Frequently Asked Questions:Q1: How much does it cost to become an Affiliate Publisher of BlastInvest LLC's "Blast Investor Real-time Plus"? A: Nothing. Just get the newsletter! We are currently offering free affiliate publisher links and banners to Blast Investor Real-time Plus customers only. There are no monthly, or yearly membership fees, hosting fees, or processing fees. There are no hidden costs. This special offer may end at any time. Q2: Why do I have to subscribe to the newsletter to become an affiliate publisher? A: We prefer to have educated affiliates who have subscribed to the newsletter and like what they read. Remember, the newsletter itself will empower you to make the most of this innovative opportunity. If you don't have the cash to subscribe to the newsletter, but still want to resell it for profit, we can accommodate. Sign up for free as a basic distributor and we'll handle orders for you. Details are on the previous page. Q3: Why do you allow your newsletter subscribers only to have free banners and links, when most other program let anyone join for free? A: Actually, we realize we could sign up 10 times as many resellers if we opened up enrollment to the entire web. But frankly, we are not interested in signing up anyone and everyone. We want a concentrated group of serious individuals. This strategy also weeds out the "looky-loos" who really aren't serious about earning money online. What's more, while most affiliate programs online pay 5% - 20% one-time sale only commissions, we pay a full recurring 30% residual commission, we pay not only the first subscription sale, but also the recurring subscription sales, which gives our affiliates a real chance at serious income. Q4: What is the market for this investment newsletter? A: Our target market encompasses long term oriented individual investors, as well as anyone trying to make big money at low risk in the stock market. Q5: Can anyone from any country sign up as an affiliate publisher? A: Yes. Although this offer is NOT limited to U.S. residents, all commission will be paid out through PayPal in US dollars. Before signing up, please investigate this factor with PayPal. In many countries there is a restriction with PayPal service. Q6: How can I use links and banners? A: Simply login into your BlastInvest account after signing up with Blast Investor Real-time Plus service. Then click the link under your account "Advertise our website to your friends and earn money". You can find all the banners or links there. If you have your own web site, simply cut and paste the banners or links code directly into your web page. If you do not have web page, you can send affiliate URL to your fiends through email. Please read Q8 below for details. Use your affiliate URL in your email signature or in your BBS signature. You can get paid when a curious stranger clicks your signature and signs up with us. Q7: Can I create my own sale page for selling Blast Investor Real-time Plus? A: Yes, you can create your own sale page without relying on BlastInvest sale page. You simply create your own sale page with your own customized content. Then, you can use affiliate link "Try BIRTP 30 days FREE" to point buyers into BIRTP signup page. Q8: I do not have web site, how can I refer a friend to get commission? A: You can send your friend email using your affiliate web URL. Please follow the below steps to do that:
Q9: What is my compensation as an Affiliate Publisher or Basic Distributor? A: As affiliate publisher or basic distributor, you earn 30% for each recurring subscription sale of "Blast Investor Real-time Plus" that you generated, even when the newsletter goes on sale or on promotion, even if the sale is second or third subscription payment of the same customer! Your customer pays you forever as long as the customer continues to subscribe to BIRTP. That's a +30% recurring and residual commission, unheard of in most industries. Q10: Do you have any projections as to income? A: Because internet investment newsletter is still in it's infancy, we hesitate making unfounded projections. While many programs advertise "Earn Thousands Per Week" we always strive to be truthful and honest. Your earnings from this program depend on you, the individual. We expect the payouts to continue rising as the internet investment newsletter expands well into the 21st century. Q11: How long does it take to get paid? How do you pay me? A: You are paid on monthly basis. There is 1 month waiting for payout of the commission. For example, we pay commisions for July in September. Currently, we only pay through PayPal. Make sure that you select PayPal as your "Payout Method" and fill out the PayPal email address in your BlastInvest account profile. Q12: How do you track my commissions? A: We use aMember pro software to track affiliate information. aMember pro is very popular and reputable membership software, which runs on thousands of web sites worldwide. Specifically, each affiliate publisher is assigned a unique ID. The ID is part of your banners or links. Your ID is automatically entered at our secure server when someone orders from your banners or links in your website or your email. This allows us to track how many orders your links or banners are responsible for. We also track cookies of the customers who followed your links to our page so that we can associate the cookies information with your code. Cookies information is stored in customer's web browser and our cookies lifetime setting is 365 days. All the affiliate tracking information is stored in our backend relational database. Q13: Do you provide online statistics so I can track my efforts? A: Yes. Once you sign up as an affiliate you will be given access to a membership login page where you can check the number of visitors to your links or banners as well as the number of sales. Q14: Are there quotas to meet or penalties if I decide to stop marketing? A: No. You are totally free to decide for yourself how much marketing you want to do. You have no quotas or obligations to meet. Of course the more advertising you do (banners, newsletters, etc.) - the more subscriptions you are likely to sell, earning you more money. We do however have a "No Spamming" policy (sending unsolicited e-mail) and adult related sites cannot participate. Violation of either of these rules is cause for immediate termination of our agreement. Q15: When I sell a newsletter subscription, and that person decides to become an affiliate publisher, do I make more money? A: No. This is not a multi-level marketing opportunity or "MLM". There is no recruiting to do. The only way to make money is by selling newsletter subscriptions. This makes for a simple and easy to understand program. There is only one tier to this program. Frankly, most two-tier programs pay very little on level two and we decided to pay a premium 30% recurring commission to the affiliate who sell the newsletter. Q16: How long is this affiliate publisher agreement good for? A: A Long Time. Although legally, either party maintains the right to terminate this arrangement at any time, we're not going anywhere. Although our business IS internet value investing newsletter, I personally have been doing stock market investing for a decade. Value investing method is an established proven investment method for many decades tracing back to Warren Buffett's teacher Benjamin Graham. As long as we're in business, your affiliate publisher status will be a part of it. We're banking on a long healthy existence. Why? Well, value investing is proven safe investment method for many decades regardless of bear or bull market and we do not believe it will fade anytime soon. Q17: How do I get started? How long will it take to get my new affiliate publisher site up and running? A: If you already subscribe to the newsletter, you can get started right now by clicking the "Advertise our website to your friends and earn money" link under your account page. It takes just minutes to use our Banners or Links to setup this up in your web page or send the links to your friends by email. If you do not subscribe to the newsletter yet, come get it, or consider our basic distributorship. What have you got to lose? Sign up for your affiliate publisher status today!
