You market your favorite product, be it The Pops™, Big B™, Extreme Regime Fat Burn™ - or all three. You build a repeat customer base, just like AOL, cable TV and insurance companies have done. You earn commissions from all product sales generated.
Note: I primarily focus on marketing The Pops™ (see image here), though I do market all three products on my health blog. I've found it's better to focus on one product at a time, and The Pops™ is my favorite one.
You can market The Pops™, Big B™ or Extreme Regime Fat Burn™ program any way you want, based on what best fits you and your personality. You can do a combination of online and offline marketing to find customers. Some Affiliates call on the telephone, hand out business cards, use a blog, market on the Internet or run newspaper ads.
(If you have a blog or website, here or here are examples of sidebar ads for The Pops™.)
Other Affiliates own a traditional brick & mortar business with a lot of walk in traffic, such as a hair salon, chiropractic office or a health club. They simply place signage in their business, that leads people to their personal Whole Food Nation website. (See sign/ad sample here.)
Your goal is to simply lead people to your website. That's all you have to do. The company takes care of every thing else.The best way to accomplish this is to incorporate your sales and marketing efforts with something you enjoy doing.
Is there a sign-up fee to be a Whole Food Nation™ Affiliate?
No. There are no sign up fees to join.
It's a unique business model that allows you to make money without any true risk or real overhead. The company takes care of all the orders, inventory and shipping. Our job is to simply find the customers, primarily by leading them to our personal website.
Do I have to buy products or meet a monthly quota to get paid?
No, you do not have to purchase anything. However, it is suggested you try The Pops™ or Big B™, especially if you truly believe nutrition makes a difference in your health.
Do I get paid on my own purchases?
Yes, you get paid on all purchases made through your own affiliate website, even though it is for personal use.
What other expenses can I expect?
It depends on your time and resources. For example, you might want to consider getting a domain name from GoDaddy.com for the purposes of marketing. Two domain names I have purchased are PurpleGreenPops.com and HowSafeAreYourVitamins.com. Each domain name costs $9.95 a year.
I have also bought business cards as well as printed handouts on my home office printer. Since I use the telephone, there is a monthly expense there as well.
One owner of a restaurant had two (8 1/2 x 11) laminated signs made with her website address. She placed them in her place of business for patrons to see while standing in line.
Others may want to advertise in the newspaper, or use Google Adwords to place ads online.
Use your business expertise and resources as you see fit. Again, the goal is to simply lead people to your personal website. Whole Food Nation™ takes care of the rest. You get credit for the sales.
What is the payout?
Whole Food Nation™ is a Direct Sales company (as opposed to MLM or Network Marketing) with a two-tier compensation plan.
The commission is 20% for the sale of the ER Fat Burn™ programs (customers) and 10% from your Affiliates.
The commission is 18% for the sale of The Pops™ and Big B™ (customers) and 7% on Affiliate sales.
That's it, simplified.
This is the same business model that Amazon.com uses, except affiliates for Whole Food Nation™ are paid a 20% and 18% commissions, versus the 4% commission paid by Amazon.com.
Additional information available here.
Do I get paid for clicks, leads or hits?
No, Whole Food Nation™ does not pay out for leads or clicks. All commissions are paid based on product sales.
How is all of this tracked, so I will receive proper credit?
Whole Food Nation™ affiliate partners are given a personal, unique URL for tracking purposes. In addition, you will have access to all activity you have generated, including leads, people who have opted-in for the free reports, number of sales generated, and sales from your personal affiliates.

You get a direct deposit into your bank account, or you can have a check mailed to you.
How do I stay active as a WFN Affiliate?
To maintain your Affiliate status, you need to have $148 per year in sales volume through your Affliate ID.
An example is four boxes of The Pops™ in a year.
I am a business owner. Can I use a Tax I.D.?
Yes. You can use a Tax Identification Number (TIN) to sign up or a Social Security Number (SSN), whichever best suits your particular situation.
What do I get from Whole Food Nation™ as far as tools and training?
You'll receive a free Whole Food Nation™ website. You'll also be able to use the free reports as they become available, such as "Are Your Vitamins Safe?" and "Did The Surgeon General Get It Wrong About Weight Loss?".
In addition, you'll also have a personal affiliate link to sign up customers and personal Affiliates.
