Google Chekout since now is available for customers buying templates from affiliate websites.  Google Checkout  was tested on TemplateMonster and this payment method showed pretty good results. Hope this addittion will result in higher sales

With our affiliate program started in 2003 and till now we had an open registration and we though this would benefit our affiliate community. By now, we have over 100 000 of affiliates registered but …90% of them just registered without any further actions, tried to sell for a month or simply uploaded the ready-made affiliate shop with the expectations it would start selling itself. Unfortunately, things are not that easy. Things need to be changed.

Having this in mind, we decided to take this step. During the next week we are going to cancel the open registration of affiliates, all the new affiliates who would like to register will be reviewed and only those people/companies having set websites and good website designs and ready to add something new to our system will be approved to register.  Affiliate program will still remain free. Quality will be our main and the only principle.

After the test period and different types of updates inside the affiliate system we hope to built a strong affiliate community of those who are willing to sell our products and make it in professional manner.

Saying this all… let’s do it!

We have added a new feature for those affiliates who would like to easily show templates in their blogs- template widget. I’ve just added it here myself, check on the right. This widget allows show 8 featured templates from templatemonster: 4 website templates and 4 flash templates. You can choose the number of templates to display and you can choose whether to show the templates vertically or horizontally. When clicking on the template you get to TemplateMonster website via your affiliate link, the cookies are saved and the sales are tracked

If you were buying something on TemplateMonster website last month you might have noticed there were some offers from TT showing on the page opening next to shopping cart page where customers could choose customization packages and buy them together with the template. These are actually special offers from TemplateTuning, customization packages that are offered at special discounted pricing. We have been testing this action for about 1.5 months on TemplateMonster and result were pretty good, so, we thought, why not to go further.

Today we are planning to make this special TemplateTuning offer available on affiliate websites as well. This action will automatically turn on for affiliates who have the customize button on, those affiliates who have customize button disabled and offer customization services themselves won’t have this offer activated and template ordering process will work just in a usual way. In case you’d like to disable this offer on your website and just have the customize button as usual , you can turn it off on the Special Offers page (go to presets>>preset setting>>choose preset>>choose special offer page).

Sale of the special offer package will be considered a TemplateMonster sale with the 20% commission accordingly.

Yours,

Kara
