AVKO's Commissioned Sales Program

The simplest way to earn commissions for AVKO sales is to enroll in the program (e-mail Brian@avko.org to request enrollment).  At the point of enrollment, you will be able to log in and get your unique link.  This is also where you can go to check how much you have earned to-date.  Share the link that's created especially for you with others: in your e-mail signature, on your blog, in targeted e-mails, on your website, etc.  You can turn any banner or graphic into a clickable link with the HTML code that's provided.  Please see the Retailer Resources section for additional AVKO logos, banners, etc.  Your commissions will be sent to your PayPal account; under special circumstances, we may send a check. 

For more active marketing, we have free promotional materials that you can request.  To request promotional materials or download advertising graphics, please see the retailers' section

Amazon Advantage Program:

You can earn money by selling anything that is sold on Amazon from your website, using their Advantage programAVKO's materials are listed on Amazon as well.  For any materials sold on Amazon, Amazon will send you your commissions.  See AVKO's Amazon Store.

Commission Schedule:

A commission of 10% will be awarded for all referred memberships and retail materials when the customer puts your PayPal e-mail address in the "Referrer" box for during membership sign-up or in the "Comments" box for other sales. 

If you would like to sell the books yourself and not just refer the materials, you may become an individual curriculum consultant and earn more money.  Order books at wholesale pricing (50-55% discount) and keep the profits.  No minimum order is required.

Earn $20 when you land a new, local retail partner when they place an order of at least $200.00 (after retailer discounts).  Earn additional bonuses for large-volume orders. 

Earn $100 when you land an international retail partner or national bookseller (including online sellers) when they place an order of at least $500.00 (after retailer discounts).  Earn additional bonuses for large-volume orders.

Earn $20 when an Institution (school, local literacy center, etc.) becomes an Institutional Member of AVKO or starts utilizing the AVKO materials.

No paperwork to fill out or tax forms for annual commissions of less than $600.00. Disbursements of commissions will occur at least every two weeks from AVKO's PayPal account to yours.  AVKO's PayPal e-mail address is PayPal @ avko.org (without spaces).

Helpful Hints:

  • Membership is the easiest sell because of its features: discounts on all purchases from us for a year, downloadable e-books that are helpful in creating a language arts curriculum or supplementing one, and the supplemental resources (readings for comprehension, newsletters, blogs, worksheets).
  • I will be very impressed by ability to secure schools and new retail partners.  See our retailer resources for more information, advertising graphics, product graphics, wholesale information, promotional materials, etc.
  • Don McCabe, the author of all of the materials, will be a Featured Speaker at two large and prominent homeschooling conferences. The FPEA is in May in Orlando. The SHEA is in September in Anaheim (Disneyland). Additionally, the DVD version of Seq. Spelling 1 will be debuting at the May conference. Many people and stores will be very interested in this.
  • It will be easiest for you to get new distributors in the areas where there is already a lot of buzz generated / name recognition (Texas, California, Michigan, New York, Florida, Georgia, Carolinas, etc.). I will be more impressed by ability to secure new retail partners in "uncharted territory," including international distributors (Canada should be easy), especially in areas close to our border.
  • Feel free to download these promotional materials and reproduce them / e-mail them as attachments to new contacts. Our catalog is online.
  • You may feel free to embed the videos on websites that you may own / are webmaster of / or your personal blogs.
  • You may feel free to add our Buy Now buttons to any websites as well -ask if you don't know how.
  • Be sure to get a Paypal account if you don't already have one so that your contacts can give it as your referral code.
  • If you are interested in access to our Google Analytics reports (recently switched over from their old code), please let me know. You will need a Google Account to access these reports. If you are really interested in marketing for us, learning more about marketing, or selling the materials on your own time for commissions, this is a great way to learn much quickly about us, our customers, and surfing habits of our web users.
  • Feel free to list our contact information in various online directories for homeschooling, educational materials, disability services, etc. Report back to me what you have done.
  • For distributors who are interested in our materials but need more information, we are of course willing to send review copies of materials to them (including promotional materials -brochures, pamphlets, catalogs, our video CDs and DVDs -and one of each of our products that they are interested in). Review copies apply to distributors -not individual persons. However, we are more than willing to supply review copies of materials for individuals who have prominent review sites, blogs, or educational clout if they are wanting to review it, write an article about it, etc
  • Your ideas for marketing strategy are welcome. Suggestions for the website are also welcome.
