1. The basic idea of the Whitehatbox Affiliate System is similar to all other affiliate platforms: we give you an affiliate link, then you promote the link and your affiliate cookies will be saved in visitor’s browser. After the visitor buys the product, you will get commission.
2. However there are some big differences in the WhiteHatBox affiliate system, the differences make your promotion extremely easy and let you make much more money!
3. Usually when you want to promote a product, you just get its affiliate link, which will directly visit the sale page of the product. After people buy the product, you get the commission. Of course, the Whitehatbox Affiliate System can do this too. The different is that WhiteHatBox is not only an affiliate system, but it is also a community to discuss the use of software, publish software updates and release new software etc. You can also get an affiliate link for every page of the Whitehatbox website, then you can promote the page affiliate link. After people visit the page through your affiliate link, your cookies will be saved and you will receive commission if the visitor buys any Whitehatbox product later. (The cookies will be saved for 6 months).
4. All Whitehatbox products use the same affiliate system, so whatever page or product of the Whitehatbox site you promote, you will also get commission if people buy any other products.
5. The are many free softwares on the Whitehatbox platform, so you can just recommend the free softwares to your friends or to users by using your affiliate link, and then if they buy other paid softwares, you will get commission.
6. WhiteHatBox saves your details as the recommenders of the people you refer if he/she registers an account at Whitehatbox. You will receive significant benefits as a recommender, because every time the people you refer log in to Whitehatbox, your cookies' time duration will be extended to another 3 months ( normal page or product affiliate links just save your cookies for 6 months). So basically, if you are a recommender of someone, you will always get commission on whatever products he/she buys at Whitehatbox in the future.
7. There are some pages and free products at Whitehatbox, that need a Whitehatbox account in order to visit or use them, so if you promote those pages or products it will be easy for you to become recommenders, because people will have to download and install Whitehatbox in order to use them.
8. You can't be yourself affiliate, if you use yourself affiliate link to buy the software, will not get paid. And we only begin to pay the commission after you generate the second sale for same software (Once the second sale is generated, the first sale commission will be paid together and the future sales commission will be paid on time without any delay). We set this to avoid someone to buy software using himself's affiliate link, because a real affiliate will never only sell 1 copy.
