How does the affiliate program work?
Once you have created an account and have logged into it you will see an area called "Affiliate Banners." Within this area you can choose from several Greener Country image banners or text links that you will put within your Web site. These links have a special affiliate code that will track visits and purchases made by visitors who come to our site through yours. You can create custom links to specific products within our site, or just link to our home page. Just cut and paste the code from the link you want to use into your Web site to begin generating sales and making money.

No, affiliates are not Greener Country employees and are considered independent contractors. As such they are subject to the tax laws that govern independent contractors for the state where they do business. We do not withhold taxes from affiliate earnings, and it is their responsibility to pay taxes on the money they earn as affiliates in our program.
