Be an affiliate seller of Freelance Writers Den
Make money referring your writer friends!
Thanks for your interest in becoming a Den affiliate! Here’s how you can earn some sweet cash — just for introducing other writers to the benefits of joining Freelance Writers Den.
Here’s how my affiliate program works: I offer a 50% commission the first month one of your referrals signs up, and 25% commission every month from there on. You get paid every month your signups stay in the Den!
How to stay in the Den free
This is how easy it is: If you refer two friends in a month, it’s like your membership that month is free. If you have just four friends who’ve signed up and are ongoing Den members, you’ll earn as much as your membership fee. Refer more friends, and you’ve got a nice side income as a fringe benefit of your Den membership.
You’ll also be able to sell my $36 eBook, Make a Living Writing, at a 50% commission.
The rules are simple: You sell Den memberships at $25 apiece, and my ebook at $36. You cannot discount the prices — but feel free to offer an incentive such as a free report to writers who sign up through your site.
How to get started
1. Go to the Den Affiliate Signup Page and set up your affiliate account. Just in case, here’s the raw link:
http://www.freelancewritersden.com/idevaffiliate/signup.php
(NOTE: You will need a PayPal account to become an Affiliate, so if you don’t have one yet, head over to PayPal and sign up there. You’ll need to enter the same email address you gave PayPal when you sign up as an Affiliate her.)
2. Log in to your Affiliate home page. Here is the link (you’ll want to bookmark this one):
http://www.freelancewritersden.com/idevaffiliate/login.php
3. Get yourself a banner, text links, and other promotional tools. Check out the left-hand sidebar and click to get banners, HTML ads, and more.
4. Start promoting the Den. Install your banners and other promotional goodies on your website. Talk about the benefits of Den membership in blog posts, on Twitter, in emails — whatever’s your style.
5. Get paid. I pay out on the 1st of the month, every time your affiliate commissions hit $100.
Here’s a short video that walks you through the signup process, and shows you how to use the marketing materials to make sales. I recorded it as I tested out the affiliate system, so it also shows you common mistakes you can make in signup and how to avoid them!
If you’ve never done affiliate selling, don’t worry. It’s easy, and my affiliate software will walk you through the process. You’ll sign up, get your unique affiliate code, and then it will be included automatically in your banners, text ads, emails, HTML ads and more.
Think of all the writers you know who are struggling to make ends meet and need to grow their income.
Tell them about the Den, and all the e-courses, live-events, and helpful experts in forums.
Earn money.
That’s really all there is to it.

Note: You can be a Den Affiliate seller even if you are not a member of Freelance Writers Den. (But it’ll probably help if you are!)
