What do I need to become a LifeChecks

All you need is a web site that is up and running.
Are all persons/companies eligible to

We do not accept affiliates whose sites promote SPAM as outlined
in our terms & conditions. Your site should:
- Generate sufficient traffic to our website(s)
- Attract a customer base that may be interested in our products
- Not promote violence
- Not promote pornographic material
- Not promote discrimination based on race, gender, religion,
nationality, disability, sexual orientation, or age

Can anyone from any country sign up
as an affiliate? Or is this limited to US residents only?
The affiliate program is open to residents of all countries and is not limited to US residents only. However, only products specifically available for the US market are offered on our sites. Payments will be made in US dollars.
When and what commission will I be
paid?
Signing up with our Affiliate Program could mean that you earn up
to 25% of each sale generated via your website.
Commission Sales ($) Generated by Affiliate/Quarter
15% of sale (minus tax & shipping) Up to $500 in sales
20% of sale (minus tax & shipping) $501 – $3000 in sales
25% of sale (minus tax & shipping) More than $3000 in sales
5% of any second tier sale will be paid to affiliates for any
sale that the affiliate has recruited to this Affiliate Program.
Affiliates with a commission of $75 or higher are paid on a quarterly
basis. Any commissions totaling less than $75 will be carried over
to the next quarter and paid at the quarter's end if total commissions
generated are $75 or over.
How much money can I expect
to earn by promoting your affiliate program?
It is difficult for us to give a definitive answer.
It ultimately depends on what extent you are successful
in promoting Lifechecks.com. The more work put in, the
more money you can expect to earn. It also depends on
the quantity of traffic your site enjoys, if you produce
a newsletter, how many subscribers your newsletter has
and how extensively you promote our products.
Lifechecks.com offers higher commission rates than our
competitors, so if you are willing to put in the work
necessary to be a successful affiliate, you can expect
a substantial increase in your income.

What is a 2nd Tier Sale?
When you are a LifeChecks Affiliate you have access
to a personal administration page. On this page there
is the option to e-mail your contacts that have web
sites that you believe would be a good fit for the Lifechecks
program. If any of these contacts are accepted onto
the program you are credited for each sale that their
site generates with an additional commission rate of
5%. So, the more 2nd tier affiliates you have, the more
commission you're eligible to receive!

How are we tracking your
sales?
When a potential customer clicks on the Lifechecks.com
banner, text or link located on your site, they will
be directed to the Lifechecks.com homepage. The affiliate
software will set a cookie with your affiliate ID number
within the customer’s browser, set at 60 days.
Once this cookie has been placed, it cannot be overwritten
by another LifeChecks affiliate cookie if a customer
happens to click through from another site within the
60-day period.
When customers make a purchase, you will automatically
be credited with the sale and your commissions will
be updated. You can view your account activity at any
time via a password-protected area on our affiliate
program tracking site.

Why has your commission
total dropped today from what it was yesterday?
This is because at least once a month we receive information
on the number of cancelled orders placed via Lifechecks.com.
When an order is placed via your web site, and this
order is later cancelled, we will need to charge back
the amount of commission you had initially been credited
for on this order. The sale was not completed, and therefore,
we cannot award your site with commission on a cancelled
order.
Why would a customer
cancel their order?
There are several reasons for this, a customer may change
their mind about the order placed, but usually the reason
for the cancellation of an order is due to security
procedures.
When orders are taken over the web by LifeChecks,
AVS - Address Verification is performed. For security
reasons, LifeChecks cannot produce an order if the
personalization, shipping and billing addresses don't
match. When they receive an order that fails AVS they
attempt to verify ownership of the account by checking
their database for previous orders and calling the bank
for verification. If still unable to verify, the customer
is contacted and asked to provide proof of ownership.
A high number of customers never respond to this request,
and if proof is not received within a period of 20 days
the order is cancelled. LifeChecks cannot afford to
allow fraudulent orders to be processed.
Cancelled orders affect an affiliate's commission total
as any cancelled order will show up on the affiliate's
account as having been charged back. (See above for
further information on charge backs)
How do I create links to LifeChecks?
We provide you with banners, text links and other creatives, to place on your website or in your e-mail messages and newsletters that link back to Lifechecks.com. Affiliates may choose an image specific to their site, or choose several images to display. The link can point to any page on the LifeChecks site.
