The Gluten-Free Diner Cookbook Affiliate Program

Welcome! Thank you for taking the time to consider our affiliate program!

This program is super easy… you add a banner image or text ad with unique tracking link to your site or email, someone clicks on it and it takes them to purchase the cookbook. If they purchase, you get paid. How easy is that!

Setting up the program will be easy by just following a few quick steps. Below are some quick facts and step-by-step instructions along with pictures. I’m a show me gal so I hope the pictures help. If you have any questions you can always e-mail us wholegang.affiliates@gmail.com.

First – some quick facts about the program:

  • Product: The Gluten-Free Diner Cookbook ebook downloaded by purchaser
  • Commission: 35% of each sale total from The Gluten-Free Diner Cookbook ($3.31 per sale without discounts applied).
  • Signup: Click here to sign up with e-Junkie. It’s quick, easy and free. Also – an account with PayPal is required for commission payments.
  • Referral Method: Only completed sales from your unique e-Junkie tracking link are “commissionable”… no exceptions. See “Step-by-Step Instructions” below for more on how to sign up and get your unique tracking link.
  • Payment Threshold? None. If you have as little as one commission it will be paid according to the schedule.
  • Payment Schedule: 25-30 days following the end of the previous calendar month. For example, commissions for sales logged during July will be paid via PayPal between August 25-30. Also note that commissions will not be paid on sales that are refunded to the customer for any reason. Please note that payments will be issued via PayPal only.
  • Self-Referrals OK? Yes – you can use your own referral link to purchase one for yourself!
  • Program Administration: e-Junkie (our cart system). As an affiliate, you will get an e-mail each time a sale is initiated from one of your links. You can also see the sales log in your eJunkie account.
  • Cookie Duration: Buyers who click your affiliate link will be redirected to the Cookbook sales page while e-Junkie sets a cookie in the buyer’s browser that expires in 6 months. Any eligible products the buyer purchases from you during the lifetime of that cookie will earn a commission. Please note we have no control over visitors that clear cookies from the browser before the 6 month cookie expiration date.
  • Pay-Per-Click Promotion OK? Yes! You can use Google Ad Words or other PPC networks to promote the product. You can use the exact title of the book, The Gluten-Free Diner Cookbook . Please do not use “The W.H.O.L.E. Gang” in your ads.
  • Any No-Nos? Absolutely no spamming via email or social media, no objectionable (adult/hate) websites… the usual. We reserve the right to remove a participant from the program for any reason, at our sole discretion.
  • Questions? Please send an email to wholegang.affiliates@gmail.com.

Promotion Ideas: You can always kick off your affiliation with a blog post. Feel free to use the pdf of the menu from the cookbook. It shows all of the recipes and how to put them together for meals.
