Qualified Sale means a sale that was tracked and received by us which has resulted in a commissionable payout.
APPLICATION CRITERIA
We cannot approve any person or entity as an Affiliate if they have no online presence with proof of ethical business activities that serves a benefit of an owned audience. We do not support clickbait schemes or sole CPA based affiliate advertising, but rather seeking partnership with like minded content providers and influencers with an audience of their own. We assess each application individually and reserve the right to deny or accept each at our sole discretion.
To be able to apply, you need to register a free account on our site, with the same email address that you reach out to us with your application request. For the payout, you need to have a Paypal account. This you can set up in you Affiliate dashboard.
AFFILIATE PROCESS
In the case that your application for our Affiliate Program is accepted, we open you an Affiliate account that you will be able to access directly from a seperate affiliate dashboard.
We will attribute referrals to you based on a tracking code embedded in your Affiliate Links.
When a referral clicks through your Affiliate Link, a cookie is set in the referral’s browser that contains your tracking code.
This also tracks other information, such as the IP address of the referral, in its database along with your tracking code.
When the referral decides to buy a course, membership, merchandise or service, a script will look for the cookie, try to match the IP address, or use similar technology to identify you and award the commission. Referrals from your Affiliate Link may make a purchase later in time and our platform may still award the commission if the cookie is still present in the browser or if the IP address still matches one logged in the database. (the cookie lifetime is 365 days) This is managed by the Affiliate platform we use.
In some cases, we may offer Affiliates a uniqe discount coupon code which may be used by customers referred by the Affiliate to yesimadesigner.com. Discount coupon codes are administered at the discretion of Yes I'm a Designer and may have restrictions, including but not limited to expiration dates or maximum usages.
We reserve the right to refuse service to any referral. (eg. someone repeatedly abuses the guarantees)
