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 web based email, free websites, shockwave
games, a bulletin board, and more exciting features that you
can be proud to send your visitors too. The cookies set by
our program are set to never expire, so you earn commissions
even if the visitor doesn't make a purchase on their first
visit to ihateclowns.com.
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 15% 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 only at ihateclowns.com;
- work
with a trusted third party (shareasale.com) for better reporting
and reliable payments
- 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

us if you have any questions.
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
parasiteware
free (no cometcurser, hotbar, or other link stealing apps);
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 15% 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.
The tracking
code allows you to earn commissions on ANY purchases made
by the customers you send us for as many times as that customer
comes back to shop on our site. We give you direct links to
our most popular products and attractive banners to help you
generate more interest and sales.
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. We will even pay you 1% on sales generated
by associates that you recommend to our program.
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 $50. If your
commissions for that month are less than $50, they will be
carried over to the next month. All payments are handled by
ShareASale.com, our trusted affiliate marketing partner.
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, we encourage you to either link to
our main page or directly to any product you think will sell
well on your website. Our affiliate program is designed to
provide linking to specific items. We believe that a link
to specific products or the ihateclowns.com storefront home
page will increase your opportunity to earn higher commissions.
Tracking
Orders and Commissions
ShareASale.com,
our third party affiliate marketing partner's 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 available once you login. The fast servers
of ShareASale will be used to serve the banners and graphics
for our affiliate program. Please contact us before you use
any of our images from our catalog to put on your server.

Commissions
are paid on all initial and future purchases by each new
visitor net of taxes, shipping, cancels and returns, which

affiliate link. The cookies set by ShareASale will never
expire, so you will be credited for all future purchases
even if the visitor doesn't purchase a t-shirt on their
first visit to ihateclowns.com. |

also pay commissions to affiliates who make purchases
at ihateclowns.com for themselves. |
