Affiliate Program FAQ
What is the MatthewBaxter.jp affiliate program?

If your application is accepted, you will be provided an affiliate link that you can share with your audience.

How will my customers benefit from me joining the program?
Your customers can benefit from your affiliation by receiving a 10% discount on their purchases made through your referral links.
Why do you offer such high commissions?
My goal with the affiliate program is to make it profitable and worthwhile not just for me, but for my affiliates too.
Ebooks sell for up to $8, and ebook bundles for up to $15, meaning that a 50/50 split makes it worth your effort in getting set up and sharing your affiliate links.
For paperbacks, about 40% of the cost goes to printing, so a 30% commission also makes it a favorable, and equal, share of the profits. Paperbacks sell for up to $14, and bundles for over $30, so you can make decent earnings with only one sale!
What is the minimum payment amount?
The minimum payment amount is US$25. If your earnings have not yet reached that limit, they will simply be moved forward to the following month.
