Promoter Guidelines

Rules my friend! Please be sure to read this in its entirety and ask if you are unclear about anything so I don't have to go all "bad cop" on you! 😉

Before signing up as a promoter via Thrivecart, please be sure you have read, understood and agree to play within these guidelines.

We're all about personal responsibility and clear boundaries, and we want to be sure this feels fun, light and playful for you - and our team!

How do affiliate links work?

You will receive a unique link (via ThriveCart) to share with your audience. To simplify the process, we'll provide you with a short n' pretty bit.ly link.

When someone clicks on your link, before it directs them to your custom teacher sales page, it leaves a tracking code on their computer/device, so if that person buys within 90 days of clicking your link, the sale is tracked back to you. You receive 50% of all sales tracked from your link.

IMPORTANT: The sale is credited to the last affiliate link clicked just prior to the purchase, based on the device/computer they used when they clicked link.

You MUST copy + paste the affiliate link exactly as we provide it to you.

It will look like this

COMMON MISTAKE TO AVOID!
Do NOT put the link we give you in your web browser, see where it directs you and then grab THAT link to share.

Please note: NO technology is perfect and we rely on the reporting of our system (ThriveCart). If you think this may cause you stress, let's discuss if being a promoter is a good fit - because quite honestly, if it's going to cause you stress, it's going to cause our team stress! (...and we're wrinkly enough on our own - haha)

Can I offer discounts or bonuses to people who sign up specifically with my link?

Can I offer discounts/bonuses/offers to EVERYONE in the Retreat?

Yes, BUT please do NOT make reference to this IN your video or in your promotion of retreat. The Retreat will be available for sale until it retires and bonuses and discounts may change for you.

If you are indicating a certain item/guide/resource is PART of your session topic/part of the retreat, then we ask for the item to be submitted along with your video so it is available to all students WITHOUT additional action taken on their part (ie: they don't have to opt-in for it or sign up on a member site). If you have questions around this, please ask!

Can my vendor or photographer friends share my link with their audiences?

When can I start promoting the retreat and revealing that I'm in the lineup?

When and how will I be paid out for my sales?

Speakers will receive their speaker payment when video is submitted (by Dec 9th) via Paypal.

Any income earned from affiliate sales during the pre-sale in November/Dec will be paid out via Paypal on Jan 24th. After that, sales will automatically be paid out via Paypal 7 days from time of purchase. You can keep selling via your link while the retreat is still available.

If a student opts for a payment plan, you are paid 50% of each payment made as it is made. Occasionally students do default on payment plans but we work with an outside collection agency to minimize this.

Sound good to you?

(note: if you already have a ThriveCart account, you login with that info, otherwise, create a new username/password. Your studio name makes a good username as it will show up in your link!)

If you are unclear of anything, please reach out to Erin or Corinne at [email protected] so she can answer your questions!

Status Update Ideas

We highly recommend tweaking these to match your brand and personality!

(You're one of a kind...also, Facebook throws a bit of a fit when multiple people post the same thing at the same time!)

Here are Some Ideas to Promote the Retreat

Do a Facebook Live

Facebook loves live video right now and gives it great reach. Hop on a Facebook live to do a Q&A with your fans, or chat about a specific topic.

During the broadcast, talk about what you are teaching about during the Retreat, and share a few other teachers/topics you are excited about. Include your affiliate link in the comments (or have one of your super fans help you out by doing so while you are live.)

Once it has ended, go back in to edit the post to include your affiliate link for people who are watching the replay (this is a great one to run ads to).

Send an email

Email isn't dead! If you have an email list, be sure to send out an email to your audience (or past retreat/workshop attendees). You could share a tip that you found has been working well during your sessions and/or in your business right now, along with a summary of what you are teaching at the retreat (and/or some other teachers).

You have a chance to preview the videos, so watch a few and share what you are excited about!

Schedule a Live Q&A with Lisa

Hop on a live Q&A with Lisa - you can then share this interview to your page and include your affiliate link.

Run Facebook Ads (to targeted fans/groups)

Get your audience/circle of friends involved!

Have great vendor relationships or super fans? Are you in a Facebook group that allows sharing of workshops/events?Ask them to help you promote the retreat (and give them your affiliate link to share).

Create a little 'sneak peek' video (AND/OR) share the Retreat Promo video (in January)

You'll find a promo video in the Dropbox folder in January. Share this on FB/email/in your groups or create your own little promo. People get excited to see a behind-the-scenes look! But before then, you can share little peeks at your own behind-the-scenes on filming day.

Write a Blog Post about the Retreat

Enjoy writing? Have a blog? Try writing a short piece about the retreat and how you feel it will help people boost their confidence, improve their posing, editing, marketing and more. At the end of the piece (or in the middle!), include your affiliate link. Run a FB post to the blog post (FB tends to favour links that aren't going directly to a sales page).
