How does one join the ENC Press Affiliate Program?
Very simply. You’ve already read and accepted the
terms and conditions. Now
to let us know if you are interested
in becoming an affiliate, and which of our titles you
would like to promote on your site. There’s no limit
on how many titles an affiliate can promote.
Please include the URL of the site you intend to link
to us, and send your inquiry with receipt requested.
What does ENC Press Affiliate Program
offer referrers?
The ENC Press Affiliate Program offers referrers the
chance to earn 10% commission on sales of ENC Press books
that can be traced to the referrer’s site. Anyone
who likes books and is willing to promote ENC Press’s
titles can become a referrer, just by putting a link to
one or more of our books on their Web site. If someone
follows that link and buys a book from ENCPress.com as
a result, the referrer will make 10% of the price advertised
on ENCPress.com.
Does one have to pay to become an ENC Press affiliate?
No, there are no setup charges: it’s completely
free.
How long does it take to become an affiliate?
As long as it takes you to post on your site a .gif image
and a short blurb of an ENC Press title or titles you
choose to promote. We’ll supply the image(s) and
the blurb(s) in an e-mail officially confirming your acceptance
into the ENC Press Affiliate Program.
What kinds of sites will you approve?
ENC Press wants to promote interest in fresh, original
novels that contain elements of social and political satire
or commentary, offer unusual insights into foreign cultures,
have a strong element of humor, and tip a few sacred cows
along the way. Because small, independent publishers can’t
afford to play on the same terms as the mammoth presses,
we’re looking for like-minded Web sites that will
help us attain this goal. There are some sites that we
won’t approve for the program, including those that
promote any illegal activities, including but not limited
to software piracy or other copyright violations; sites
that are under construction, which are welcome to try
us again when their construction is completed; and “banner
farms,” sites that exist for the sole purpose of
spamming the Internet with dozens of ads. If your site
is a valid Web site with real, useful information for
your readers, we’ll be happy to work with you.
How can I tell if I have sold anything through
the ENC Press Affiliate Program?
We’ll be glad to provide the stats for the number
of hits and actual sales that come from your site, on
demand but not more often than once a month. Unfortunately,
we have not yet come across a practicable way for an affiliate
to be able to track sales automatically, but our interest
in selling as many copies of our books as possible coincide
with yours, so we are fully vested in keeping this arrangement
as financially appealing to you as we can.
