Many of you may not know this… but I have been working on a tech startup venture for the past year and a half. \u00a0It’s called\u00a0Flevy<\/a>\u00a0and it’s an online marketplace for premium business documents.<\/p>\n

Today,\u00a0Flevy\u00a0is the #1 online provider of high quality business documents. We sell presentation templates, financial models, PowerPoint templates, and more. We cover a wide breadth of corporate functions, from IT to Corporate Strategy to Communications to Change Management to Corporate Finance. Read more about\u00a0Flevy\u00a0here:\u00a0http:\/\/flevy.com\/about<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I am excited to announce that we just launched an\u00a0Affiliate Program<\/a>\u00a0for\u00a0Flevy.<\/p>\n

Flevy’s Affiliate Program is structured like the Amazon Associates program. You direct customers to our site and earn a commission on each sale. Commission % is based on monthly sales.<\/p>\n

For a limited time, we are boosting commission rates–up to 15% on each sale.\u00a0These rates will be LOCKED IN for the lifetime of your account<\/span>\u00a0if you join within the limited promotion period.<\/span><\/p>\n

Full program details and commission rate structure can be found here:

What does our typical customer look like?<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/h2>\n

Our most common customer profile is someone who works in a corporate role at a mid-size to large enterprise. Here are several random examples to give you a better idea:<\/p>\n

A marketer, working for P&G, needs to develop the pricing strategy for a new product. This person would be interested in this document —

A VP wants to establish a proper scorecard and KPIs for his team. He may be interested in learning about the Balanced Scorecard methodology —

What makes this Affiliate\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>Program unique?<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/h2>\n

Flevy\u00a0is a marketplace, meaning people join us to both BUY and SELL their business documents. As part of the Affiliate Program, you can also refer document sellers to\u00a0Flevy. You will then earn a commission on all sales that the document sellers makes off\u00a0Flevy.<\/p>\n

This is an important distinction from other Affiliate programs, such as Amazon’s.<\/p>\n

Who is this Affiliate Program best suited for?<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/h2>\n

In my opinion, this program is best suited for someone who has held a corporate role in a previous life. \u00a0In other words, previously, you worked for a large company in some corporate function — e.g., Marketing, Operations, IT, Supply Chain, HR, Program Management, Safety, etc. \u00a0 This could’ve been an internship or a job you’ve held for 10+ years.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Flevy\u00a0Affiliate Program<\/a>\u00a0allows you to capitalize on both your expertise and professional network. \u00a0Furthermore, you will a significant advantage of others trying to sell these same documents, because you have domain knowledge of these highly specialized products.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
