Q:
|
Why go with our program?
|
A:
|
A very good question
indeed - first of all, we at theFutureMinders have been in this business for a
while. We understand what our job is and how valuable our affiliates
are in achieving our goals. With our help, we know that our affiliates
will bring people to our door, and it is our job to make sure that
once the consumer walks through the door, they want to stay for the
content and buy for the value and the unique benefits we offer.
Also, we know the secret to a great
affiliate program is communication. No matter how small or large the
affiliate, our affiliate staff understands the frustration affiliates
can go through trying to get questions answered. We pride ourselves on
quick responses to all emails. Our affiliate manager is personally
involved with each affiliate and will send tips and advice on
marketing and technical issues.
In addition, we offer a large variety
of banners, buttons, pop-ups and content feeders. We are open to your
suggestions, and we have an affiliate center to help you get
the most out of past experience and new methods and technologies that
can help you become successful. Our goal is to take care of you.
There are several compelling reasons
why theFutureMinders should be a long-term partner, helping you to earn a great
income. First, there is our content. Original and relevant, it covers
a number of different and unique areas that form a complete set of
information for the user.
We offer fresh content that is
written specifically for individuals not a group of people as in Sun
Signs. You can display it via our content feeders e.g. daily
horoscope.
We offer products and services that
help people solve problems and find answers to all kinds of questions
about all kinds of issues. Because millions of people search for
answers everyday, there is an ongoing demand for what we provide.
Astrology and horoscopes have been
around for thousands of years and will not go away soon. The content
at our Site is not limited by cultural and geographical boundaries.
Being relevant to anyone and everyone gives you access to a vast
market. As long as people search for answers related to personal
growth, love relationships, children, family, business relationships,
our products will never go out of style. Our aim it to provide a
Website of the highest quality centered on memberships and affiliates.

approved, you will receive an email notification welcoming you to our
program. This will include your affiliate password, so make sure to

|
|
|
Q:
|
How much money can I make?
|
A:
|
Exactly how much you
make will depend on a number of variables but
consider these facts: over 70 million people read their
horoscope every day; it is estimated that nearly 40% of
Americans believe in astrology - an even larger percentage worldwide.
A study by Gallup pollsters shows that 25% of
Americans use astrology in a variety of decisions.
theFutureMinders is the
leading provider of cutting edge content to the astrology and
horoscope markets. We have pioneered several new methods and feature
that others try to imitate. For example, 99% of astrology and
horoscope sites still serve a Sun Sign based daily forecast. Our daily
horoscopes are based on true horoscopes - horoscopes that relate to
each individual not each Sun Sign. We offer the best astrology-based
reports. To the buyer, they give information and answer questions on
love, career, family, children and self-improvement - and about other
specialized areas. The applications are many and varied. This is what
we have - as they say, the rest is up to you. Remember this is a
numbers game. The more exposure you can give our products and
services, the more chances we will have to introduce our Site.
We have three
different Premium memberships that customers purchase - each affiliate
receives 25% of all membership fees that come from its site:
Silver
Membership for 19.95
Your commission =
$4.99
Gold
Membership for 29.95
Your commission =
$7.49
Platinum
Membership for 49.95
Your commission =
$12.49
On astrology and horoscope reports, you receive
25% - the price of our reports range from $5.00 to $50.00.
Doing a quick calculation based on an average reports sale of $10.00
equals $2.50 for each report visitors buy during the initial - or any
other - visit even months down the line. We have a good conversion
rate because we have the best prices for reports on the Internet,
which means big dollars to all of our affiliates.

Q:
|
When do I get paid?
|
A:
|
Once you join our program,

much you've earned and even download a file if desired. Earnings are
automatically sent out every month via check to all Affiliates who
have accumulated at least $1 in their account. There are no invoices
to send and no data to track-- all payments are taken care of by
theFutureMinders.com. For those affiliates earning over $600 in a year, 1099's
will be issued for tax reporting purposes.

|
|
Q:
|
What's your market?
|
A:
|
In the US, the primary market includes females between the ages of 17 and 45. The numbers vary slightly worldwide. Education level and income levels are spread evenly throughout the segment. With males comprising about 15% of the market, we are developing products and features to attract more of the male audience.
