Okay I updated my terms of service to what I believe to be affiliate friendly. The payments are still NET 30, and I think I will keep it that way until I get a better feel for things. I understand that weekly payments may give me a better shot at growing this thing quickly, but it’s not worth the risk. Right now this is a lifestyle business that is paying the bills, and it’s important to me to have a conservative approach and guarantee myself that I can keep paying the bills. If that means slower growth in the beginning, so be it.
I also updated the look of the page so hopefully it’s now easier to follow. But I’m sure there is still a long way to go.
On to the point of the post: I added one term/condition that I think is perfectly fair, but wanted to run it by you guys. On the page I list the 4 products that we sell. Then at the bottom I say this:
No Guaranteed Commission on Non-Listed Products or Services
The above products and services are the only products and services officially for sale through Line.com. However, it could feasibly happen that we sell something that is not on that list to someone. For example, somebody may purchase a text link from us or we may get hired to do web development work for someone. These purchase are not eligible for guaranteed commission, but we will compensate you whatever we feel is a fair value just to say thanks for your referral. Why? Because, taking the web development scenario as a perfect example, there are some products and services that will never come close to having a 50% profit margin.
Is that fair? Can I exclude products/services from commission?
