
not to have a banner on your website, you can still promote your
ihateclowns.com affiliate business through text links (often MORE
effective than banners alone on a website). After becoming an affiliate,
simply create text links using your affiliate code in the links.
If you have a weblog, blogger, you can even include your affiliate
links in your weblog entries or your side bar. Be creative! Write
"advertorials" that describe the site and link to one
of the t-shirt designs specifically, or just put "i hate clowns",
"coulrophobia", or "clownophobia" on the page
linked to our store front. We'll leave it up to you to decide.
Whether you
use the ihateclowns.com banner or text links on your website, showing
your friends, family and business associates items that you have
purchased from ihateclowns.com is the very best way to promote your
affiliate business.
Earnings
By ihateclowns.com Affiliates
We pay a 10%
commission on purchases* made through an affiliate
website link.** There's no maximum amount of commissions
you can earn. The more you promote your affiliate link to ihateclowns.com,
the more likely you'll be to increase the amount of the commissions
you earn through ihateclowns.com.
In order to
do this, if you have a website, display the ihateclowns.com banner
as prominently on your website as possible (but at least within
the top one-third of your home page). Using the same affiliate code,
you can display the ihateclowns.com banner on as many pages of your
site as you'd like. The more you display our banner, the more likely
you are to increase the commissions you earn.
When
Commissions Are Earned
Commissions
are earned only on final orders. A final order is an order which
has been shipped and has not been cancelled or on which a return
credit has not issued.
Payment
Of Commissions
Unlike other
websites, commissions earned by you at ihateclowns.com are paid
monthly when your commissions exceed $20. If your commissions for
that month are less than $20, they will be carried over to the next
month. If your commissions do not exceed $20 within a year, we will
pay you your actual commissions at the end of the calendar year.
Commissions
On Returns
We offer an
Unconditional 100% Satisfaction Guarantee, which allows returns
for any reason within 30 days of receipt. Because commissions are
paid only on final sales, to allow for possible returns, as other
affiliate programs do, we pay commissions after the month end.
Linking
To Specific Items
Because most
items at ihateclowns.com are one-of-a-kind, and our storefront easily
allows a shopper to choose any product they are interested in from
the main page, neither our website or our affiliate program is designed
to provide linking to specific items. We believe that a link to
the ihateclowns.com storefront home page will increase your opportunity
to earn higher commissions.
Tracking
Orders and Commissions
Our on-site
affiliate program software uses your unique affiliate number to
automatically track orders placed by visitors who come to ihateclowns.com
through your affiliate link. Your account balance, updated daily,
can be reviewed by logging in to your affiliate account.
Updating
Affiliate Images
You can get
current banners and linking images from our
banners page here. Please download the banners and graphics
to your server and load them from your site. Please contact us before
you use any of our images from our catalog to put on your website.
