Affiliate Programs
Option I: The Simple Fundraiser
This program would donate 25% gross profit to developers each time a question pertaining to their theme/plugin is posted to WP Questions. The developer would simply need to contact us and provide a few keywords (ex: “Mimbo theme”) and a PayPal address. Payments would be sent at month’s end with no further participation required from the developer—it’s simply a donation. (Read More »)
Option II: The Featured Affiliate
This program would donate 100% gross profit to developers each time a question pertaining to their theme/plugin is posted to WP Questions. The developers would be asked to include a graphic on their site suggesting WP Questions to users in need of urgent answers...
...in addition to emailing us their keywords and a PayPal address. We would also encourage these developers to blog and tweet about WP Questions for our mutual benefit. (Read More »)
Terms & Details • Defining "gross profit": We charge 9% plus 90 cents on top of the prize money that is offered for a question. PayPal charges us 3% plus 30 cents. So if someone asks a question, and offers $10 as a prize for the answer, we charge $1.80 on top of that $10 (the customer is charged $11.80). PayPal charges us 65 cents when payment is first made, then PayPal charges us another 20 cents when the winner withdraws their money (Mass Pay), so our gross profit is 75 cents. That 75 cents would go to you, the developer.
We use specific keywords to track related questions, but by default we also track whether the name of the theme or plugin is mentioned in the subject or body of the question. If a question uses a keyword from one of your plugins, but upon inspection the question turns out to have nothing to do with your plugin, then Darren or I would flag such a question as "unrelated" to your plugins.
Note: WP Questions retain the right to change our prices at any time. If a post is about multiple plugins, from multiple authors, the default assumption should be that WP Questions would keep 100% of the revenue from that question. We would be unable to split up the revenue into multiple shards, each going to a different plugin author.
Option III: For Bloggers
If you wish to simply put a WP Questions ad on your site to earn affiliate revenue each time someone uses your affiliate page to sign up and ask a question, you can use one of the ads shown above.
If your username is 'johndoe' and you opted for the 125x125px ad, your affiliate code would look like:
<a href="http://www.wpquestions.com/affiliates/register/name/johndoe"><img src="http://www.wpquestions.com/images/ad-affiliate-125.png" alt="WP Questions"></a>If you log in to your control panel and click "Affiliate Info", you will find a summary of the users you have signed up, the questions they've asked and the revenue you've earned.
