What is the Initforlife Affiliate Program?
The Initforlife Affiliate Program is a legal agreement between you and Performance Support Systems, Inc. You make money when the visitors you send to our site register and make a purchase. We pay you a commission on every purchase they make—FOR LIFE!

Who can join?
The Initforlife Affiliate Program is open to anyone 18 years or older who speaks English and is willing to abide by the terms of our Affiliate Agreement. Once you become an affiliate, you’ll have the opportunity to promote MindFrames products on your site or offline and receive lifetime commissions when visitors make purchases on our site. It costs NOTHING to join.

I don’t have a website. Can I become an affiliate anyway?
Yes! You don't need a website to become an Initforlife affiliate. If you don't have a website, you can simply give people our website address and your Affiliate Code.

How can I promote MindFrames products offline?
Yes! You can promote MindFrames products by giving your Affiliate Code or your URL to as many people as possible through emails, word of mouth or print ads. If they log on directly to Initforlife.com, simply ask them to enter your Affiliate Code when they register. After that, any time they make a purchase, you’ll receive a commission and they’ll receive 10% off the retail price for every product in our store—as long as they are registered users on Initforlife.com.

If I'm an affiliate, can I get the 10% discount?
Yes! Anyone who becomes a registered MindFrames user through one of our affiliates is entitled to the 10% discount. If your discount isn’t displayed in green in your “My Settings” page in the My Preferences area, do one of the following:

1. The next time you want to purchase a MindFrames product, simply click on one of the MindFrames ads you placed on your website. When you make your purchase, you will receive the 10% discount.

2. Log in as a registered user on Initforlife.com, go to the “My Settings” page in the My Preferences area, and enter your own Affiliate Code in the last entry box.

Either way, you’ll be set up to receive a permanent 10% discount AND you’ll earn a 25% commission on all your MindFrames purchases—for as long as you’re an affiliate. If you ever terminate your Affiliate Agreement, you’ll still receive the 10% discount on all your purchases.

I have more than one website. Do I have to have different affiliate accounts for each one?
No. You can join with just one account and create links for all your sites. We’ll give you what you need to customize all of your marketing campaigns—from banner graphics to promotional copy.

Can a website outside the United States be an affiliate?
Yes, as long as it’s an English-language site and accepts commission payments in US dollars.

What does it cost to join?
It’s FREE. Approval is INSTANT, with no hidden charges. You can begin making money as early as TODAY!

How do I get started?
It’s easy. Just fill out the Online Application and you’re on your way! Once you submit your application, you’ll immediatly receive a Welcome email. Then you can access the Affiliates Information Center and begin inserting links, banner ads and other product descriptions on your website. Everything is provided. You’ll get all the details once you’re enrolled. You can start earning money immediately!

How do I incorporate the program into my website?
It’s very simple! Just add any of our Banner Ads to your site. When people click on the ad, they’re immediately directed to Initforlife.com, with a special code that lets us know they came from your site. We recommend that you display our ads prominently. The more visitors you send to us, the more sales you’ll make—and that means a larger check for you!

How do visitors to my website make MindFrames purchases?
Your visitors will find out about Initforlife.com through the promotional content you put on your site. When they click on the link or banner ad, they are shown the Initforlife page for the product you’ve promoted. When promoting MindFrames products offline, you give people the URL for your site (if you have one) or for Initforlife.com and instruct them to enter your Affiliate Code when they register to take the questionnaire. Customers order online on our site and pay with credit card. We handle all purchases. Our service representatives handle any questions or requests they have about their orders.

How are orders tracked and credited to my account?
Once you sign up as an affiliate, we’ll immediately begin tracking the visitors you send to our site through our affiliate management system. Each time a visitor comes to our site and makes a purchase, that sale and all future purchases made by that customer will be credited to you.

Can I send unsolicited email (also known as bulk email or SPAM) to promote your products?
ABSOLUTELY NOT! If you do this, you will be in violation of our Affiliate Agreement and your account will be automatically terminated and all commissions due to you will be forfeited. You may also be subject to legal action.

Can I put your ads and links on ANY type of website?
No. Although approval is instant, we have specific criteria about what types of websites can be linked to ours. Our Affiliate Program Manager checks the websites of new affiliates. If we find that your website contains any material that may be considered to be harassing, libelous, defamatory, legally obscene or pornographic, threatening, abusive or hateful, your account will be automatically terminated and all commissions due to you will be forfeited.

Do I have to meet a sales quota?
No, but we do want affiliates to actively market our products. Therefore, if you have no sales during any 12 consecutive months, you will no longer be an Initforlife.com affiliate.

How much money can I earn?
It’s up to you! Your commission check is based on two factors. For all purchases that come through your site or Affiliate Code, you’ll receive 25% of the sale price. When someone clicks through your site to ours (or enters your Affiliate Code) and signs up to be an affiliate, they become your sub-affiliate. You’ll receive 5% on all purchases made by customers who come to Initforlife through your sub-affiliates.

Here are two examples. One affiliate speaks at two events, describing MindFrames and encouraging the audience to use his Affiliate Code for a 10% discount. He also places a brief article in a monthly newsletter, mentioning MindFrames. These efforts, combined with clicks from his site, result in 715 reports sold, for a total of $6,828 in sales. His monthly commission (25% of sales) is $1,707. Another affiliate takes the approach of signing up sub-affiliates. In one month her 27 sub-affiliates have sales totaling $36,400. Her commission (5% of their sales) is $1,820. How much you actually earn depends on your efforts to tell people about MindFrames.

How do I get paid?
All commission payments are made by check in U.S. dollars.

When do I get paid?
Each month in which you have more than $50 in commissions due, we’ll send you a check by the 20th of the following month (e.g., you’ll be paid by June 20th for May sales). Any credits made to your customers will be deducted from the total amount due.

How can I check my sales?
Our affiliate management program is REAL TIME, which means you have access to your account 24 hours a day, you can check it as often as you like and it's always up-to-date. You’ll be able to view earnings from your site and from your sub-affiliates, actual commission payments, account history—and more!

What is my income tax liability?
Your relationship with Initforlife.com is “independent contractor,” so we don’t withhold income tax. We are required by law to file a form with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for every affiliate who has received $600 or more in commissions during a calendar year. You’re responsible for your own declarations of income to the IRS.

Who do I contact if I have questions about my account?
Send an email to Meredith Bell: affiliates@initforlife.com. Our office hours are 8:00 am to 5:00 pm ET Monday – Friday except holidays.

What different methods of sales should I use to promote your products?
For starters, make sure you put our banner ads or text links on your website. We strongly recommend that you put them on your home page because that's where they’ll get the most exposure, which is what generates traffic, sales and commissions. Test different ads to see which ones work best. In addition, communication in all types of media can be effective. Be creative! The key is to bring this information to as many people as possible. Your personal recommendation will boost traffic, sales and commissions. You’ll want to personally experience MindFrames and sample the reports. When you know the value of our products first-hand, your recommendation will be sincere and on target.
