Become an Affiliate

Become an Affilate, and earn money

Back

 

Now you can earn a regular income by referring visitors from your site to ours.

All you have to do is put a banner on your site. It's that simple.

When your visitors click the link, the software records them as having come from your site.

And if they enroll on a course within 30 days, you get 10% commission.

It works automatically, and we use the top quality Affiliate Pro software.


About our home-study courses

We offer many courses. More, perhaps, than you imagined. They include interior design, garden/landscape design, life coaching, and copywriting.

All our courses help people to get a new career. And each is run by its own specialists. Every tutor, for example, is a working professional in that field.

And every course is carefully crafted to deliver the maximum information in the shortest time.

Plus, our courses are fun and challenging. But never dull.


It's a big field

Millions of adults are studying - for exams, for a new job, or just to prove they can do it.

They study because the world is changing. To keep up, we all need to acquire new skills.

Education has become a growth industry. And home study is growing even faster.


Wouldn't you like to be part of this creative, challenging world?

Distance education lets people study at home, on the train, or in their lunch hour.

  • They don't have to walk darkened streets, to attend night school.

  • They don't have to give up their job to go to college.

  • And they can fit their studies around their family commitments. (Many people study after the children have gone to bed.)

Our courses give people new opportunities. We help them get promotion, earn more, or just become more fulfilled.


Now you can contribute to this valuable work, and earn money as well.

We have students in 31 countries all over the world - from countries like the USA, UK, Australia and Singapore.

But on our own we can't reach everyone. In particular, none of the people who visit your website know about us.

Yet many of your visitors would do one of our courses, if they only knew about it.


Here's how the Affiliate program works.
  1. You sign up with us as a Affiliate. It costs you nothing.

  2. We give you a banner to put on your website.
  3. A visitor clicks the banner, and goes to our site.
  4. If they enroll on a course, the software alerts both you and us that a sale has been made. the software tells us how much we owe you.
  5. We pay you the 10% commission.

Typically, this means you make $64 (£35) on every course sold.


It's a completely transparent system

Remember, the software has been independently designed is is visible to you at all times. So you can see know how many clicks or sales have been made, by going to your own personal stats page.


How you get paid

We pay by PayPal. If you haven't used this before, it's very simple. We tell PayPal to pay you, and they put the money into your account. If you want to know more about PayPal, click here.


It costs you nothing

There are no fees for joining as an affiliate. It costs you nothing. And every time someone clicks from your site to ours, and then enrolls on a course, you get the commission.


Which type of site works best as an affiliate?

The best kind of site is one that specializes in an area relating to one of our courses.

That means one of the following:

  • Event planning

  • Gardens, garden or landscape design, horticulture

  • Homes, interior design or decorating
  • Life coaching
  • Writing, whether creative, screenwriting or copywriting
  • Advertising, marketing, online promotion
  • Complementary therapy, such as counselling or herbal medicine
  • Catering, food, kitchens, cooking
  • Education or careers
  • Business opportunities

So if you have a site dedicated to one of these topics, you should sign up as an affiliate.


Sign up now

Your can sign up right now as an Affiliate. It takes less than a minute.

And remember that, if you decide later this isn't for you, you can simply delete the banner from your page.

But if you have motivated visitors who enjoy the subject you cover on your website, the chances are that they'd love to know more. And learning by home-study is an ideal way for them to become more expert.

So this is a great opportunity to give them some useful extra information, and generate income for yourself.


Beyond the Affiliate - Becoming an Agent

Sadly, few affiliates manage to sell any courses at all. But we're keen to develop a closer relationship with people and organizations who can sell larger numbers of courses.

So once you have sold ten courses, we'll put you on to a much higher rate of commission - 20%.

We'll also rebate you an extra 10% commission for the first ten courses you sold. This means you'll have earned 20% commission from the start.

We work more closely with our agents than our affiliates; and to help you boost your business, we provide training support and marketing materials.

Because they proactively seek students, agents usually email us or phone us with the details of new students, rather than waiting for someone to click on a link in their site. Agents are usually a college or training organization.
