Affiliate Program - Frequently Asked Questions

What is the ArchangelsBooks.com Affiliate Program?
As a partner in the ArchangelsBooks.com Affiliate Program, you can make money by providing to your visitors and clients the opportunity to shop for beautiful and traditional Orthodox devotional and gift items; Orthodox Books and Orthodox Music.

Does it cost me anything to join?
No. Nothing!

Do I have to have a big website to join?
Not at all. We accept applications from any website regardless of size. Sometimes our best partners have small websites. It's simply about how much you believe in this, how much you work on it, and how well you can promote it.

What's in it for me?
An opportunity – to help promote and encourage spiritual growth and prayer in others and an opportunity to develop an income to help fund yourself, your parish, your mission, your diocese or your jurisdiction! We need you and your support for our mission. Every time one of your customers or visiters orders from ArchangelsBooks.com by clicking on one of your links, you will get a 5% commission ON THE TOTAL PURCHASE PRICE!

Is there a limit on how much I can make?
No. We have no limits. Your earning potential is unlimited.

How often will I get paid?
ArchangelsBooks.com will pay you on a monthly basis within thirty (30) days after the end of each calendar month for all valid orders. An order is valid once the client has received his merchandise and has agreed to pay. You will receive a check or ArchangelsBooks.com may use the email you provided in your application to request a bank account or PayPal information to which the payment transfer may be made. You will receive payment every month assuming your balance is not less than $50. If it is less, you will receive all your money on the month your balance reaches $50 or more.

I operate an irrelevant site. Why would I want to join ArchangelsBooks.com?
First of all, ArchangelsBooks.com is based on niche marketing. By definition our target market is limited and targeted advertising is especially effective due to minimum competition. Strategically, placing an explanatory, informative ArchangelsBooks.com link on your website will draw only interested parties. In this way, you achieve maximization of your revenues, since those individuals are very likely to place an order.

There are lots of affiliate programs out there. Why should I join ArchangelsBooks.com's?
ArchangelsBooks.com's niche marketing allows you to maximize your earnings. Especially if your site enjoys visitors from a particular market group related to ArchangelsBooks.com (e.g. Christian sites, U.S. Churches (parishes, dioceses and jurisdictions), monasteries, travel and national websites especially Russian, Greek, Serbian, Bulgarian, Romanian, etc., websites providing information on the Orthodox faith or readings from the Fathers of the Church); your revenue to visitor ratio can be quite high because of the particular market niche!

Even general portal sites may benefit from placing discreet, informative links about Archangelsbooks.com in the appropriate categories.

What is a valid order?
A valid order is one placed through the site and is received and paid by the Client. Our policy is to accept all valid returns from our clients as well. This is beneficial to your visitors and ultimately to you in the long run, as it increases customer confidence and ultimately the volume of your orders.

What are "Impressions" (or "Views") and "Clickthroughs" (or "Clicks")?
An "Impression" (or "View") occurs when one of your customers sees one of our promotional links on your website. "Clickthrough" (or "Click") means one of your customers took action, clicked on one of the ArchangelsBooks.com promotional links, and as a result has been transfered to the ArchangelsBooks.com website.

How does ArchangelsBooks.com track impressions, clickthroughs, and valid orders?
Once you put an ArchangelsBooks.com promotional link on your site with the HTML code we provide, we start doing all the tracking for you and evaluating your performance and orders. Embedded in that HTML is a unique identifier that we use to identify all referrals coming from your site. Once a customer enters our main page, or any category or product page he receives an HTTP 'cookie' a unique identifier stored in his machine. This certifies that if he or she orders even if he or she visits other sites up to 90 days afterwards (ArchangelsBooks.com has a 90 day active cookie – If a customer orders within 90 days of the first visit to our website); the order will still be correctly identified as yours and commissioned to you.

How do I get my viewers to click on the ArchangelsBooks.com links?
There are lots of ways! First, put up more than one link – and put the ArchangelsBook.com links in prominent places. Place these links in context by sharing with your users if possible, a personal testimonial. Also, it has been found that links placed on the lower right corner of pages get more clicks. ArchangelsBooks.com is always working to develop and test new internet marketing concepts. But we also know that no one knows your customers and/or visitors – and their referrers – better than you, and so we allow you the freedom to use our resources as you judge more appropriate towards this effort.

Where can I get the ArchangelsBooks.com promotional links and graphics?
Once you join the program and become an active member, we will share our resources with you.

Other than the ArchangelsBooks.com home page, what other kinds of ArchangelsBooks.com pages can I promote on my site?
You can promote any individual product page or category you wish. We allow that because we want to let you apply your marketing since we believe that you know your visitors better than anyone. You may link category pages as well. Once you join the program and become an active member, you will have access to our promotional and instructional web page. In general, you may link to any type of product page on our website site. In the coming months, ArchangelsBooks.com will be expanding its product database and will be offering more new products and services that should further enhance your ability to earn larger commissions.

Is knowing HTML a requirement? Will I need a programmer?
No, you do not need to know HTML. Just cut and paste the HTML, that we provide you, onto your site. That's all it takes!

This sounds like a good way for myself or my organization to add some extra revenue. How do I join?
Simply go to our 'Affiliate Agreement' and and read it. Then click on the 'Sign Me Up' Link at the bottom of the Affiliate Agreement. After completing the application you may immediately start sending customers and/or visitors to your website to ArchangelsBooks.com and receive commissions for their orders.

Once I join, how do I get my promotional links and reports?
After you've been accepted to the ArchangelsBooks.com Affiliate Program, we will email you the link to our instructions and linking code; the ArchangelsBooks.com Banners, Buttons, or Text Links. Used in conjunction with with your unique personal 'Partner ID' these form the basis for success referrals from your website.
