How it’ll all work

Let’s get into details. Here’s how Healing Through Writing will work:

The event will run from April 14th - 17th. 

• Leading up to the summit, we’ll have about two weeks of promotion (March 31 - April 14).

• I’ll provide swipe copy and graphics to make it all easy. As an affiliate, how much, and how, you promote is entirely up to you, but if you’re not sure, there’ll be guidelines and swipe files in the Resource Vault to make it super easy. 

•  I recommend at least one email to your list, one or two ‘PS’ notes in your newsletter, and if you use social media, a share or two. However, it’s really up to your goals with affiliate commissions, how you’d like to support the speakers’ visibility and this beautiful event.

Let’s be a rising tide, lifting each other up!

During the promotion phase (starting March 31st) and as the festival is running (April 14-17), we’ll promote the festival’s All Access Pass. This includes the replays, notes and action steps for each presentation, extra live sessions, and any additional bonuses that are included.

This will provide wonderful value and additional healing and writing support to attendees, while making the work of promoting worthwhile by helping you to bring in affiliate commissions. Win win :-)

After the festival, I’ll offer my transformational memoir-writing course, The Art of Personal Mythmaking, to attendees who have shown interest. You’ll earn a $300 USD commission on any sales from attendees you’ve referred to the Festival that sign up. 

(If you want to promote but don’t want to be an affiliate (it happens), that’s super nice. And, I’m also happy to donate that affiliate $$ to a charity/cause of your choice if you’d like to - just lmk). The charity I’m donating to for this Festival is the Canadian Indian and Residential School Survivors Society.

1. HEALING THROUGH WRITING FESTIVAL ALL ACCESS PASS CONTRIBUTION

The All Access Pass will be a value-packed addition to the presentations, and as well as longterm access to the presentation and workshop recordings, it will include bonuses such as:

• Trainings and workshops

• Workbooks

• Courses (big or small)

• 1-month memberships

• eBooks

2. PROMOTION (timeframe: March 31 - April 14)

The power of a virtual event comes from a group of experts coming together for a single cause. The joint promotion that happens because of that is a huge benefit to everyone involved.

You’ll want to share using your affiliate link so you’re credited the 50% commission that will come from any sale of the festival upgrades (the All Access Passes) and the additional commissions that come from purchase of my transformational memoir-writing course, The Art of Personal Mythmaking, after the festival.

You’ll find swipe copy and graphics in the Resource Vault below to make it easy.

• IMPORTANT: Do NOT edit the affiliate link ThriveCart gives you or update to the prettier version of the link you get by pasting it into your browser and hitting enter. Anything other than the link given will not track your referrals. However, you can create a pretty link that leads to the original link given by ThriveCart with something like the Pretty Links plugin or bit.ly.

I’m happy to collaborate to help you promote. For example, I can take over your Instagram stories, come on your podcast, write a guest newsletter, or do a live in your online group (all with your affiliate link) to help you get some extra conversions!

It’s my pleasure to uplift all of us together :-)

Affiliate Details

The commission structure is as follows:

• 50% for all affiliates

The pricing structure will be:

All-Access Pass

• $65 for three hours after initial opt-in

• $85 from March 31st - April 14th

• $155 from April 15th - 19th

To make it as easy as possible for you to share (and generate extra income), the Resource Vault includes things like email swipe copy, social media copy, and social share graphics. However, you’re more than welcome to write your own copy and even run your own ads. On average, the kind of online event/summit process I’m following has offers that convert at between 8-20% (well above the industry average).

I’m also willing to take over your Instagram stories, do a podcast interview, write a guest newsletter, or do a live in your online group (all with your affiliate link) to help you get some extra signups!

Just remember to use your affiliate link, which you can create or look up here. (Again, do not use anything other than the link ThriveCart gives you.)

Payouts for sales referred will be made on May 20th.

As with all affiliate promotions, be sure to disclose that you’re an affiliate when sharing with your audience. This can be as simple as writing “I receive a commission on any All Access Pass sales (but the festival is free!) and I only promote the work I believe in.”
