Frequently Asked Questions

Advanced Vision Support welcomes potential partners whose mission and vision align with our goal of supporting people who value healthy lifestyles. Our Visual Hygiene Program targets individuals who want to counter the negative effects of eyestrain, blue light, and related muscular-skeletal issues in the head, neck, and shoulders from the excessive use of electronic devices. As such, we are looking for partners who offer their clients relevant and complimentary products and services, from yoga instruction to blue light glasses, eye care products to nutritional supplements. Our affiliates enjoy the most success when their audiences deeply care about their physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being, and are motivated to do something about it.

- Visitor clicks on an affiliate link from one of your marketing channels (your website or in an email).
- Visitor’s IP address is logged and a cookie is placed in their browser for tracking purposes.
- Visitor browses our website.
- If the visitor purchases our program (the order need not be placed during the same browser session; cookies and IPs are stored for 90 days), the order will be registered as your referred sale.
- We review and approve the sale.
- You receive the commission.

It’s quite simple. You don’t even need a website (although having your own website helps). There are a variety of ways to promote the program via search engines, postings on Internet forums and social media, newsletters, recorded videos, or email campaigns. Once you become an affiliate, we provide you with a variety of banner styles and other affiliate links to share through your own channels. It’s that easy! We also provide basic information related to affiliate marketing within your portal, to which you will get access after your application has been approved. If you can even send links via live chat software if you have your own website and can accommodate that level of service.

An affiliate link is a unique web address (URL) that allows us to track the click-through of a visitor from one of your advertising channels to our web site. There is a unique URL for each banner you create and use. The visitor’s IP address is logged and a cookie is placed in their browser for tracking purposes. If the visitor purchases our program (not necessarily in the same browser session, but up to 90 days after the click through), the sale is logged as a referral sale and a commission is paid to you. You can learn more about different link styles here.

Our Affiliate Program is powered by Post Affiliate Pro, a powerful affiliate tracking software. Post Affiliate Pro uses a combination of cookies and IP address to track referrals for reliability and consistency. When the visitor follows your affiliate link to our site, our affiliate system registers the referral and places a cookie on his or her computer. When the visitor pays for the product, our affiliate system checks for a cookie (if not found, the system checks for the IP address of the referral) and credits your account with 25% of the purchase value. This process is absolutely automatic. Your referrals are properly and seamlessly tracked.
-
As an affiliate, your commissions are 25% of each referred sale. For payout, we use PayPal, the details of which you can set up inside the Affiliate Portal after your application has been approved (if you don’t have PayPal we can work with you to find another payout option). There is a minimum payout value of $100. Payments are issued in US dollars, and are paid Net 30 days of month’s end in which the threshold is met. For example, payments for the month of May would be paid at the end of June.

Form W-9 and the Form W-8 series are the appropriate tax forms used for individual taxpayers and tax-exempt organizations to report financial information to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) of the United States.
