	I used my own affiliate link. Where is my commission?

Solution

MWG Affiliate make money consistently and easily!

I just bought a product with my Maryam Webster Group affiliate link. Though I purchased a few months ago, I haven't seen any commission payments to my PayPal address. What gives?

It is not allowable in ANY online affiliate program, to make commission on your own purchases. Doing so will get you banned from the program. This is stated in both your MWG Affiliate startup email, and the affiliate tools area tutorial located on the welcome page of your affiliate dashboard online. The section: "Who Can Become an Affiliate?" informs you about this in addition to other important parameters:

Anyone can become an Maryam Webster Group Affiliate, as long as they:

1) Only use ethical marketing methods to promote Maryam Webster Group Products. We will NOT tolerate anyone promoting MWG products through unsolicited e-mail marketing ("spam").

2) Do not promote MWG via sites or marketing that contain offensive content.

3) Do not use their affiliate links for their own MWG purchases.

Shouldn't you have notified me of this a few months ago when you saw these sales come through?

The responsibility for knowing what you're signing up for does rest with you. We trust that everyone signing a legal financial agreement - which is what an affiliate program is - will have taken the time to read its operating parameters throughly. But sometimes these things slide and agreements don't get fully read or understood. We understand this.

If the commissions shown in your affiliate area are for your own purchases, they do not show up as payable so the system will not notify us to make a payout. When we do catch items such as this, we will zero out any 'false positive' commissions, then let you know that we did it and why, so you can start with a clean slate.
