Let’s Rise the Tides & Float Our Boats

I’ll be blunt: I’m just starting out on this digital and print-on-demand journey. Compared to you, my audience is probably small and my sphere of influence is pretty much just a dot.

But, I know what I’ve got to share is good stuff that’ll be worthwhile to loads of people — so I’m confident that hard work will be fruitful.

That’s why I’m seeking your help. I think my offerings would be of value to your audiences and am humbly hoping you’ll join forces with me to better serve them.

Now, I’m not coming to you empty-handed. I want to serve you, too. So, I encourage you to check out what’s on the table for SBSF affiliates. 👇

The Goods & the Swap

We can craft a bespoke affiliate package tailored to your needs and preferences from the menu below. The options will evolve over time.

If there’s something you’d like that I haven’t included below, just let me know — I’m open to ideas! (After all, you probs know what works best for your peeps!)

Affiliate Enticements

In exchange for promoting SB Success Factor offerings to your networks, right now (as of Feb. 2024) I can offer you one or more of the following incentives.

The Base Offer

This is the base compensation all affiliates are eligible for when a sale is made via their cookies.

Up to 30% affiliate commission on the actual dollar amount your referral spends on qualified products within the designated commission time period
Exposure to my growing network of clients, peers, etc. as appropriate (I’m BIG on referrals and connecting people and things!)

Let’s Discuss Some Frills

We don’t all have the same needs and preferences so I want to leave room to personalize your affiliate promotions and rewards. These are just some ideas for how we could do that. Interest piqued? Let’s chat!

Freebie for your audience (Exact lead magnet TBD)
Purchase bonus — e.g., a special freebie or discount — to encourage your audience to buy using your affiliate link
Advanced notice / priority consideration for collab opportunities like participating in an SBSF-hosted bundle, guesting spot in the membership, listing on my Everything page.
Promotional feature such as being listed on my Everything page, getting mentioned in an email to my list, being profiled in the membership, or having me write a blog post about you/your biz/your offer.
30-minute guided group session (that can be used for co-working, implementation, or accountability) with your audience
15-30-minute presentation or discussion on marcom, copywriting, operations management, project/program management, AI for content creation, or similar topics for your audience
Personal discount for SBSF products — templates, worksheets, trainings, etc. — in the SBSF shop (i.e., Don’t share these with your audiences or use them for PLR. The discount’s for you, not for your network members.)

And Then There’s More

On top of all this, my grand vision includes doing extra fun stuff like having affiliate challenges, special affiliates-only promo events, etc. Nothing revolutionary, but still worth a mention.

Your Part of the Bargain

The exact encouragement/reward bundle of will depend on the nature and level of your participation.

So, what’s your end of the deal?

Pretty standard trappings, really. You’ll circulate information and enthusiasm for my offerings to your audiences via email, social media, podcasts, your website, etc. We can hammer out the deets so it feels doable, authentic, and gainful.

The more your peeps engage with me and my stuff, the more you benefit, too.

Supporting You Supporting Me

I can provide you with:

Product imagery (lifestyle pics, mockups, etc.)

Talking points

Unique referral links

You’re welcome to swipe copy from my sales materials as well. But, I think it makes most sense for you to create or tailor some of the copy yourself so that it better resonates with your audiences.

Basically, let me know what you need. If I haven’t yet created the asset, I’ll do my best to accommodate you in a timely manner. (But lez be real — I’m no graphic designer, video wizard, yada yada.)

Additionally, I’m available to answer questions, field feedback, discuss the finer points, etc. I’m generally around during regular biz days/hours (Pacific Time).

Technically Speaking….

I’m a ThriveCart girl. My sales pages are there, most of my offers are served up via Learn, and my affiliate program is managed there. This is important in a few ways….

(To learn more about being an affiliate on ThriveCart, check out their article, What are my commissions and when/how am I paid?.)

Please Note: I reserve the right to change the following processes, terms, conditions, etc. at any time with or without notice to affiliates. I do my best to keep the info below up to date and to keep the lines of communication with affiliates open.

Application & Onboarding Process

While you’re going to fill out an Affiliate Application here, if accepted as an affiliate, you’ll need to complete the second part of the process. You’ll need to get set up on ThriveCart as an affiliate of mine.

It takes like two seconds to do if you have all the info ready or you’re already on ThriveCart as a customer or affiliate of someone else who uses TC for their affiliate program.

Once you’re good to go in the ThriveCart affiliate account, you’ll be auto-approved promote any products for which I’ve enabled affiliate promotions. This is most of my offers.

As soon as they’re ready, info/links to affiliate promotional materials for each product will be shown along with your affiliate links in ThriveCart. (There will also be an Affiliates Hub here on the website, someday….)

Affiliate Tracking

ThriveCart automagically does this. When you get set up with your TC affiliate account, you get your unique affiliate identifier code.

This is what enables ThriveCart to track how many people click through and subsequently purchase via one of your affiliate links. You’ll be able to see your own stats in your affiliate account dashboard.

Commissions & Payouts

This is all managed in ThriveCart. I select which products affiliates can promote and set the terms for affiliate compensation. TC tracks it all and issues payments when you’ve earned a commission.

Commissions

Here are the commission rates and cookie settings for all eligible products.

Free products: 0% commission on free product but standard commissions on bumps/upsells/downsells
One-time payment products: 30% commission including for any bumps/upsells/downsells
Memberships (subscription): 20% commission on the initial purchase + 15% commission on subsequent recurring payments (i.e., You’ll get a regular periodic commission for as long as your lead is a member.)

*Example of Commissions Settings/Structure*

Cookies

Cookies are set to last-cookie and are active for 60 days.

Payments

Commissions are automatically paid after a 14-day delay. While I don’t offer refunds (hello, digital products, can’t get ’em back once they’re in the wild), this window ensures that customers’ payments have cleared and are “bankfully” settled. Don’t want to have to clawback a commission that’s paid out, so it’s necessary to have this little waiting period.

All commissions are paid via PayPal. So you must have a PayPal account set up and connected to ThriveCart if you want to be paid. There is no minimum payout amount threshold. I will not do manual payments.

According to ThriveCart, affiliates are responsible for any fees PayPal levies. This is a PayPal thing. Neither I nor TC have any control over this. You’ll have to check PayPal to see what the fees are for your location as it differs from country to country.

So, Who the Heck Am I?

Well, I’m not Jean Valjean (24601! 🎶) — that’s for damn sure.

I’m Suz (rhymes with “news”). Currently, I live in the beautiful (though frequently gray and wet) PNW but we’re toying with the idea of being at-least-part-time digital nomads.

My background and career experience are in business management, operations management, marketing support and communications, and information and knowledge management. These days, I’m solidly in the marcom space, mostly helping small and medium-sized businesses do stuff like start and fill out their blogs or writing or revising their service pages.

The jump into digital and POD products is a natural extension of my 1:1 freelance and consulting work. I’m hoping it’ll:
