Bell Plantation Affiliate Program
Requirements
The Bell Plantation Affiliate Program is a terrific way to spread the word and sell our great, healthy products while earning a small commission based on the sales. In order to become an affiliate, you MUST have a website or somewhere you can post a clickable link. The reason for this is because your affiliate link MUST be clicked and not copied and pasted into a web browser. This is how you get credit for your sales as well as how others can sign up to become an affiliate under you, thus earning you more residual income! Back to the top
Sales
In order to receive credit for any sales, a visitor MUST click on your specific affiliate link. That link will direct them to our site. They cannot copy and paste the link into their browser window - it must be clicked from a banner ad or text link. They must also make a purchase during that visit. If they close out of their browser, they will need to re-use your affiliate link or you will not get credit. However, once a visitor has made a purchase on our site using your affiliate link, they no longer have to use your affiliate link. Our system will remember that they purchased using your affiliate link previously and you will always receive the correct commission for any sales they generate. Back to the top
Affiliates Under You
If a visitor wishes to become an affiliate under you, the same principle applies. They MUST click on your affiliate link, taking them to our site, and click the ‘Become an Affiliate’ link at the bottom of the page. If they close down the browser they'll have to repeat the process in order for them to correctly become your affiliate. It's important to note that a Bell Plantation account is required first to become an affiliate, and IS NOT the same as an Affiliate Account by itself. The Bell Plantation account turns into their Affiliate Account once they complete both sign-ups. If the person does not have a Bell Plantation account they will need to sign up for that first, then go back and re-click your affiliate link, taking them back to our site. This is probably the most important part to remember and the one a lot of people miss. If they do not follow this process, they will have to have their account deleted and start over.
The final thing to note about our Affiliate Program is that, in order for you to receive credit for your own purchases, you will need to sign up for a second, non-affiliate Bell Plantation account. This will require a different email address than the one you use for your Affiliate Account. When you make a purchase, you’ll need to make sure you’re signed out of your Affiliate Account and then click on your own affiliate link. Select the items you want to purchase and when you’re prompted to login, use your non-affiliate account to login and complete the transaction. Back to the top
Conpensation
The Bell Plantation Affiliate Program is based on a tiered-leveling system. Your tier has five levels. You start out in level one. Anyone who signs up under you goes into level two, anyone they sign up goes to level three, so forth and so on, all the way down to five levels. You can have multiple people in levels 2 - 5. The commission percentages for the levels are:
- Level 1 - 5%
- Level 2 - 3%
- Level 3, 4 and 5 - 2%
Affiliates are paid quarterly; March, June, September, and December. You must have earned $50 in commission sales in order to receive a check. We're working towards paying our affiliates by PayPal or direct deposit, but at present it's by check only. If you do not earn $50 by the quarterly payout, then the commission is rolled over to the next quarter. Back to the top
