Every little bit helps, so I definitely won't discourage anyone from using our affiliate link, but the average percentage of commission that we got from that cancelled account was about 2% whereas Fanatics (as a comparison), is 8%. I'll watch the reports though and let you know when it shows up. 9 minutes ago, HazletonEagle said: my sneaks still didnt ship from under armour. I assume the commission may show up whenever they finally go out to the mail. I checked earlier today and didn't see it there, so I'll keep watching it. Their system is different from all of the others though, so I have to learn my way around it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect once it finally ships the charge will go through and we will see commission. Im curious to see what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they're probably all like that, I've noticed with Amazon and Fanatics that they wouldn't count it as 'revenue' until the order had shipped. Then, they all keep the money in limbo for a certain period of time. Probably to be sure that the orders won't be returned for some reason.

I see that a gift card was purchased (in my affiliate control panel), but I don't know if it's added to the commission yet (or if it will, I'm not positive that gift cards give a commission). So far, on this new affiliate account, there's been 6 items purchased and 2 shipped. Those two shipped items have earned the board a $1.70 commission.

But if its the only one there, I know I bout from UA and they were just shipped so thats probably it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VaBeach_Eagle Posted June 2, 2020 Author Share Posted June 2, 2020 Looks like all but one item of the recent Amazon orders have shipped and been credited to the boards affiliate account. The commissions were $1.70 and $1.82. Not huge amounts, but if everyone uses the affiliate link when they're going to order from Amazon, it could really help build up the boards reserve funds for the upgraded hosting package when the time comes.

I was mistaken, UA hadn't approved the site, the company that they do their affiliate program through (awin) did. That $5 was them refunding my application fee. I got a notification today that UA rejected the site. They don't do message boards. Once the news site is fully under way and populated with a good amount of news articles, I'll re-apply using that URL and see if that makes a difference. I applied for a couple of other affiliations though. One was another VPN service (Hotspot), and the other is CBS All Access. With Hotspot (if approved), the board will get a 50% commission on all subscriptions and renewals. With CBS All Access (if approved), the board will get a $9 commission on all subscriptions and renewals. The VPN, along with Fubo streaming TV, may be a good option for out of town fans to watch every Eagles game (via local Philly TV). That's why I applied with both Fubo and the VPN services for an affiliation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With those 3 in addition to Amazon you could capture pretty much every online purchase all of us ever make. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VaBeach_Eagle Posted June 8, 2020 Author Share Posted June 8, 2020 I see that someone made a nice sized purchase on Fanatics, maybe a jersey? I can't see the items that are purchased, only the dollar amounts. That purchase gives us a $17.92 commission. So that's great! I believe that if everyone who's going to make NFL merchandise purchases, does so with our affiliate link, any upgrades or hosting fees that need to be paid, will be funded without having to do donations. I've also given our Amazon link to various family members and asked them to use it if they make purchases, so that the board will get a commission. So funding for the future is well under way, we just have to keep it going. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
