Frequenty Asked Questions About the Leading Audiobooks Affiliate Program

How do I sign up? That's the easiest part and it's free.  All you have to do is click here or at any of the locations within this site where you see these or similar indications.  It will be quite obvious.    All you have to do is fill in a few details on the form provided.  From there you will receive a confirmatory email giving you your unique ID to apply to all your links and a password.

How does the program work?

The basic manner in which this program works is that you place our text and/or graphical links on your website.  There are various promotional tools you can choose from to achieve this.  Then, whenever a visitor to your site clicks on the link and purchases one or more audio books, you will earn a commission which represents 15% of the sale.   As you progress and generate greater sales, you also have the potential to earn an even more generous 20% commission.  Every sale is tracked by our reliable system to ensure that you receive the commision you earn.   You can also access reports in real time to see who your customers are, what they have purchased and how much commission you have earned.   An important fact to note here is that we take care of the entire buying experience by your customers.

Once I have signed up, where do I log in?

You will find the login button on both the Home page of the Leading Audiobooks site and the Leading Audiobooks Affiliate Program site.  Alternatively, you can go to http://www.leading-audiobooks.com/affiliates where you can enter your username and password.  This will take you to the Affiliate Admin Section where you will be able to access the links, the Sales Reports, Special Offers, Coupon Codes and the Sell Direct specialised promotional tool. 

How are sales made from my site tracked so I receive the correct commission payment?

When you sign up, you are assigned a unique affiliate ID.   After that, whenever you login and access any of the links you require from the Affiliate Administration Site, those links will automatically contain your unique affiliate ID.  This ensures that when a customer visits your site and purchases an audio book by clicking on any of those specific links, our system will automatically attribute the correct commission to your account.

How and when do I get paid?

As mentioned, the amount of commission you earn is based upon the sale of audio books you generate each month, i.e., audiobooks that have been added to the customer's shopping cart through a link on your site/s and that have been paid for successfully by your customer.  The appropriate commission due to you on each successful sale will be recorded and attributed to your account after your customers' payments and delivery have occurred.    Payment to you of the commission you have earned will then be paid to you through PayPal approximately 30 days following the end of each calendar month.   In order for you to receive your scheduled commission, you must have a valid Paypal account. 

How much can I make?

How much you make depends on how many of your customers purchase audio books as a result of clicking on the specific audio book links on your site as well as how much those customers spend on each occasion they visit your site.   When you first join, you will automatically start earning a 15% commission on each audio book sold with the potential to earn 20% commission for the months when your sales total $1,000 US or more.  

How do I know how much I have earned?

You will be able to log in to Affiliate Administration Site with your username and password and access reports in real time to ascertain how much you have earned in addition to accessing information as to who your customers are and what they have purchased.
