QUESTION: HOW OFTEN DO YOU UPDATE MY EARNINGS/COMMISSIONS?
ANSWER: YOUR COMMISIONS ARE UPDATED AFTER YOU RECEIVE SALES. THERE MAY BE DELAYS DUE TO THE AMOUNT OF TIME THE PAGE TAKES TO BE PUBLISHED TO THE INTERNET. ALSO, THE INFORMATION IS INPUTED MANUALLY. IF YOU RECEIVE AN ORDER DURING A TIME WHEN OUR SUPPORT TEAM IS BUSY OR NOT AVAILABLE, IT MAY BE DELAYED.
QUESTION: NOW THAT I HAVE THIS AFFILIATE PROGRAM SET UP, WHAT DO I DO NEXT?
ANSWER: YOUR GOAL NOW IS TO GET YOUR URL (WEB ADDRESS) IN FRONT OF PEOPLE. YOU CAN DO THIS BY USING ONE OF THE 4 SUGGESTIONS ON ADVERTISING IN CHAPTER 6 OF THE SYSTEM WHICH ARE, GOOGLE, OVERTURE, NATIONWIDE ADVERTISING AN EMAIL PAYS YOU. DO NOT LIMIT YOUR SELF TO JUST THESE 4 SUGGESTIONS. THERE ARE QUITE A FEW AFFILIATES THAT HAVE SEARCHED THE INTERNET FOR OTHER IDEAS AND HAVE BEEN SUCCESSFUL.
QUESTION: WHAT IS MY URL AND HOW DOES IT WORK?
ANSWER: YOU HAVE TWO PAGES THAT ARE DESIGNATED FOR YOU. THE FIRST ONE IS YOUR AFFILIATE HOME PAGE. WHEN YOU ADVERTISE YOUR SPECIFIC URL THAT WE PROVIDE, AND PEOPLE CLICK ON YOUR AD, THEY ARE SENT TO YOUR HOME PAGE. YOUR HOME PAGE URL, OR WEB ADDRESS, IS A PAGE THAT IS CODED WITH YOUR AFFILIATE NUMBER THAT IS SPECIFIC TO YOU ALONE. THE OTHER PAGE THAT IS ENCODED WITH YOUR AFFILIATE NUMBER IS YOUR QUESTIONS PAGE. WHEN PEOPLE THAT ARE ON YOUR HOME PAGE CLICK ON FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS AT THE BOTTOM, THEY ARE SENT TO YOUR ENCODED QUESTIONS PAGE. THE REASON FOR THIS ID THAT THE STORMPAY BUTTONS ARE ENCODED WITH YOUR AFFILIATE NUMBER. SISNCE YOU CAN ORDER THE SYSTEM FROM BOTH PAGES DUE TO THE FACT THAT THERE ARE BUTTONS ON BOTH PAGES, YOU NEED TO HAVE BOTH.
QUESTION: HOW DO YOU KNOW IF THE ORDER COMES FROM MY SITE?
ANSWER: THE STORMPAY BUTTONS ON BOTH OF YOUR PAGES ARE ENCODED WITH YOUR AFFILIATE NUMBER. EACH TIME AN ORDER IS PLACED, YOUR AFFILIATE NUMBER IS ATTACHED TO IT.
QUESTION: CAN I CHECK AND SEE IF MY AFFILIATE NUMBER IS ATTACHED TO MY ORDER?
ANSWER: YES, JUST GO TO YOUR AFFILIATE URL PAGE AND CLICK ON ANY OF THE STORMPAY BUTTONS. YOU WILL BE TAKEN TO STORM PAY AND WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE ITEM BEING PURCHASED IT WILL SAY "vision change program - (your affiliate #)"
QUESTION: WHY DO YOU ONLY PAY ME FOR THE FIRST WEEK AFTER 2 WEEKS (14 DAYS)?
ANSWER: STORMPAY GENERALLY TAKES UP TO 14 DAYS OR LONGER TO FUND US, OR RELEASE THE MONEY FOR THE ORDERS. WE CANNOT PAY YOU UNTIL THE MONEY HAS BEEN CLEARED BY THEM. WE ARE ALSO RESPONSIBLE FOR CHARGEBACKS THAT ARE SOMETIMES UNAVOIDABLE DUE TO CREDIT CARD FRAUD. STORMPAY RESERVES THE RIGHT TO CHARGE BACK THE ORDER SOMETIMES WITH OUT GOOD CAUSE. PRICE WE PAY FOR DOING BUSINESS ONLINE!
QUESTION: HOW MUCH DO I NEED TO SPEND IN ONE DAY TO MAKE $600+ A DAY?
ANSWER: THERE IS NOT AN EXACT AMOUNT OF MONEY THAT YOU CAN SPEND TO YEILD A CERTAIN PROFIT. THERE ARE A FEW VARIABLES THAT MAKE THIS IMPOSSIBLE. THE FIRST ONE THAT IS OUT OF YOUR CONTROL, IS PEOPLE. YOU ARE DEALING WITH A DIFFERENT PERSON EVERYTIME YOU RECEIVE A VISITOR. THIS PERSON MAY THINK THE IDEA SOUNDS GREAT AND ORDER, OR THEY MAY NOT AND NOT ORDER. YOU JUST CAN'T TELL. THE OTHER VARIABLE, THAT YOU CAN CONTROL, IS MAKING SURE YOU BRING TARGETED CUSTOMERS TO YOUR PAGE. THEY NEED TO BE LOOKING TO MAKE MONEY WHEN THEY COME. THATS WHY IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOUR KEYWORDS AND ALSO YOUR AD HAS TO DO WITH WHAT YOU ARE OFFERING. IF NOT, YOU WILL BE SPENDING MONEY ON PEOPLE THAT SHOULDN'T BE READING YOUR PAGE, AND THEY PROBABLY WON'T. SO WHAT IS THE ANSWER THEN? BRING AS MANY TARGETED PEOPLE TO YOUR SITE FOR THE LEAST AMOUNT OF MONEY. THAT IS HOW TO RUN YOUR AFFILIATE SITE.
QUESTION: I HAVE SPENT $100 TODAY AND HAVEN'T RECEIVED AN ORDER, WHY?
ANSWER: THERE COULD BE SEVERAL REASONS YOU HAVE SPENT QUITE A BIT OF MONEY AND NOT RECEIVED AN ORDER. YOU MIGHT BE PAYING TO MUCH PER CLICK. WHAT THIS MEANS IS WITH GOOGLE, YOU MAY HAVE SET YOUR MAX CLICK PRICE TO HIGH. WHAT WILL HAPPEN IS THAT YOU WILL RECEIVE SOME TRAFFIC BUT AT A BIG EXPENSE. WE SUGGEST YOU RUN YOUR MAX CLICK AROUND 60 CENTS OR UNDER. YOU WON'T RECEIVE AS MUCH TRAFFIC, BUT YOU SHOULD GET PLENTY FOR A LOT LESS. THE OTHER REASON COULD BE TARGETING THE WRONG PEOPLE TO YOUR PAGE. GO TO OUR KEYWORD HELP SECTION ON YOUR STATS PAGE TO SEE RELEVANT KEYWORDS FOR YOUR PAGE. THIS WILL BRING PEOPLE TO YOUR SITE THAT WANT WHAT YOU ARE OFFERING. THE OTHER REASON IS THAT IF YOUR AD IS MISLEADING YOU WILL BRING PEOPLE TO THE PAGE AND THEN THEY DON'T READ WHAT YOUR AD STATED. FOR EXAMPLE, IF YOUR AD USES WORDS LIKE "FREE" OR "NO UPFRONT FEE" THIS WILL SURLEY BRING PEOPLE TO YOUR PAGE BUT WHEN THEY SEE THEY NEED TO SPEND $57 THE WILL LEAVE. THAT IS AN EXAMPLE. TO GET HELP OR SUGGESTIONS WITH YOUR AD GO TO OUR AD HELP SECTION ON YOUR STATS PAGE.
QUESTION: DO YOU HAVE ANY KEYWORD SUGGESTIONS THAT YOU CAN GIVE ME?
ANSWER: YES, GO TO THE KEYWORD SUGGESTIONS LINK ON YOU STATS PAGE. THIS WILL LIST SUGGESTIONS.
QUESTION: DO YOU HAVE ANY ADS THAT YOU CAN PROVIDE FOR ME THAT I CAN USE?
ANSWER: YES, CLICK ON THE AD HELP LINK ON YOUR STATS HOME PAGE. THIS WILL GIVE YOU SUGGESTIONS ON ADS FOR YOU TO PLACE
QUESTION: HOW DO I GET MY AD TO THE TOP OF THE SEARCH ENGINE WITH GOOGLE/OVERTURE?
ANSWER: YOU CAN CHOOSE TO BE AT THE TOP WITH YOUR AFFILIATE SITE BUT YOU DON'T NEED TO. THE SITE WORKS PRETTY WELL, WE WARN YOU THAT BEING AT THE TOP OF THE SEARCH ENGINE MAY BE A BIT TO EXPENSIVE FOR PEOPLE JUST STARTING OUT. IF YOU STILL CHOOSE TO, YOU JUST NEED TO BE THE HIGHEST BIDDER FOR THOSE KEYWORDS YOU ARE USING. BOTH GOOGLE AND OVERTURE TELL YOU WHAT POSITION YOU ARE IN IN RELATION TO HOW MUCH YOU ARE PAYING PER CLICK. YOU CAN ALSO USE SEARCH ENGINE PLACEMENT COMPANIES. THEY PLACE YOUR LINK ON THE SEARCH ENGINE FOR YOU. DO YOUR HOMEWORK ON THESE COMPANIES IF YOU CHOOSE THIS ROUTE. COMPARE THEIR PROGRAMS AND ASK IF THEY GUARANTEE HIGH PLACEMENT AND IN RELEVANT SEARCHES.
QUESTION: AS AN AFFILIATE, DO I HAVE TO ANSWER CUSTOMER EMAILS?
ANSWER: NO, WE HANDLE ALL OF THE INCOMING EMAILS THAT YOUR PAGE GENERATES.

QUESTION: DO I NEED TO CERTIFY MY STORMPAY ACCOUNT TO RECEIVE MY COMMISIONS?
ANSWER: YES, CERTIFYING YOUR STORMPAY ACCOUNT WILL ALLOW YOU TO WITHDRAWAL THE PAYMENTS WE SEN YOU QUICKER. IT ALSO MAKES STORMPAY FEEL A LOT MORE COMFORTABLE WITH YOU AS A CLIENT.
QUESTION: SHOULD I CHECK AND SEE IF ANOTHER AFFILIATE IS USING A KEYWORD I WAS THINKING OF USING? IF THEY ARE THEN WHAT?
ANSWER: IT IS A GOOD IDEA TO CHECK AND SEE. HAVING 2 AFFILIATE ADS IN THE SAME LOCATION IS GOING TO DECREASE YOUR OWN PERSONAL CHANCES OF RECEIVING TRAFFIC. IF SOMEONE ELSE IS USING A KEYWORD THAT YOU WERE GOING TO USE, YOU JUST NEED TO PICK ANOTHER. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF DIFFERENT KEYWORD COMBINATIONS TO USE THAT ARE RELEVANT.
QUESTION: WILL MY AFFILIATE ACCOUNT EVER BE SHUT OFF?
ANSWER: YES. WE ARE HOSTING YOUR PAGES FOR YOU. THIS TAKES DISK SPACE ON OUR SERVER. AFTER 21 DAYS OF NO ACTIVITY (NO ORDERS) YOUR AFFILIATE SITE WILL BE PERMANANTLY SUSPENDED AND YOUR PASSWORD WILL BE CHANGED.

ANSWER: NO. THE ONLY ACCOUNT YOU NEED IS STORMPAY TO ACCEPT YOUR COMMISSION PAYMENT THROUGH
