The Measured Mom Affiliate Program

Thank you so much for your interest in being an affiliate for The Measured Mom ®!

Are these statements true of you and your blog?

• You blog about early learning for preschool through early elementary.
• Homeschoolers and/or teachers are a large part of your audience.

If so, we’re a great match!

The Measured Mom® Affiliate Program

I sell my products through a shop on my blog called The Measured Mom® Shop.  When you are accepted as an affiliate, you will have access to The Measured Mom® Affiliate Platform, where can monitor your earnings, generate custom links, and get ad banners.

You will direct your readers to my shop (or any product or post) using your affiliate link.  When you direct your readers to the shop, they will see a variety of products at once, which often leads to more than one sale.

Because of the complicated nature of international tax laws, The Measured Mom® Shop will be open to all buyers except those in the European Union.  People in the EU can purchase on my TPT store. If you are ever promoting a specific coupon to your customers and one of them is from the EU and wants to use it, they can email me directly so I can change the price on TPT for them.

Affiliate Terms & Conditions

By signing up as an affiliate, you acknowledge and agree to the following.

1. As an affiliate you will earn 50% of all sales income you generate at The Measured Mom® Shop, minus Paypal’s fees.  You may not market the products at any price except those authorized by me. 

2. Affiliate payments are paid monthly in arrears.  For example, in the first week of June 2015 you would receive all income you generated from May 1-31, 2015.  You will receive payments when your sales exceed $25. If you ever decide to leave the program, you will receive any payment that is withstanding, even if it is under $25.

3. All payments are made via PayPal.  PayPal’s fees for affiliate payments are payable by you, not by The Measured Mom®.

4. I will provide you with ad banners and other marketing material to help you maximize your sales.  You can access these via the “Ads” section on The Measured Mom ® Affiliate Platform.  I will also handle any questions or downloading concerns, so that you don’t have to. (Update: I haven’t been able to create new sales banners lately. I’m not sure when I’ll be able to do that… :).

5. You will pay taxes on your earnings.  The current law states that Paypal will issue a 1099 only if your earnings exceed $20,000.  However, you are still responsible for keeping track of your earnings and paying the taxes you owe.

6. You will receive free downloads for all store products, with the understanding that you will not e-mail or share them. Nor will you sell them apart from The Measured Mom® Affiliate Program. Please contact me for the code to get free downloads.

How to Become an Affiliate

1. Read everything on this page and make sure you are happy with all the terms.

2. Contact me at anna(at)themeasuredmom(dot)com.   Introduce yourself and your blog.  I will check to see that your site is a good match and give you the affiliate link to sign up.

I reserve the right to decline an application to become an affiliate.  If I change the price of the products or the affiliate rate, all affiliates will be notified.

How to maximize your affiliate sales

1. Use my products with your own children or students and blog about them naturally.  

2. Look at your most popular posts.  Can you link to one of my products in a way that makes sense?   For example, do you have posts that relate to nursery rhymes?  Put an ad banner for my Little Letter Books. A  post about teaching the alphabet to preschoolers?  Link to my ABC books with photographs. And if you’re teaching kids to sound out words – you have a lot to choose from.

3.  Write a blog post about one or more of my printables and promote it on your social channels and in your newsletter.

4. Regularly feature my products in your newsletter.  You can copy and paste the Ad Banners from the The Measured Mom ® Affiliate Platform right into Mad Mimi, and your affiliate link will be embedded. (I assume this works just as well with other newsletter providers.)

5. Do you link to my blog often?  Start generating custom links even for posts that are not related to products. If the reader hops over to my site, looks around, and purchases, you’ve made a sale!

6. Regularly share my products on Facebook and other social media, varying the image you use so you are not spamming your followers.  While affiliate links are no longer welcome on Pinterest, you can write a blog post with a variety of images and share a different image each time.

Images for Affiliates

You may use any of the ad banners in The Measured Mom® Affiliate Platform, or create your own. You may use any images from my blog to promote the products, but please do not use any images from the products themselves without permission.

If you would like additional sizes or a particular style of ad banner, please let me know so I can create one for you.
