White Rabbit Press Affiliate Program FAQ
Overview
The White Rabbit Press Affiliate Program provides an excellent opportunity to earn money without producing your own product. Simply become a member of our online store affiliate program, you don’t have to create any products or process any payments, you don’t need a warehouse or to handle any inventory, you don’t have to worry about postage and packaging—all that is handled by the us.
Basically, all you need to do is just to create text or images links for our products on your web site, blog, in any online forum, or even in an email to a friend. We provide you with some advertising links/banners which you paste into your site, and you are free to create your own ads using our links. When visitors click on those links and buy those products, you earn a commission.
Our affiliate program software allows you to get registered with the store’s affiliate program (that is, to become a partner ) and to get access to a personalized Partner zone where you can receive ready-made banners for promoting the store and get all sorts of information about your banners, sales and commissions.
