Q: What is USSMAG.com, and the Agent Affiliate Program?
A: USSMAG.com is a part of University Subscription Service, the number one magazine discount
agency in the US for college students and educators. USS has been offering the lowest authorized
introductory rates for the educational community since 1974.
Q: How many Magazines does USS offer?
A: USS is authorized by the publishers to sell over 500 popular magazines titles.
Q: Who is eligible to join the USS Agent Affiliate Program?
A: Anyone with a website that is visited by college students and educators. USS does reserve
the right to exclude any sites that have content that we deem inappropriate. You can see our
Agent Affiliate Agreement for a better explanation of those kinds of sites.
Q: Why does USS want me to join the Agent Affiliate Program?
A: Because you know your visitors like to read. USS has a magazine to fit almost every taste.
With the Agent Affiliate Program you will have the ability to offer magazine titles that your
users will want to buy.
Q: What it the cost for joining the Agent Affiliate Program?
A: Absolutely nothing. This is the perfect way to earn FREE $$$!
Q: Why don't I just deal with the publishers myself?
A: Good question. Of course, you could spend a lot of time tracking down each publisher,
setting up different arrangements with each one, with varying commission rates. That,
however, is time consuming, and will eat away at your net profit. The advantage to
working with USS is that we have already worked out all of the arrangements with the
publishers, and can offer your users one stop shopping for hundreds of magazines,
paying you top dollar for each order.
Q; How does your program differ from some of the other magazine affiliate programs?
A: The USS Agent Affiliate Program pays you for every magazine that you sell on your site,
since your commission is a percentage of the paid order. You can place the banner links
anywhere on your web site, using the stock banners on our banner page, or even customize
by picking specific magazines by copying the covers that we have pictured on our site.
Q: My site is international. Can I still participate?
A: So long as your site is aimed at US buyers, you can participate in the program. Keep
in mind that the magazine subscriptions prices are good only for buyers in the USA.
Q: How much do you pay your online affiliate members?
A: You will earn 20% of all paid orders to USS. See the Agent Affiliate Agreement for
complete explanation of payments.
Q: How do I get paid?
A: When your site is approved by USS for participation, we will e-mail you a code to place
within your banner or text link. You will be paid 20% of the paid order in US dollars when your
visitor clicks through to USSMag.com based upon this code. Once a month we will calculate your
commission and forward you a check (there is a minimum check amount of $20; any money due
to you will just get rolled over until you reach the $20). Checks are cut around the 10th of the
month, and sent via U.S. Mail.
Q; How do you know that the magazine order came from my site?
A: Upon approval as a USS Agent Affiliate Program member, we will issue a unique agent code.
This code will appear within the web address that will appear in the baner of text link that you
place on your site. This unique code is entered with the magazine order, for proper tracking
purposes. Once a month, we will mail you a progress report of your link(s).
Q: Does USS offer help in setting up my link?
A: Of course. Our knowledgeable staff is ready to offer you any assistance you need in
setting up your link to USSMag.com
Q: If approved for Affiliate participation, can I use the "USSmag" name and images?
A: As long as you do not alter the logo or images, you are given a short term license to use
them. You can even use the magazine covers if you'd like. Go to our banners page to view
the banners and text links.
Q: Since I operate multiple web sites, can I have them tracked separately, but be paid on one check?
A: Sure can. All we need to do is set up unique agent codes for each site (each subject to
approval, of course), and have them read to the main agent number that you choose.
Contact us for more information.
Q: This is absolutely cool. When can sign up?
A: Just read the Agreement, fill out an application, and send it off to USS. We'll take care of the rest.
