Q. As an affiliate, what are my obligations to the Real Estate Informatics Affiliate Program?
A. Your obligation is not really to the Real Estate Informatics Affiliate Program. Since you earn commissions based on the number of buyers you send to our website, it is in your best interest to encourage your clients/visitors to visit the Real Estate Informatics website and make a purchase.
Q. How do I earn money with the Real Estate Informatics Affiliate Program?
A. When visitors you send to the Real Estate Informatics website make a purchase there, you will make a commission on the sale.
Q. What's the commission plan?
A. For each verified sale on our site resulting from your referral, you will receive a 15% commission on the price for which the product was sold, excluding tax and shipping. Your commission check will be generated quarterly minus commissions for any outstanding returns, test orders or incomplete sales.
Q. How can I make bonus commissions with the Real Estate Informatics Affiliate Program?
A. Besides regular commissions, you can make bonus commissions by referring sub-affiliates to us. For each verified sale on our site that comes through your sub-affiliates' referrals, you will receive a 2% commission on the price for which the product was sold, excluding tax and shipping (your sub gets the 15% direct commission on their sale).
Q. What's a 'sub-affiliate'?
A. Sub-affiliates are people like you who are real estate professionals and want to generate ongoing income. You can refer them to us by giving us their email address. We will send them an email inviting them to apply for the Real Estate Informatics Affiliate Program. If they join, they are an affiliate in their own right -- but they're also your sub-affiliate!
Q. How much money can I make through the Real Estate Informatics Affiliate Program?
A. It's really up to you -- but we estimate that most affiliates will make between $75 and $300 per month in commissions. Affiliates who refer highly interested visitors to the website may see higher commissions.
Q. How and when do I get paid by the Real Estate Informatics Affiliate Program?
A. Commissions are paid by check on a quarterly basis. Commissions of $25 or greater will be paid quarterly. If an affiliate's total commissions are less than $25, then those commissions are rolled over into the next quarter. The tracking period for each quarter begins on the first day of the quarter and ends at midnight East Coast Time (U.S.) on the final day of the quarter. Real Estate Informatics, Inc. will perform order confirmation and commission calculations during the 15 days that follow the quarter's end. Commission checks are cut on the 15th day after the end of the previous month and are mailed at that time. If the 15th day falls on a Sunday, checks will be cut and mailed on the following Monday. So, you can expect to receive a check for the quarter's activity within three weeks of the quarter's end. In the event that a later return or chargeback occurs (after the 15-day waiting period), it will be deducted from a later pay cycle's commissions. The first quarter runs from January 1 through March 31, and so on.
Q. How do I track my commissions?
A. You will have access to your own independent affiliate member web page where you can track your cumulative commissions figures.
Q. How do I get started?
A. Take a look at the Real Estate Informatics website to learn a little bit about Real Estate Informatics and the very helpful products offered, such as the ROI Forecaster. Once you're familiar with what we're about, fill out an application.
