General
What is
an Affiliate Program?
Quite simply, an Affiliate Program is a
partnership with an online merchant who compensates you for
any sales you send that merchant via links on your site. An
Affiliate Program is thus an easy way to earn money off traffic
to your site. Your earning potential is not only limited to
sales - you can also refer other affiliates like yourself!
We will pay you a percentage of all the sales that you refer.
This means you can utilize your knowledge of both audiences
to maximize your earning potential. Each time you introduce
another Webmaster to the program, that Webmaster begins to
market on your behalf, and in doing so increases
your earning potential!

How does an Affiliate Program work?
Traffic passes through your website anyway,
right? Well, what an Affiliate Program does is harness that
traffic to help you earn additional income. The way this works
is simple: when a visitor to your site clicks on the link
you have provided, that visitor will go to the merchant site.
Once there, if the visitor does a transaction on the merchant
site, you earn a percentage in the form of commission. This
makes it easy for you to earn money from the traffic to your
website!

How much effort is required from
me?
Just like any business venture the more
time you put in, the more you get in return. Golf Budy
has all types of affiliates - some give it an hour per week,
others give it an hour per day, and other make it their full-time
job. Affiliate earnings range from $50 to $50,000 per month,
and are usually directly correlated with the amount of time
spent by the affiliate. We provide all the tools for you in
our easy-to-use website - the choice is yours as to how much
you want to earn!

I want to promote more merchants,
do I need to signup again?
You can promote as many merchants as you
like. Upon setup of your affiliate account, you need to create
at least one campaign. After you finished registration, the
system will provide you with the full HTML code for banners
and a direct tracking code for e.g. emails or your own creative.
You can repeat this process as many times
as you like, in fact, we encourage you to set up more merchants
as it will be more likely you send a player to one of them.
Go to "banners and copy" and
select "create campaign" Fill out the campaign details,
select the merchant from the drop down menu and select your
commission structure, follow the steps and select your banner(s)
and don't forget to finalize.
If you have any problems, let us know at Contact us

My clicks and impressions are not
showing Am I doing anything wrong?
Possibly, Please note that the system provides you with two
pieces of coding. A direct link, and the full html code provided
when you selected a banner. The direct code does not provide
any clicks and impressions, only the banner code can do that.

"I want to change my Email
address but the system won't allow me, what do I do?
It is a security feature that prevents
you from changing your email address. (it is your login ID
as well) Please keep us up to date of any changes and email:
Your old and new email address, and affiliate number to Contact us and we will make the change for you.

Do I need a website to promote
your merchants?
In fact, you don't need a website to promote
the merchants, but it would help. In order for us to track
the players you sent to the merchants, you need to make sure
that the players mention the 5 digit tracking code when they
phone in to signup an account. You will get this code when
you setup a campaign in the Golf Budy system. Without this
code it is not possible to track who you referred and pay
you your commission.

the 8th day of each month. Payments will be received according
to payment type and statements will be sent on the 8th –10th
day of each month. Please note that we are paying you on the
8th of each month to make sure all the sporting events are

How do I see how much I have earned?
You can log into your account at the Golf Budy website and check your stats 24 hours a per day, 7
days a week, 365 days per year. We are always a phone call
away if you have any questions. Please note that it might
take till the next day before a new signup show in your account.
[ Back to Top ]
Do negatives carry over?
Yes, negative balances will carry over.
Our merchants are mainly sportsbooks and it would be simply
impossible to wipe out negatives at the end of each month.
Please note that a sports bettor is very different from a
casino player. The average value of a player is much higher
and therefore you will have a good chance to earn back any
potential losses.

What is Residual Income?
Residual Income is what you can build by
partnering with Golf Budy. If you choose to be compensated
by earning a percentage of the money spent by the players
that you refer, you will receive paychecks for as long as
those players are active with our merchants. The more players
you send, the more Residual Income you receive each and every
month!
