1. Refer authors through your Publishing Partner Web Page
We’ve created a special BookBaby Partner Page for you to share with other authors.
Here’s how you find it: log in to your account and go to your Publishing Partner Dashboard.
Near the top of the page, you’ll find your Account Status – Active.
Right under it is your Referral Link. It’ll say something like:
www.bookbaby.com/partnerlink/YOURNAME
Click the link, and you’ll be taken to your Partner Page. It lists all the author benefits for self-publishing through BookBaby, including discounts and exclusive offers. Eligible authors clicking through the “Sign Up” link on the page will become your referred clients, and you will receive 10% commissions on their first self-publishing project.
Tip: Publish this page URL in all your emails, social posts, and any communication!
2. Refer directly through your unique Publishing Partner Link
You can refer authors now using the code embedded in the Get Started button on your web page.
Here’s how you find it: log in to your account and go to your Publishing Partner Dashboard.
Near the top of the page, you’ll find your Account Status – Active.
You’ll see "Copy Referral Link" underlined to the far right. Left-click on it, and you’ll see a little message in the panel saying: "COPIED!"
Now you can paste it anywhere for future reference – your desktop, Evernote page, word document, or wherever else you want to keep this unique link for your referrals.
Share this link with your friends, authors, or clients to gain Publishing Partner referrals. They will be taken directly to the BookBaby.com sign-up page when they click on it. Eligible authors signing up for their accounts will become your referred clients, and you will receive 10% commissions on their first self-publishing project.
Tip: Include this URL in all communication with your authors with a message like:” I’ve partnered with BookBaby.com, the nation’s leading self-publishing companies”
How and when are partner commissions paid?
Publishing Partner commissions are paid two ways:
- Through automatic deposits into the partner’s checking or savings accounts.
- Through the partner’s Pay Pal account.
Publishing partner commissions are automatically paid on the 15th of each month. The commissions are based on all your referred authors’ projects from the preceding month. For instance: If one of your authors’ publishing projects were invoiced on April 23, the partner commission of 10% would be paid on May 15.
