What is an Affiliate Program?

In a nutshell, an Affiliate Program is a referral-based marketing strategy (also called "revenue sharing"), in which Merchants pay Affiliates commissions for referring business to the Merchant's website.

Merchants do not pay for advertising with their Affiliates until a sale occurs. Instead, Merchants pay a commission to referring Affiliates for resulting sales.

Since the referring website (the "Affiliate") has a direct incentive to send customers to the merchant, they tend to market their Merchant's products or services more aggressively than would a prepaid advertiser. In fact, affiliates are becoming well known and well respected for their effective marketing ability.

How does your Affiliate Program work?

Our Affiliate Program allows you to receive commission from every qualified sale of the following products: (Click here for pricing information)

  • Zilch Standard Debt Reduction Software
  • Zilch Professional Debt Reduction Software
  • Any software product we add later
Qualified sales are sales to visitors, who visited ZilchWorks.com through a link on your Web site or in an e-mail letter.

Step 1 - Sign up to become an affiliate. It’s easy to apply, and best of all it’s free. Our affiliate program is managed by Share-It, a specialist in software affiliate programs. It usually takes Share-It one business day to review your web site and approve your application. Click here to sign up as an affiliate.

Step 2 - Place special coded Affiliate Tracking Links on your Web site that send visitors to our Web site. You can generate these special links here.

Step 3 - Share-It will identify and track those visitors you sent to us (via a proven cookie/database-driven system) as belonging to you.

Step 4 - When those visitors purchase products from us you get credit for the sale and get paid a commission directly from Share-It.

Create your special Affiliate Tracking Links using our link generator tool.

Is there anything special about your Affiliate Program?

The special benefit of our Affiliate Program is that it has '6-month cookie retention time'. That means even if the sale comes 5 months and 29 days after the visitor visited http://www.zilchworks.com through your link, it is a qualified sale through YOU, and you are paid your commission EVEN that long after the fact.

Each visitor through your link gets a unique 'cookie' with a record of your Affiliate ID, set to expire only at the end of 6 months. 'Cookies' are used by 85% of Web sites on the Internet so visitors to these sites can be remembered. If you open the Cookies folder on your PC, you will find hundreds of "cookies" from Web sites you have visited.

Average affiliate programs offer a 1-month cookie retention time, and some do not offer even that, limiting the commission to the very day (or even session) when a visitor clicked on a link to them. We do not do that because we believe your marketing efforts should be rewarded.

Is there a guarrantee that I will get paid?

Our Affiliate Program is tracked and managed by an independent, reliable third party (Share-It). This means that each affiliate commission on every purchase is automatically deducted from the sum that goes to our account and deposited in your account.

In the years we have worked with Share-It we have not had a single delay in receipt of payments. The payment cycles of this established payment processing company with offices in Greensburg, Pennsylvania, USA and Cologne, Germany, run like a Swiss clock.

Otherwise the balance is transferred to next month until you reach minimum payment amount.

If a visitor first visits your Web site through affiliate1, and then through affiliate2, who gets commission?

That's a good question. In this case, the tracking system is set to reward affiliate1 the commission.

I don't have a website how can I participate?

The bottom line... you must have a website to participate in our affiliate program. Share-It visits the website of each affiliate who signs up to ensure it meets a certain set of standards.
