Your promotions should be legal, fair, and follow our guidelines to protecting our intellectual property.
We will provide you with an affiliate tracking link and links to sales pages. Your right to use these links is non-transferable and revocable.

You must prominently state that you will receive an affiliate commission for the sale of Six Figure Author Coach’s products and services near the link, and in email or social media promotions.

You may not share your affiliate link with any other person who is not an intended customer (for example, with a friend for the purpose of sharing commissions).
Instead of ten pages of descriptions about how not to game the system, just be aware that any tactic which violates the spirit of a referral relationship (i.e., your good faith promotion of Six Figure Author Coach products to people who have expressed an interest in hearing from you, such as your email subscribers) will result in termination of this agreement and forfeiture of any commissions earned using these tactics, as determined by Six Figure Author Coach in its sole discretion.
