There are a few “must-dos” as part of the CCA affiliate program—both legal ones and expectations we hold ourselves to, ensuring we meet the high standard our students have come to expect of the CCA.
Payment
All payouts are “pending” for the first 30 days to accommodate our 30-day conditional guarantee. After that, all payouts will be processed on the 28th of each month and will be paid out via PayPal.
Please note: We’ll pay out affiliate commissions for CCA membership purchases, package purchases, and even our ebook, but one-on-one coaching purchases are NOT included in the affiliate program.
We will not pay out affiliate payments for installment payments we do not receive. For example, if a student defaults on a payment plan (perhaps their credit card was declined over multiple attempts and will not return our communications) and we do not receive a payment, we will not pay out affiliate fees for the student payments that were not made.
Any referrals MUST come through your affiliate link; we do not accept “email referrals” (“Hey, I referred so-and-so; please give me a commission.”) If your referrals do not click on your affiliate link, you will not receive a commission.
Income Guarantees
You cannot make any income guarantees, and you cannot make any guarantees at all on behalf of Filthy Rich Writer, Nicki, or the Comprehensive Copywriting Academy.
Affiliate Disclosure
You need to have an affiliate disclosure statement to clearly disclose that your link is an affiliate link. This statement needs to be easily visible when your site visitor sees your affiliate link. (So, on the same page and not in a super-tiny size.) You can use something like this: This site contains affiliate links to products. I may receive a commission for purchases made through these links.
Here’s a bit more information and some other disclosure examples: https://justinegrey.com/affiliate-disclosure
Cost of the CCA
The cost of the CCA is dependent on when a student joins within their enrollment cycle and what payment plan they choose.
Do not put the cost of the CCA on your review page. If you are comparing different programs, use dollar signs to show which ones are more/less expensive. For example: CCA $$ Competitive Course $$$
Other Content on Your Page
We reserve the right to deactivate your affiliate account and deny commissions earned if we determine you have been misusing your affiliate link in any way or promoting Filthy Rich Writer or the Comprehensive Copywriting Academy in a false or misleading way.
We reserve the right to remove affiliates if we review your site and deem it “spammy.” Additionally, any content that is within the CCA program (material you see once you’re logged into the course) cannot be shared without written consent. You can email us at [email protected] if there’s something specific you want to share or have a question about.
Inactivity
We may not do it, but we do reserve the right to delete your affiliate account if your link has been inactive for more than six months (no clicks) or if you have not referred any sales within your first year as an affiliate.
