For those of you not yet familiar with affiliate programs, it is essentially a paid referral program.  After your application is approved, our software will automatically create a special affiliate code that will give you credit and commission for any sales generated through that code.

What this means is that all you have to do is login to your affiliate account, and copy and paste the link to your website or email.  We can even show you how to redirect an easy to remember domain name to your affiliate page, to make it even easier to get your credits.

No problem!  Your tracking code can be placed in an email, a social networking site like Facebook, or Myspace, or we can show you how to redirect a domain name to your affiliate page for less than $10 per year.  Or, we would be happy to set up a subdomain for you on our server.

If you don't have a website or domain at the time of signup, simply enter UnderwaterFishLight.com in the website field of the signup form.

That is totally up to you.  We have no cap on potential comissions, so if you have a high traffic website, great networking skills, a large valid email address list (no spam), or an imaginitive marketing mind, the sky is the limit.   We pay a generous 7% commission on all qualifying sales to our affiliates.  With order totals averaging over $300, it is easy to see how it can add up quickly.

You will be paid via business check, sent US mail to the billing address associated with your account, or use your credits at any time towards the purchase of an Underwater Fish Light product.

Payments are made the 1st of each month, after an individual's account reaches $100. For example...

If a customer clicks your link and makes a purchase, your commission will be added to your account.  Once your account reaches $100 or more, it is cleared for payment and will be paid the first day of the following month, if 14 days have passed since the $100 mark is reached.  

C.  Once the first two conditions are met, the check will be sent the first day of the month

B.  The transaction is older than 14 days

A.  Your balance reaches $100 or more

In short commissions are paid when...

Because we are a business, paying commission checks, the current tax code requires us to collect a valid business tax ID # or social security #.   This information is transferred and stored through our secure online server and we promise never to share your information except as required by law.

It's quick and easy.

Visit http://www.shopunderwaterfishlight.com/affiliateinfo.asp and click "continue".

You will be guided through our quick and easy set-up process and once your application is approved, you will be able to log in and access your links.

If you are having any trouble, or have any questions about the program, feel free to email affiliates@underwaterfishlight.com for more information

a. No Spam -  It is fine if you have an existing list that you regularly market to, or would like to send your link to your personal email list, but please refrain from purchasing bulk lists and spamming with our links.

b. Appropriate Web Content -  We are big fans of free speech and have no business telling you what you can and can't have on your website.  That said, we do reserve the right to discontinue affiliates if we feel that they are placing our ads on sites that we do not feel properly represent our company.   We don't anticipate this coming up, but it's just a disclaimer in case our ads start popping up in innapropriate places.

This is really up to you, as long as you stay within a few guidlines.

Beyond that, it's up to you.  Some ideas to get you started...

Put the links on your social networking site

Email the links to friends

Print Flyers with a Domain Name redirected to your affiliate page

Post Online Ads with Your Link

Place Links on your website

Place links on forums you frequent

Hold a Fish Light Party & encourage guests to get one of thier own

Write a blog post about the lights with your link

Post YouTube videos of your light with your affiliate link or redirected domain name

Of course!  We want to do everything we can to help you be successful.  We are designing new banners all of the time.

You can see the latest banners at http://www.underwaterfishlight.com/html/affiliatebanners.html. If you don't see one that is perfect for you, or have an idea for a banner ad that you think would be effective, please don't hesitate to ask.

Please send custom banner requests with size, message, and graphics ideas to affiliates@underwaterfishlight.com and we will do our best to create something that suits your needs.

Our state of the art affiliate software handles everything.  As long a customer clicks or types in your link, your commission will be automatically tabulated and added to your account.

The built-in tracking system will even give you credit if the customer doesn't buy that particular day.  As long as they are using the same browser and have not cleared their cookies.   You will recieve the credit, even if they find our site through a bookmark or search engine the next time.

This means more commissions for you!

The standard banners and links already encoded with your affilate can be accessed through your account.  Once your affiliate application is approved, visit http://www.shopunderwaterfishlight.com and click My Account at the top.

Once logged in, click  Affiliate Statistics at the bottom and your standard links and banners will appear.

We are also adding new banners all the time.  Browse the selection at http://www.underwaterfishlight.com/html/affiliatebanners.html

Please note, with the non-standard banners on the page above, you must enter your affiliate number into the code provided to be sure your commissions are counted.

When you login to your account, click Affiliate Statistics at the bottom.

There you will see the standard links and html code.

Your affiliate code is contained within those links.

It begins with http://   and ends with your numeric affiliate #

An example of an affiliate code is http://www.shopunderwaterfishlight.com/?AffId=4

You must copy everything from the http:// all the way through to the affiliate number for the code to work.

For example, with a domain name, instead of putting http://www.shopunderwaterfishlight.com/?AffId=4 into your email or print flyer, you could put something like www.ABCFishLights.com

This can be a very effective technique for affiliate marketing. 

Domain names can be registered for under $10 per year and easily redirected to point to your affilaite code.

All you would have to do is register the domain name www.ABCFishLights.com for $9, and ask your registrar to help you forward the domain. 

Then, when people click or visit ABCFishLights.com, they are taken to shop.underwaterfishlight.com and you are given credit for any sales.

All this may sound complicated, but it’s actually quite simple and we are here and happy to help.
