Hello everyone.

I have recently launched the Stand Up Affiliate Network. I am looking for a select group of people. They must be passionate about SUP, love trying new gear, have a means to share their expertise of SUP, and like to get paid. If this sounds like you, please read on.

The Stand Up Affiliate Network is a network where passionate paddlers can connect with select manufacturers. This is called an affiliate relationship. Essentially, affiliates are commissioned sales people.

Here is how it works.

1.  Sign up to be an affiliate at http://www.standupaffiliate.net (it's free.)

2.  Choose a manufacturer you are interested in.

3.  Purchase product from the manufacturer at a discount using your unique affiliate link.

4.  Use the product, it’s yours.

5.  Share your experience and knowledge about the product with your friends and followers using your unique affiliate link. Think blog, youtube, Vimeo, Facebook, and any other legitimate and honest way you have of sharing your opinion.

6.  When someone clicks on your unique affiliate link and purchases a product, you have made a sale and will receive a commission.

7.  Repeat.

So, you get gear for less, you tell others about it, and you get paid when they like what they hear and buy a product.

Is it legit?
It is legitimate as long as you are honest and transparent. If not, you will be ejected from the Stand Up Affiliate Network.

What manufacturers do you have signed up?
This is a new sport and I have manufacturers signing up every week although not all of them are ready to go. (setting expectations for early adopters) You won’t be disappointed but you will have to sign up to find out.

Who else uses an affiliate sales system?
The list of affiliate programs is very long. I will give you a few you may have heard of.
Amazon, Apple, Zappos, The Gap, Every Airline, Every Credit Card Company, Any company that pays you if you get your friends to sign up... all affiliate programs.

Please, if you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask. This is new for the Stand Up industry. You won’t find another way, short of being sponsored, to make your passion pay.

Sincerely,

John Cawrse
