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’re taken to your own Partner Page. It lists out 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 kind of communication!
2. Refer directly through your unique Publishing Partner Link
You can refer authors directly using the code imbedded 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.
To the far right you’ll see an underlined line that say: Copy Referral Link. 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 where else you want to keep this unique link for your referrals.
To gain Publishing Partner referrals, simply share this link with your friends, authors or clients. When they click on it they will be taken directly to the BookBaby.com sign up page. Eligible authors signing up for their account 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 was invoiced on April 23, the partner commission of 10% will be paid on May 15.
