How it works

Becoming a Wilderness Awareness School Affiliate is simple and it's free — in fact, we pay you!

1. In our online store, at the bottom of the left-side navigation menu, click on the "Affiliate log-in."

2. Create a new account, and click “Save”.

3. Then you’ll see a “Commissions” section, with "Link URL" and “Image Link HTML” with a selection of graphics. Copy and paste the Link URL code under an image (or your own written text) to the best traffic location on your website. So, instead of linking to our website with our main URL, your customers will connect through the Link URL code. It will not only bring your site visitor to our store home page, it will allow the store to automatically track all sales that are made during their visit.

4. We run our Affiliate payments monthly. When your earnings tally to above $25, we'll send you a check. You can log in any time to track your progress.

5. It's that easy!

Affiliate tips

1. Great Graphics: We are continuing to add captivating graphics for our school’s store and its products. Choose the ones you like best, and place them in high-traffic areas throughout your site, making sure you use your Link URL code as the link destination. These graphics will enhance both the service and the look of your website.

2. Pre-selling Performs: You will generate more online commissions by "pre-selling" our items. For example, you might send a special announcement newsletter for your community list about nature awareness, and mention Coyote’s Guide and Kamana as great tools. Make sure they know that sales will benefit your work, and how to use your link to visit our store.

You’ll have the best results by writing quality articles or blogs and weaving the TEXT LINK in seamlessly with your text. Folks are more likely to click on the link that way, than if you rely solely on graphics or banner-ads.

3. Create Keywords: You will get more hits on your web pages by writing great content pages featuring keywords people are searching for. If they search for "bird language," and find your page, not only do you get traffic to your site, you also have a chance to make commission for selling Advanced Bird Language on CD through your affiliate link.

Affiliate graphics

Simply place these on your web site and embed them with your special link code located in the "affiliate log in" screen on our store site. You'll find your special code embedded with your ID on the right side of the screen by the "LINK URL."

To get these graphics, either drag and drop them on to your desktop or RIGHT CLICK "save picture as."
