What is your affiliate programme?
Our affiliate programme rewards you financially for directing customers to our Essential Business website. When a customer you refer purchases a product, we pay you a commission for the sale(s).
How do I join your affiliate programme?
If you are interested in joining our affiliate programme, please email info@essential-business.co.uk with your name, business details and a short note about why you are interested in promoting our products. We will review your application and be in touch with you within seven days.
How does your affiliate programme work?
Our affiliate programme allows you to make money by referring customers to our website. You can do this by placing links, banners, product reviews, or any of the other content we provide you with on your website. Each time you refer a customer to us and that customer makes a purchase, you earn a commission.
We provide tracking, reporting, and real-time commission statements, which you can access on your affiliate dashboard, along with on-time and accurate payment to all our affiliate members. In every calendar month you will receive your commission payments by BACS transfer (in accordance with our Terms of Use which you will receive on signing up).
Does it cost me anything to become an affiliate?
It’s absolutely free to join our affiliate programme. There’s no charge to apply and there’s no minimum sales requirement.
How much can I expect to earn?
That’s completely up to you. We can help if you need something specific to promote Essential Business your way, but your profit potential completely depends on your sales. Our standard commission rate is 25% of every sale you make (excluding VAT). Commissions increase over time.
Are websites outside of the UK eligible for your affiliate programme?
Yes, we welcome applications to our affiliate programme from most countries.
Can I promote Essential Business on more than one website?
Yes, absolutely. You can promote our products across one or all of your websites. The more links and content you place on your websites, the more qualified visitors you’re likely to send us — and this should translate into a higher conversion.
Is my blog or website eligible for your affiliate programme?
Most business-focused blogs and websites qualify to participate in the affiliate programme. However, we reserve the right to refuse membership to a website or revoke your membership at any time, if we decide that your website contains objectionable material.
Where should I place affiliate links on my blog or website?
You should place your affiliate links where they’re easy for your visitors to find — your website’s home page, navigation bar, and any other high-traffic areas. By placing the links on easily accessed locations, visitors will be more likely to click on your links and make a purchase. But remember too that from time to time we also provide you with advance product launch information and promotional tools to make converting your visitors into sales as easy for you as possible.
