Affiliate Program
Assisted Living is one of the fastest growing elder care categories today. There are nearly 40,000 assisted living communities in the United States today – many housing hundreds of seniors. In fact, many studies show that 84% of Americans over 55 believe a friend or loved one will require elder care in the next ten years.
Assisted living impacts millions of families, and millions more consider it every year.
Why? Assisted living is a happy medium between independent living and more acute levels of care such as skilled nursing. Assisted living is designed to assist loved ones with activities of daily living. Managed correctly, assisted living can be a wonderful experience and foundation for years of memories. If you’ve read my story, you’ll know that assisted living played a life-saving role in my mother’s care.
Recent research from the Assisted Living Family Attitude and Preparedness Report indicates the overwhelming majority of families are concerned about making the right assisted living decision and feel completely unprepared.
Inside Assisted Living was created to address this gap and provides educational products to families considering assisted living, as well as medical and elder care professionals. Seen on MSNBC and CBS Marketwatch, The By Families, For Families Guide to Assisted Living is a unique collection of books fundamentally designed to make assisted living a positive experience for families and their loved ones.
What is the Affiliate Promoter’s Program?
The decision to evaluate assisted living is a local and personal choice. Seniors are introduced to assisted living through friends, family, doctors, clergy and local senior centers. The only way to ensure seniors have access to benefits of The By Families, For Families Guide to Assisted Living is to work locally with advocates that know their community.
The Affiliate Promoter’s Program financially rewards those individuals, websites and non-profit organizations who help spread the word by promoting The By Families, For Families Guide to Assisted Living book. You know your community and/or your website visitors far better than I ever could.
The program consists of two commission opportunities:
- Tier-1 Commission. Tier-1 commission is paid on any purchase made when someone clicks on or types in your link and purchases a book. Tier-1 commission is based on the purchase price and is paid on all net sales (sales less returns). 25% is paid on all paperback products and 50% is paid on all e-book products.
- Tier-2 Commission. You qualify for another level of commission by referring other individuals, websites or non-profits. This is called Tier-2 commission. Tier-2 commission is paid on any purchase made through an Affiliate Promoter you referred. You “refer” them when they register for the program after click on or typing in your link from the flyer. Tier-2 commission is 10% of the purchase price and is paid on all net sales (sales less returns) by Affiliate Promoters that you have referred. For example, you may be active in local charities and want to offer them a chance to make 25% or 50% Tier-1 commission in the form of a donation. They promote the book to their constituents and receive their 25% or 50% Tier-1 commission on all net sales. Because you have referred them to the program, you also get 10% of any sales they make. Referring additional Affiliate Promoters is a great way to extend your reach and generate income from groups you would not have otherwise reached.
There is no limit to the amount of Tier-1 or Tier-2 commission that can be earned during any period.
Where Do You Introduce the Book?
From an online perspective, the book and website make the perfect addition to blogs, newsletters, directories and review sites that focus on elder care, senior living, Baby Boomers, financial planning, retirement planning or healthcare. Websites that offer medical equipment and Medicare insurance plans or resources also make for a good fit.
From an offline perspective, medical offices, hospitals (case managers and discharge planners), assisted living communities, skilled nursing facilities and senior centers are outlets that would find our products useful. Colleges and universities that offer geriatric studies programs would find the book useful as part of their curriculum.
