The MusicSpace.com affiliate program allows you to earn free cash by referring customers to our web site. Once you apply and are accepted into our program, simply place qualified text links and/or banners to the MusicSpace.com site on your web site.

Can a website based outside the United States become a MusicSpace.com Affiliate?
MusicSpace.com only ships within the United States, Canada, and U.S. territories. Therefore, we generally only accept affiliate web sites that operate within those same areas. Exceptions may be made on a case-by-case basis.

What if I operate more than one web site?
You can have multiple sites under one affiliate account. After you join our program, you will be able to create "Sub Affiliate" accounts through the LinkShare interface. Each sub-account will have a unique linking code and individual reporting.

Where should I place the links on my web site?
You should place links where they are easy for your visitors to find, such as your homepage or navigation bar. Be creative! Remember, the more accessible and visible your links are, the more likely your visitors will make a purchase.

How often should I update my links?
You should update your links to MusicSpace.com frequently. Use LinkShare.com and our email newsletters to get ideas for new graphics and banner links. Since we are constantly adding new products, you should continually refresh your links to fit the interests of your visitors and promote our most advertised items.

Can I use the MusicSpace.com name and logo on my site?
Yes, definitely. Users want to know they are buying from a company they can trust. Please do not, however, alter our logo or graphics in any way. You can find a variety of logos, banners and buttons to use on your site on LinkShare.com.

Can I include specific information about your products on my site?
Yes. We encourage you to use content from our site, especially titles, cover images, track listings and product descriptions. Use this valuable content to enhance your own web site and provide a great value to your users. We do not, however, recommend listing product prices, seeing as they are subject to change. Customers may get confused if they see a product listed for one price on your site and a differing price on ours.

TRACKING AND PAYMENT

How are orders tracked and credited to my site?
All links from your site to MusicSpace.com contain a unique Site ID, so that every time a user comes to us via your links, we know to credit your account when a purchase is made. Make sure that all links on your site are created through LinkShare.com and remain unaltered, to ensure that your sales are tracked correctly.

How much will I be paid?
You will be paid a commission rate between 8% - 10% for every shipped MusicSpace.com order (excluding tax, shipping & applicable discounts) generated through your website. More specifically, you will receive:

8% commission on monthly affiliate sales (up to $1,500.00)
9% commission on monthly affiliate sales ($1,501.00 - $3,500.00)
10% commission on monthly affiliate sales ($3,501.00 or more)

So the more you sell, the more you will earn!

Approximately 30 days following the end of each month, we will send you a check for the commission earned on qualified products shipped during the previous month.

How will I monitor my sales from day to day?
You will have access to numerous online sales reports on LinkShare.com. Traffic & click data is provided on a real-time basis. Order information is reported after products are shipped. Use these reports as a tool to increase your sales and profitability.

back to top

I operate more than one web site. Can you track them separately, but pay me with one commission check?
Yes. You can have multiple sites under one affiliate account. You can create links and generate reports specifically for each site, but you will receive one commission check for all of your sites.

back to top

What about product returns?
If a user tracked from your website returns a product for a refund, or if credit card charges are reversed due to a dispute or fraud, your account will be debited for any commission earned on that transaction.
