Earning Opportunities - 50% Commission
You can earn money by promoting The Handy Foraging Guide and Hedgerow Herbal (and the new version for North America) through your website, social media profile page, newsletter or even email to friends. You will receive 50% of the selling price of the downloadable guide. The process is very straight forward. Sign up for an account at
e-junkie.com , the website which automates the download and billing process, and then become an affiliate by clicking on
this link and follow instructions (you need to be logged in).
When you join the program on e-junkie, you can then choose the product to promote, and the type of link you want to use. You will be given a piece of code (a link with your affiliate ID number) which you paste into your web page or email, then write some text of your choice recommending the guide. The extent to which you want to promote it is up to you, but the more prominent you feature it, the better your chance of making a sale.
If you choose the hop link (recommended) your visitors/email recipient will be sent to my sales page (which describes the guide in more detail - see first link above), and from there they will click through to the download at e-junkie via Pay Pal's secure site.
For the purpose of promotion, you may use any images and excerpts of text related to the guide and foraging on this site. To save images to your computer right-click the image and then click "save image as". If you have a website and wish to promote and sell the guide directly from your site you can choose the direct link which gives you full control over the promotion, as the buyer is not sent to my website. However, if you have a website you may still use the hop link and just add a recommendation on your site but send the visitor to my sales page for the details and the sales link (the commission will still be sent to you).
The link with affiliate ID causes a cookie to be placed on your visitor's computer (perfectly safe) which is valid for 6 months, as long as they do not clear their cookies. Any sales
resulting within that period will identify you as the affiliate, i.e. this is not just a one-session cookie.
You will be sent an email by e-junkie for each sale originating from your affiliate link. Each month's earnings will be paid via Pay Pal within 15 days after the end of the month.
The foraging guide is currently the only eligible product for a sales commission. Items in the shop area - e.g. art and second hand goods are not eligible. Future physical products (a planned printed foraging guide) will be eligible under different terms.
Although it is not essential to notify me about joining the affiliation program, I would be happy if you do, so that we may work together for increased sales. Any feedback will greatly help in fine-tuning the sales process. I will also create a private area for affiliates with updates on useful information, and special promotions and news. Please also send me a link of your site. Particularly suitable sites may qualify for additional promotional material.
- Categories of websites which are particularly suited to selling the guide:
- wild food
- survival and bushcraft
- Permaculture
- self-reliant living
- food
- future proofing (e.g. peak oil)
- gardening
- hiking and camping
- outdoor activity in general
- and many more
