Announcing Quia's affiliate program

Would you like to earn extra income by introducing people to Quia? Our new affiliate program allows you to earn up to $10 per subscriber. Is there a catch? Yes, but we think it's a good one. To become an affiliate and earn commissions, you must make Quia better. In other words, you'll give educators who subscribe through you something more useful than if they had subscribed on their own. Here's how this is possible...


Becoming an affiliate

Your first step is to create a collection of:

25 or more activities and quizzes, and/or
200 or more quiz questions

These materials, known as an activity set, must be useful, focused, and accurate. If you've been using Quia for a while already, you may have much of your activity set already in place.

The next step is to apply to become an affiliate. You'll submit your activity set to Quia, and, if it meets the quality guidelines, you'll receive an affiliate code (a short word followed by a number, like MATH85 or SPAN41). You'll also get a personalized sign-up page on quia.com that you can customize with your own banner image and welcome message.


How the affiliate codes work

When you tell people about Quia, give them your affiliate code and ask them to enter it when they sign up for trial accounts. Or, give them the URL of your sign-up page. When trial users enter your code or use your sign-up page, they'll receive a trial account pre-populated with all of the materials in your activity set. This is how you're making Quia better: you're giving those who subscribe through you a jump start. Instead of beginning with an empty account, they'll have a great bank of activities from day one.


Marketing your affiliate code


You can tell people about Quia in person (in workshops and presentations, for instance), and you can also spread the word online. If you have your own Web site, add a link to your Quia sign-up page and let potential users know about the special benefits they'll get by subscribing through you.

One key to becoming a successful affiliate is using your expertise to create activity sets that others will find valuable. The more targeted and complete your set is, the better. For example:

fourth-grade history activities and quiz questions all correlated and labeled according to your state's standards of learning
activities covering grammar topics taught in first-year Spanish
quiz questions suitable for an introductory high school chemistry course

If you have multiple areas of expertise-say, business vocabulary in both French and German-you can apply for separate affiliate codes for each one. There is no limit to the number of affiliate codes you can have.
