Below is a list of what do you do after signing up to join the Sensual Dance Affiliate program.
Placing Banners and Getting Started
Click on login under Affiliates on the sensual dance websiite. Enter your ID code and your personal password, which youve already determined when you signed up. From there you will be able to check status of your accounts as well as get to the Training Center where you can learn about maximizing your money-making potential with this affiliate program. The Training Center will answer many questions for you and for your convenience weve also noted how to place links and banners on your site here. If you have any questions at all, please contact affilate@selfappeal.com.
For your convenience we've created this page to also help with this procedure.
Getting Started - Where to Place Links
Your main objective as an Affiliate is to send traffic to your merchant.
Once the visitors get to the merchant's site, the merchant takes over. It's up to you to "pre-sell" the visitor on what they will see, and what you'd like them to do once they get to the merchant's site (like Buy or Sign up).
You'll be sending traffic using your Affiliate-ID encoded links. These links can be placed virtually anywhere you can think of! This includes:
* On your site
* In your email messages
* In your online advertising efforts like ezine ads and newsgroup postings
* In your offline advertising efforts
On your administration page, you should see a banner code, text link and/or a link to your own self-replicated page. These links are encoded with your unique ID number. All you need to do is copy them from your administration page and paste them wherever you'd like to use them.
All banners and images must be placed on a website or in an email message formatted in HTML. Text links, on the other hand, can be placed anywhere online or offline.
Adding Banners and Links to your Website
If you have a website and you'd like to add banners and links to it, you'll need to do some editing. You have two options in editing: Hire a Pro or Do it Yourself.
Hire a Pro
You can hire a web design company to edit your webpages for you. If you're currently working with a web designer, this may be a viable option for you. However, if you're trying to go-it on your own, hiring a web designer to make a few small changes can be very costly.
Do-It Yourself
Doing it yourself is a great way to learn and to save money. If you already have a website, all you have to do is access it, edit it and upload the changes.
First, gain access to your webpages. You'll do this either by using a program like WSFTP to login to your site - or by using a web-based program that allows you to access and make changes to your pages.
If you're using a program like WSFTP to download your pages onto your hard drive, you can open them in Notepad, or in a web-editor like Dreamweaver, Homesite or FrontPage.
All of these programs will give you two "views". One will show you what the page will look like when you upload it - complete with colors and formatting. If you've heard of the term WYSIWYG (wiss-ee-wig), it comes from this "view" and is an acronym that simply stands for What You See Is What You Get. The other "view" will show you the HTML coding.
Using the WYSIWYG view, find the area where you'd like to add your banner. With most programs, you can paste the code in right there. A little grey box will appear denoting the image. The banner won't show until you view it online.
If you program doesn't allow you to paste the code in the WYSIWYG area, you can try "marking" the spot with something like "zzz". Then, go to the HTML view. Perform a search or find using the commands on the new window to find the "zzz" you inserted. Paste your banner code over the zzz and go back to the WYSIWYG area.
When you are finished, upload the updated page to your site. Test it to be sure that the banner shows and that the link to the merchant's site works.
