1. What commission can I earn? ▼
Three tiers available: Standard (30% recurring) for anyone, Verified Influencer (40% recurring) for creators with 10K+ followers, and Partner/Practitioner (50% recurring) for TCM practitioners and wellness professionals. Commission is recurring — you earn it every billing cycle for the lifetime of the subscription.
2. How are payouts handled? ▼
Monthly via PayPal on the 15th of each month for the previous month's earnings. Minimum payout threshold: $50. If your balance is below $50, it rolls over to the next month.
3. How long do cookies last? ▼
90 days. If someone clicks your link and subscribes within 90 days, you get the commission — even if they don't subscribe on the first visit.
4. Can I promote on any platform? ▼
Yes! Blog, YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Twitter/X, email newsletter, podcast — anywhere you have an audience. Just disclose your affiliate relationship per FTC guidelines.
5. Is there a cost to join? ▼
No. The affiliate program is 100% free to join. No setup fees, monthly fees, or hidden costs.
6. How do I track my earnings? ▼
You'll get access to a
real-time dashboard at
affiliate-dashboard.html showing clicks, conversions, active referrals, and earnings. Create custom UTM links to track different campaigns.
7. What if my referral cancels? ▼
If a referred user cancels, your recurring commission for that user stops at the end of their billing cycle. You keep all previously earned commissions. No clawbacks.
8. How do I qualify for the Verified Influencer tier (40%)? ▼
You need 10,000+ followers on at least one platform (Instagram, Twitter/X, YouTube, TikTok, or a blog/newsletter). Email meridianshunshi@gmail.com with links to your profiles to apply for verification.
9. How do I qualify for the Partner/Practitioner tier (50%)? ▼
You need to be a licensed TCM practitioner, acupuncturist, naturopathic doctor, or wellness professional with an active practice. Email meridianshunshi@gmail.com with your credentials for verification.
10. Do I need to be a SEASONS subscriber? ▼
No, you don't need to be a subscriber to join. However, being a user gives you authentic experience to share, which typically leads to higher conversions.
11. Can I use paid ads to promote my affiliate link? ▼
Yes, paid ads (Google Ads, Facebook Ads, etc.) are allowed. However, you cannot bid on the trademarked term "SEASONS" or variations. Use long-tail keywords related to TCM, wellness, etc.
12. Can I refer other affiliates? ▼
Yes! We offer a 5% second-tier commission on earnings from affiliates you refer to the program. This is also recurring.
13. What marketing materials are available? ▼
We provide
banners (728×90, 300×250, 160×600, 1200×628),
social media templates (tweets, Instagram captions),
email templates,
brand guidelines, and a
promotion guide. See
affiliate-assets.html.
14. How is the commission calculated? ▼
Commission is calculated as a percentage of the subscription price, net of taxes and payment processing fees. For example, a $9.99/month subscription at 30% = $3.00/month in commission.
15. Are there any prohibited promotional methods? ▼
Prohibited: spamming, cookie stuffing, misleading claims, bidding on "SEASONS" trademark, fake reviews, incentive-based marketing (offering cash/rewards for signups). Violations result in immediate termination.
16. Can I offer a discount code to my audience? ▼
Verified Influencer and Partner tiers can get a custom promo code (e.g., 20% off) to share with their audience. Contact us after joining to set this up.
17. What happens if two affiliates refer the same person? ▼
The first-click wins rule applies. If Affiliate A's link is clicked first and Affiliate B's link is clicked later, Affiliate A gets the commission as long as it's within the 90-day cookie window.
18. How do I get paid if I'm outside the US? ▼
PayPal supports 200+ countries and regions. As long as you can receive PayPal payments, you can participate. You're responsible for your own tax obligations in your country.
19. Can I create custom content about SEASONS? ▼
Absolutely! Reviews, tutorials, comparisons, "day in the life" posts, and educational content about TCM all work great. Just be honest and authentic — and disclose your affiliate relationship.
