What is a Referral Rewards Program?
Entrepreneurs like to help others, so you will, no doubt, refer information about this web site and our products and services to people in your business and to your friends, relatives, colleagues and acquaintances. When people you tell about us, make a purchase, we want to thank you – with cash!

After you sign up for our FREE Referral Rewards affiliate program, you will be assigned a unique URL. This is a web site link that automatically tracks all purchases made by people who come to us via your unique URL. Every time someone visits our web site via your URL and makes a purchase, you will earn a Reward (commission) from that sale. The more products we sell to people referred by you, the more you will earn. These are called “First Level” Rewards.

Think of your affiliate ID as a "tunnel" that marks those who pass through it with your ID number with what is referred to as a 'cookie'. This way when they purchase a qualifying product, the system checks for a cookie and if it finds one, it credits the affiliate who is associated with that cookie. This cookie stays active for 3 years unless it is overwritten by another affiliate ID (they passed through someone else’s “tunnel”) or if the person clears out their browsers cookies. Because you earn affiliate Rewards through a cookie on your referrals computer, your affiliate link points directly to our web site. (As opposed to a unique web site asssigned to your affiliate ID) Your contacts will NOT see your unique affiliate ID on the website. Do not be alarmed by this, you will still be getting credit for the sale via the browser cookie.

How does the Two-Tier Affiliate Program work?
When someone comes to our site via your Referral Rewards link, and they decide to join our affiliate program just like you did, they will earn Tier One commissions on their referrals, just like you do for your personal referrals. But since you were the one who introduced us to them in the first place, we'll pay you a small “override,” or “Second Level” commission.” That means you earn "first-level" commissions on every sale generated through your own unique Referral Rewards link, and you can also sign up "Sub-Affiliates" and earn an "override" commission on every sale that they make. The sales made by your Sub-Affiliates produce your "second-level" commissions.

How Much are the Referral Rewards (Commissions)?
For purchases of ALL VERSIONS of "Home Business Tax Savings MADE EASY!" we pay a generous 30% First Level Reward, PLUS a 10% Second Level Reward. For products where we are a ‘re-seller' (i.e., we're selling a product that's owned by someone else), the Rewards are First Level 15% and Second Level 5%. Deeply discounted specials and short term introductory offers are not commissionable.

When are Reward Payments Received?
Checks are cut every 60 days, on or about the 15th of each even numbered month (Feb, April, June, Aug, Oct, Dec.) for all unpaid commissions totaling $50 or more, accrued through the last day of the previous month.  If your unpaid Reward balance is less than our $50 minimum payout amount, your unpaid Rewards automatically  “roll over” into to the next commission period.

Commissions on personal purchases.
Our Referral Rewards Program is designed to reward you for telling others – i.e., your friends and contacts about our products and services. Affiliate Commissions are NOT paid on YOUR OWN purchases.

If someone originally came to our web site through your Affiliate link, you can get credit for any purchases made by them up to three years!
This is made possible by using "cookies" - small data files stored by the user's web browser for use by the web site that put it there. When your customer or business associate visits our web site using your Affiliate link, our domain will send their web browser a cookie to store this Affiliate tracking information. When the prospect becomes a customer and purchases an item through our Shopping Cart, the system checks for the Affiliate cookie. If the cookie is there, the Affiliate who originally referred him or her gets credit for the sale made.

Are "Cookies" really Safe?
YES. Most if not all e-commerce sites use cookies. The only way an Affiliate might miss a Reward is if the customer deletes their cookie files (pretty rare) before coming to your Order Form, or if the original cookie gets overwritten by another Affiliate - this happens only if the customer came back to our web site through another Affiliate's special URL.

How do I add a Link on my Web Site?
You can add a simple text link or add one of our custom banner ads to your web site. When someone clicks on the link or banner ad, they will go to our web site through your Affiliate URL. We provide easy-to-use instructions to copy the simple HTML Code required for your web site, when you login to your Affiliate account. What if I Don't Have a Web Site? Can I include my link in email messages? YES. You can include your Affiliate URL in your email messages, and include them after your name in the “signature” at the end of your emails. Our Affiliate Resources section also includes sample emails you can copy or customize for promotional use. Also, to make it easy, we set up a special "Tell-A-Friend" program that you can just put the name and email address of people you would like to notify, and it will automatically send a personalized email to them from you with your Affiliate link!

Can I purchase a domain name (Website address) and have it forward to my affiliate link?
YES. If you purchase a domain name, the company that you purchased it through will handle forwarding it to your affiliate link. (The one that was sent to you when you signed up) This will send visitors referred by you to the Home Business Tax Savings web site through your affiliate link, thus giving you credit for the sales!

Can I track my Rewards Online?

YES. One of the powerful features of our Referral Rewards Program is the ability for you to view real-time sales tracking. You will receive a Username and Password upon enrolling as an Affiliate. Any time you login, you can check your First-Level and Second-level Rewards.. 

If my Rewards are small, do I lose them?
NO. Some other affiliate programs, your commissions expire if you don't meet their payout requirement within a certain number of months, but Rewards (commissions) you earn with us never expire.
