Section 8 Investing Affiliate Program

Welcome to the Section 8 Investing Affiliate Program! This document outlines the terms, conditions, and guidelines that govern your participation in our affiliate program. By joining our program, you agree to adhere to these terms and promote our investing education and software products with integrity and transparency.

Once approved as an affiliate, you'll receive a unique tracking link that identifies referrals made from your promotional efforts. When someone clicks on your link and makes a qualifying purchase of our investing education courses or software, you'll earn a 40% commission on that sale.

Key points about our tracking system:

• Cookies are set for 90 days from the initial click
• Commission payments are processed monthly for all sales that have passed our 30-day refund period
• You can track your referrals, conversions, and earnings through our affiliate dashboard

Acceptable Promotion Methods:

• Personal websites, blogs, and social media accounts
• Email newsletters to your own subscriber list
• Content marketing featuring honest reviews and educational content

• Spam email, unsolicited messaging, or any form of deceptive marketing
• Bidding on branded keywords in paid advertising campaigns
• Creating fake reviews or testimonials
• Using misleading headlines or clickbait tactics
• Promoting our products on sites containing adult, illegal, or offensive content

To maintain the integrity of our affiliate program, the following restrictions apply:

• Self-referrals are strictly prohibited. You may not use your own affiliate link to purchase Section 8 Investing products for yourself.
• Household restrictions apply. Your affiliate link cannot be used by family members or others residing at the same physical address as you.
• Attempting to circumvent these restrictions through multiple accounts, VPNs, or other methods is grounds for immediate program termination and forfeiture of all commissions.

These restrictions ensure our affiliate program rewards genuine referrals and maintains its financial viability.

As an affiliate, you must comply with all Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines regarding endorsements and disclosures:

• Clearly disclose your affiliate relationship with Section 8 Investing on any page, post, or video where our affiliate links appear
• Place disclosures where they are easily visible, before any affiliate links
• Use clear, unambiguous language (e.g., "I earn a commission if you purchase through these links")
• Never hide, obscure, or minimize required disclosures

Sample disclosure language: "This post contains affiliate links for Section 8 Investing. If you purchase through these links, I earn a 40% commission at no additional cost to you."

Commission Structure:

• 40% commission on all qualifying product sales
• Commissions are calculated based on the final sale price after any discounts or coupons
• Commissions are not paid on refunded purchases or chargebacks
• If a customer uses multiple affiliate links before purchasing, only the last affiliate receives the commission

Payment Terms:

• Payments are processed on the 1st of each month for the previous month's approved commissions
• Available payment methods: PayPal or bank transfer
• Commissions are held for 30 days after the sale to account for potential refunds

As an affiliate, you may use Section 8 Investing logos, product images, and approved marketing materials available in our affiliate dashboard. However, you must adhere to these guidelines:
