Terms and Conditions

Affiliates will be paid through PayPal by the 15th of the month for the prior month’s commissions.  Payments will be based solely on the sales credited to the affiliate as reported by E-Junkie.  Your sales can be viewed in the E-Junkie affiliate admin screen.  Click View/ Download Earning Report then View Sales to see your reported and credited affiliate sales.  You will not be paid commissions on reported sales which were later returned, reversed, and/ or refunded (this is rare, though it does occur occasionally). The E-Junkie reports should reflect the actual current total, taking returns into account. Affiliate referral sales are credited to the affiliate and commissions paid only with e-books sold through E-Junkie and do not include sales by other vendors and sites including but not limited to:  Amazon.com, BarnesandNoble.com, Smashwords, Apple, Kobo, or Sony.

Affiliate share (commission) is 20% of purchase price unless other arrangements have been made between the affiliate and Full Stop.

It is the affiliate’s responsibility to ensure that all links include the proper codes and function properly so that sales resulting from those referrals are properly and automatically reported to E-Junkie and credited to the affiliate.  Douglas J. Klostermann, Douglas J. Klostermann Photography, and Full Stop Media take no responsibility for improperly functioning links and / or referral sales not credited to the affiliate by E-Junkie.

Relationship between an affiliate and Full Stop Media can be terminated by either party at any time.

Taxes and Tax Forms

You are solely responsible for any and all tax obligations, if any, due to the IRS in the United States (plus taxes due in your country of residence), arising from or in connection with your participation in this affiliate program.

U.S. Residents:

You are responsible for declaring and paying taxes on your affiliate income. If you earn more than $600 in affiliate income per calendar year, I will need to submit the appropriate forms to the IRS. If you are a US citizen or US Resident Alien, I will need for you to fill out, sign, and send me a W9 form:

Obtain W9 form here:

If you earn over $600 in fees per calendar year, I will send you and the IRS a 1099-MISC form in January. The commission fees are categorized as Nonemployee Compensation on the form.

Non-U.S Residents

If you earn more than $600 in Full Stop affiliate income and are not a US citizen or US Resident Alien, you will need to fill out and send me the Declaration of No US Activities form and the W8BEN form (both below). You will be responsible for any applicable US and foreign taxes on this income.  If required, I will send you and the IRS the 1042-S form in January (typically not required if you have sent me the Declaration of No US Activities form).

Affiliate Tips

-Test your affiliate links to make sure they’re working properly by clicking your link or image and making sure it goes to the Full Stop website.

-New affiliates please contact me to let me know which current e-book you would like to have sent to you for a review copy.

-Write a review or blog post about the e-books, and use your affiliate link whenever you refer to the e-book in your post.  Rather than just summarizing the content, also discuss how you find the book to be helpful.  Tweet and Facebook about your review to bring readers to your blog.

-For camera guides, write a review soon after the release of a new guide, when people are researching the latest camera or eager first adopters want to learn to use their new camera.  Full Stop guides typically come out just weeks after a new dSLR camera has been released, months earlier than printed camera guides.

-Write “Top Ten Tips” type blog posts about one of the cameras or other e-book subject, including what you or a new user can learn with the Full Stop guide, and link to the guide.

-Use the graphics provided here on your website and blog, including the proper link code.  See the example codes to learn how to put the graphics and codes into your website and even into WordPress sidebar widgets.

Creating Links

You can use either a Common Affiliate Hop Link Code to link to the main landing page of the Full Stop website, or use a Product Specific Affiliate Link to link directly to the product page of a specific e-book.

Common Affiliate Hop Link Code
Here is an example of what your Common Affiliate Hop Link code will look like, although I’ve replaced some of the numbers and codes with X’s.  Be sure to use your full personal Hop Link copied from E-Junkie as described above.

<a href=”https://www.e-junkie.com/ecom/gb.php?cl=XXXXXX=ib&aff=XXXXXX” target=”ejejcsingle”>Click here to visit Full Stop Books.</a>

Simple Link

If you insert this HTML code into your website, you will create a link that looks like this:

Click here to visit Full Stop Books.

To change what the link text says, change the part of the code shown in red here:

<a href=”https://www.e-junkie.com/ecom/gb.php?cl=XXXXXX=ib&aff=XXXXXX” target=”ejejcsingle”>Click here to visit Full Stop Books.</a>

You can write whatever you want, such as:
Learn more about the Nikon D7000 Experience e-book here
or
Click here to see all the Full Stop camera guides.

Create Your Own Hyperlink

You can also extract the URL link from the code, which is the the part between the quotes shown in red below, and use that to insert a hyperlink in whatever appropriate text you wish.  Or use that URL as the hyperlink for one of the graphics provided below:

<a href=”https://www.e-junkie.com/ecom/gb.php?cl=XXXXXX=ib&aff=XXXXXX” target=”ejejcsingle”>Click here to visit Full Stop Books.</a>

Never change this part of the code, as it includes your affiliate information.

For example, you can insert one of the graphics as an image into a blog post, then insert a hyperlink for that image, using that part of your Hop Link code shown in red as the hyperlink.  Remember, use your personal Hop Link code, not this example one here.

Create a WordPress Sidebar Widget

To create a WordPress sidebar or footer widget with one of the graphics below and your link code, place a Text Widget in your sidebar or footer, title it if you wish or leave that space blank, and modify and insert a code similar to this into the widget text space:

<a href=”https://www.e-junkie.com/ecom/gb.php?cl=XXXXXX=ib&aff=XXXXXX” target=”_blank”>
<img class=”aligncenter” src=”http://www.dojoklo.com/Full_Stop/graphics/Full-Stop-banner-200×335.jpg” alt=”Full Stop Photography E-books” border=”0″/></a>

The part shown in red is the URL link from your personal Affiliate Hop Link code that you insert, and the part shown in green is the location code for the image you wish to use (see below).  Be sure to use one of the graphics that is not wider than your sidebar, perhaps a 200 px wide image.  If you have downloaded and saved the image somewhere, such as in your WordPress image library, you can use that image’s File URL in the green highlighted part of the widget code. You should download and save the graphic, and upload it yourself for your use rather than directly linking to my graphics locations, as my graphics links may change or be deleted at any time.

Product Specific Affiliate Links

-On the E-Junkie website (http://www.e-junkie.com/) click the Affiliates tab at the top right.

-Select affiliate admin on the menu bar under the tabs.

-Under Manage Your Affiliate Account select Get Affiliate Code.

-At the Select Merchant pull-down menu, select Full Stop. E-Book Publishing and click the Get Affiliate Code button.

-At the Get Product Specific Affiliate Links pull down menu, select the individual e-book and click the Get Affiliate Code button.

-Copy the code provided and use it as a direct link to that e-book product page.

Again, it is the affiliate’s responsibility to ensure that your links include the proper codes and function properly so that sales resulting from your referrals are properly and automatically reported to E-Junkie and credited to you.  Douglas J. Klostermann, Douglas J. Klostermann Photography, and Full Stop take no responsibility for improperly functioning links and / or referral sales not credited to an affiliate by E-Junkie.

Affiliate graphics, including book covers and banners that you can download and place on your website and blog, have been moved to their own page listed below. I also provide zip files with the cover and images, for each new book, upon request.
