FAQ
Who owns & runs the Associate Scheme?
ALT2 Limited owns, manages & co-orinates the scheme.
Why do we run this scheme
For commercial profit, both our's and yours! We believe by combing together we can increase the profits of everyone's business.
Who gets the income from online sales?
Income from products with significent profit will be shared to Associates directly involved with obtaining sales, but generally income goes to ALT2.
In the future you will be able to directly receive income on this site from customers registred as yours (See "Future Plans")
Why is not all website income shared out?
Associates benefit from this sites online sales by gaining new customers and being able to service more of their customers requirements i.e. you gain more sales. This benefit is paid for by some of the online sales generated from web visitors and Associates customers.
This income is required for several reasons:-
- The income reduces the membership fees charged compared to networking schemes
- Most of the individual commissions gained from online sales are individually small, not worth the administration of splitting.
- It pays for the search engine placement charges £50-£300 per month.
- Pay for development time, such as XML integration to online suppliers.
- If funds become available - pay for phone receptionist etc.
- ALT2 is a business and hopes for some degree of return on it's investment 8¬)
Why is it not run as a full co-operative
Co-operatives require equal effort by all parties, need shared decision making and nearly daily coordination. In practise this rarely works out, especially when the parties are distanced from each other. We aim to act as close to being a co-operative as is possibly under commercial conditions.
