As an affiliate you will receive your own unique link to share on social media. When someone clicks your link and if they eventually sign up for Leverage, you are credited with the course sale! When you are an affiliate, you are required to say that you are an affiliate in any post. Please disclose that you are an affiliate either by saying it in your emails, your posts, or by using a hashtag such as #affiliate or #partnerprogram 

This time we are doing things a little differently.  Instead of tiers, everyone will be making a 30% commission per sale.  

The course is $1997 so you will be making $599.10 per transaction! We want to make it worth your time and effort. 

Each affiliate gets a unique Share Link to share with their audiences. These Share Links will place a cookie on the prospective customer's browser for 30 days. As long as the customer purchases Leverage using the same browser and the purchases are made within that 30-day time period, the transaction will be counted as an Affiliate transaction and you will get credited for the sale.

The enrollment window will close, and then the course will begin. There is a brief window (2 weeks after the course launches) in which students can ask for a refund after the course begins. After that refund window closes, payments will be made via PayPal Payout.

We will email you a list of your affiliate sales, but we encourage you to NOT deliver any bonuses that you've advertised until after the refund window closes. 

We will send you a final affiliate sales summary after the refund window closes.

If a student pays for their course in full, you will be paid for that portion of your sale at once. If a student signs up using a payment plan, you will be paid monthly for up to 12 months for your portion of the sale.

Unfortunately, we do have students fall off their payment plans. If and when this happens you will no longer be paid your commission.  We do our best to save every payment and have an automated system in place to help recover as many as possible.

You can share anything that you think would be compelling to your audiences. Tell your own story. Share your own transformation from being a creative with a dream to being a successful artist.

You can share about Leverage via blog post, IG post, IG story, or newsletter (highly recommend the newsletter option). Also, people rarely sign up the first time they learn about a program, so I recommend sharing several times during the launch.

And, when you share, you MUST share that you are an affiliate for this course. A simple hashtag #partnerprogram or #affiliate or a small disclosure at the bottom of your post will suffice. But please do not disclose the terms of our affiliate program.

Any refund requests will be processed and deducted from the coordinating affiliate commissions within a 30-day window. If a student stops making payments your payment will stop as well.  We do our best to prevent this from happening.

You will not receive commissions on your own purchases or purchases made by other affiliates

My own marketing will never contain affiliate links, meaning you won't be in competition with me for the sale. 

You must adhere to FTC Guidelines

We are streamlining our bonus offerings to stay in line with what others in our industry are doing.

This year, if you want to offer a bonus, it can only be a bonus Group Coaching Call. You can make that Group Coaching Call's topic whatever you would like, but by keeping it the same bonus across the board, it will help our students be better able to decide on enrolling in Leverage rather than "shopping around" for whoever is offering the biggest bonus.

Bonus must be offered within 6 months of Leverage.

If we find out that anyone has violated this rule and is secretly offering more bonuses to convince people to sign up under them, that person will be removed from the affiliate program and will not receive their commissions.

We understand how frustrating this can be. Unfortunately, we will not move the student to your affiliate account. Furthermore, we will not refund the student for them to resign under your affiliate link. We only wish for the entire affiliate program to be fair. 

We suggest you share your link as often as needed with your community so they keep it in mind.

Are you ready to leverage your art into your dream career?

I've been exactly where you are: you are dreaming of having a career as an artist. I graduated with an art degree, but then became a coffee shop manager because I didn't know how to make money with my art.

I started selling my own artwork online. I realized that I could leverage my artwork by selling products wholesale, licensing my art, doing custom work, and creating book illustrations. The possibilities seemed endless!

Now 10+ years later I license my art to major companies, sell my products in 1000+ retail stores.

I am here to teach you exactly how I did it, save you years of trial and error, and give you the advice and tips I wish someone had given me when I launched my business. Let's get those best practices in place to help your creative vision grow.

Come on! You are about to take the biggest step towards your dream career. LET'S DO THIS!
