Please note, that our system leaves you 24 hours for setting up the links. When we receive your application we will check your web site for our links and if approved the Hottrix Partner System will activate your account.
Let us know if you need other pictures or links and we will gladly help you. After all we're Partners now!
IMPORTANT: When you purchase items for yourself from Hottrix, go through your own link and SAVE 10% (you earn commission on your own purchase).
FAIRNESS: When your friends, customers and partners come to us through your link they will be registered as YOUR referrals imediately by our system. Our system allows them to think about ordering for a whole month. This is more than any other partner system offers. Most require your referrals to buy immediately for the commission to apply. Even closing the browser once voids commission in most programs (read the small print...). We don't like that.
We all know how it is: You sometimes need some time before buying something. So your people can come back at a later point and purchase from us and you still get your commission.
Each time they come from your link the 30 days are refreshed. Now that's very fair. After all they came from YOU!
OUR GUARANTEE: We cannot tinker with your sales figures because we cannot login to your personal Partner Page.
We do however verify each Partner Sale and will contact you if we feel something fishy is going on. A customer using stolen or invalid cards coming from you can technically close a sale but we will not receive payment. In that case (obviously) we cannot pay a commission on non-paid cards. This happens about once a year so not to worry. We just have to tell you!
Set-Up help:
How to put the links and images into your Web Page...
Login to your account by clicking here.
Now you enter the password etc. you received while setting up the account (remember you got an email with the codes!).
On your left you will see a link called Get Links. Click on it.
Now you see all sorts of banners, images and links. All have a funny box with weird code below them. That gibberish code is what you need to put onto your page! It's called HTML and is the food your browser needs to display exactly the funny picture you want.
Because you have your own web site we guess, that you know all about HTML but here it goes: Your HTML editing suite (GoLive, Dreamweaver, or whatever you use) will have a graphical interface and an HTML interface. That's where you drop the gibberish code.
So highlight the code underneath the image/banner you like (on your Partner Page), Copy it (CTRL + C or use Edit/Copy). Go to your Web Editor and paste the code somewhere within the Body Part... Bingo! You are all set!
How to put a link into a message board post, email etc....
Login to your account by clicking here.
Now you enter the password etc. you received while setting up the account (remember you got an email with the codes!).
On your left you will see a link called Get Links. Click on it.
Now you see all sorts of banners, images and links.
Find our text links. Some of them are very slim (one for instance only says "hottrix". Take that code and pase it into the text of your message board post, email etc.
If you are going to use the link a lot (frequent chatter etc.) you may want to save it as a text file somewhere easy to find so you won't have to login to your Partner Page every time you need it.
Your email program most probably has something called "signature" which is text, that is always automatically added to the end of all emails you send. You may want to put our link there so anyone who gets your email has the chance to click it.
NOTE: DO NOT SEND OUT UNSOLICITED EMAILS (SPAM). WE WILL TERMINATE YOUR PARTNERSHIP IMMEDIATELY IF WE FIND OUT THAT YOU HAVE BEEN SENDING UNASKED FOR MASS EMAILS. WE WILL PROVIDE YOUR DETAILS TO AUTHORITIES IN CASE OF SPAM INVESTIGATION. In short: Don't spam. It's NOT worth it and makes you and us silly and endangers our and your legal intergrity.
If you send out a newsletter to people who subscribed for it you may use our links very successfully by providing some information about "a great site" or "brand new product". You would have enclosed a link to us anyhow. Now you can even earn money doing so.
How to see how much you earned...
Login to your account by clicking here.
Now you enter the password etc. you received while setting up the account (remember you got an email with the codes!).
On your left you will see a link called Statistic. Click on it.
Now you see how many people placed orders after coming from your site. Remember: People will not need to buy immediately. They most likely come back to Hottrix in a few days getting their appetite up. Finally when they purchase (within 30 days). You will see the total amount right there. Cool!
How to change you email address etc....
Login to your account by clicking here.
Now you enter the password etc. you received while setting up the account (remember you got an email with the codes!).
On your left you will see a link called Your Details. Click on it.
Here are the details (Address and such) the way you entered them while setting up the Partnership. Now would be the time to correct the address etc. so we know where to send your checks...
What is this second-tier stuff about?
Basically you would be able to get other people to refer their referrals to you and then to us etc. It's just too confusing and smells way too much like multi-level marketing scam. Let's stay away from this kind of scheme. We're good so we don't need it.
Why does it say Mal's E-Commerce in our Partner Page?
Mal Steward is the ingenious mind behind this Partner Program and he offered to help us setting this up. Normally a solution like this would cost a fortune (that's why Amazon and all the other giants have affiliate programs...) and thanks to Mal we can offer this to you. As a trade-off he has his logo on your page.
When do I get my check?
At the 10th of every month we send out the checks of the previous month's commission. Again Fairness: We don't care how much or little commission you made. We will send the check!
Tips:
Some of our partners have made quite a killing by chatting and leaving posts in message boards, leaving a Hottrix-Link from their Partner Page (totally unsuspicious, normal text-link) and earn money from anybody clicking on it and ordering.
If you like our links and images place a few (just the ones from your Partner Page with the weird code) scattered over your site. The higher the exposure the more likely people will click and come to Hottrix.
Once they enter Hottrix, trust us: They will come back! They probably even order.
If you have a newsletter or subscribe to a newsgroup you may consider including a link in the footer or the message itself.
Write a few nice lines about Hottrix. Personal opinion always counts more than a cool picture.
