- How does it work?
You simply fill out our quick and easy online form to instantly and automatically become a myGoals.com affiliate. Then we'll then provide you with HTML links that you can embed anywhere in your site or newsletter. You can point people to either our homepage, our goal-setting tips, or any premade Goalplan accessible from the public (non-logged-in) portion of our site. When someone clicks on your myGoals.com affiliate link and subscribes, you'll earn $1.00 when their 10-day trial period ends and their monthly service fee begins (when they become a paying subscriber). You'll continue to earn $1.00 each and every month that they remain a myGoals.com user—forever. Furthermore, if someone clicks on your affiliate link and signs up as an affiliate, you'll earn $.50 for every new paying subscriber they refer to myGoals.com.
- Who qualifies?
Our affiliate program was designed to provide anyone who has access to the Web the opportunity to earn a recurring commission for promoting myGoals.com. That said, we expect our most successful affiliates to be individuals and entities who have a Web site with substantial traffic and/or visitors, Webmasters with great influence on their visitors (like Webloggers); moderators of a chat room, message board, or mailing list; or anyone who writes for or publishes an online newsletter. Learn more about who should join.
- Why should I join?
First, providing a link to myGoals.com gives your Web site, newsletter, or mailing list audience access to powerful tools that help them set, manage and reach any goal. Chances are that the people who visit your site or read your newsletter or mailing list are devoted to a particular topic and have goals related to that topic. Or, your audience might comprise of people who are considered goal-oriented, such as professionals, students, seniors, athletes, or investors. The bottom line: Goal-setting relates to just about every topic, from careers, finance, and parenting, to adventure travel, cooking, and model rocketry. Students set goals. Retired people set goals. Everybody sets goals! And people set goals about everything!
Second, myGoals.com's affiliate program is one of the few programs that pays its affiliates a recurring commission on a monthly basis for the subscription-life of the user. That means that as long as the myGoals.com user you referred to us remains a member, you'll get paid. In addition, when someone signs up as an affiliate after clicking on your affiliate link, you'll receive a recurring commission for every subscriber they refer.
- Do I have to have a myGoals.com account to join?
Nope. That said, we're firm believers that in order to promote a product or service effectively, you should have first-hand experience using it.
- I don't have a Web site. Can I still join?
Absolutely. We provide our affiliates with links that display either graphical images (i.e., banners) or text and can be used in Web sites or in newsletters, mailing list, and more. Learn more about placing links in newsletters or mailing lists.
- How Do I Join?
It's easy and takes about two minutes. Simply fill out our a quick and easy online form to instantly and automatically become a myGoals.com affiliate. Then we'll then provide you with HTML links that you can embed anywhere in your site or newsletter.
- How Much Does it Cost to Join?
Nothing. (It's an affiliate program, not a country club.)
- How do I earn commissions?
You use your special affiliate links to point people to either our homepage, our goal-setting tips, or any premade Goalplan accessible from the public (non-logged-in) portion of our site. When someone clicks on your myGoals.com affiliate link and subscribes, you earn a commission when their 10-day trial period ends and their monthly service fee begins (when they become a paying subscriber). You'll continue to earn your commission every month until the person you referred to us closes their myGoals.com account. Also, if someone signs up as an affiliate after clicking on your affiliate link, you get paid every time they get paid.
- How much do I get paid?
You earn $1.00 when the 10-day trial period ends for someone you referred to myGoals.com and their monthly service fee begins (when they become a paying subscriber). You'll continue for earn $1.00 each and every month that they remain a myGoals.com user—forever. Furthermore, if someone clicks on your affiliate link and signs up as an affiliate, you'll earn $.50 for every new "paying subscriber" they refer to myGoals.com.
- When do I get paid?
At the end of every quarter, we'll calculate your commissions and if you've earned at least $25, we'll send you a check. If you've earned less than $25, we'll roll your commissions over to the next quarter.
Example 1: Jane sends 30 people to myGoals.com in January and 20 of them register. By March, 15 people stay subscribed to myGoals.com. So, at the end of March, Jane earns $15. Since her earnings are less than $25, the $15 is rolled into her next quarter earnings. Jane only needs to earn $10 during the next quarter to get a check.
Example 2: (sub-affiliate) Jake sends 50 people to myGoals.com in January and 30 of them register. Furthermore, 40 people click on Jake's affiliate link and sign up as affiliates at myGoals.com, becoming Jake's sub-affiliates. By March 30, 25 of the people Jake sent stay subscribed to myGoals.com and 10 of the people sent by his sub-affiliates stay subscribed as well. So, in April, Jake earns $35 and receives a check for his 1st Quarter earnings.
- How do I know when someone becomes a "paying subscriber"?
Someone becomes a "paying subscriber" after their 10-day free trial begins and they're charged $5.95 for their first month of myGoals.com service. For example: Jacq registers at myGoals.com on May 1st. She decides she likes myGoals.com and uses it to set and manage some goals. On June 2, after Jacq has exceed her 10-day free trial, Jacq's credit card is charged for the next month's fee ($5.95). She is now a "paying subscriber." (If a user registers but cancels before his or her 10-day trial period ends, they never become a "paying subscriber.")
When someone you referred to myGoals.com becomes a paying subscriber, your commission for the "sale" will be reflected in your real-time affiliate report.

- What happens if someone I referred unsubscribes?
If someone you referred to us closes their myGoals.com (i.e., unsubscribes), we'll stop billing them, which means you'll stop receiving your commission for them. Because users are billed month-to-month based on when they registered, if John registered on August 2 and the last time he was billed was May 3, if he closes his account on May 5th, you'll still receive your commission for May.

After your account has been created, we'll provide you with the HTML you need to paste anywhere on your Web site.

Later, you can log into your personalized affiliate management tool to quickly and easily create text links or choose alternate banners of different sizes and/or goal-setting topics.
- How do I link to a pre-made Goalplan?
- Browse the myGoals.com site to find the pre-made Goalplan you want to link to. Write down (or copy) the Goalplan's Template ID. The Template ID can be found in your browser's Address field.
Example: For the Goalplan "To Write and Sell a Screenplay", the Template ID is "124".
- Add your affiliate ID and the pre-made Goalplan ID where indicated in the affiliate link.
Example:
If your affiliate ID is "1005" and you're linking to the "To Write and Sell a Screenplay" pre-made Goalplan, then
customize this: <A href="http://www.myaffiliateprogram.com/u/mygoals/b.asp?id=ID_HERE&p=pub-viewGP.jsp?goalPlanTemplateId=###">
