Greetings and Welcome to Weemart's Affiliated Merchant Programs!

This is the first release of our training manual which aims to answer questions and solve problems you may have experienced in relation to your participation in the affiliate program so far.

To begin with please understand that you will not find advice here about, "How can I earn $2,000 from the program during the first month, without making any effort?" This manual gives essential knowledge only. Its purpose is to specify the basic directions for activity, to structure the necessary information, and to advise on making correct priorities. The rest depends on your talent, desire and diligence.

The primary goal of Store Owners in the "Merchant Membership" program is the creation and promotion of their own sites for the attraction of the maximum possible number of customers. Our inventory has the potential to grow and change with each new member.  Therefore, the potential consumer market for our goods is huge - consumers are worldwide.

A certain part of this market are fellow merchants. This share will grow rapidly with the expansion of the Internet, and demand will increase. These are your primary clients. They may eventually total tens of thousands; the number will continually grow. Do you want a small slice from this pie? If each new merchant delivers just four (4) new merchant members then your residual income will total approximately $2,300 monthly after only six months. This is based solely on the commissions you will receive from the monthly website fees of $39.95. In addition, 50% of all sales revenue is paid out to affiliates, you will receive a percentage of this payout; plus you earn 25% commission on every sale made through your storefront - This is not the limit, it is quite realistic for you to earn many times this amount for serious work.

Our stores are currently published in the English language, this can be disappointing for those who speak other languages, but be mindful that our store can support multiple languages and your store can be published in any language you desire. The realistic promotion of sites on the Internet has a number of aspects which demand a certain store of knowledge. But we hope that any supposed difficulties will not frighten you off and this manual will serve to guide you on your way to success!

You can create your Internet–store from your back-office within the Provider Area after registration on http://www.netname4u.com/.

For this purpose you should specify the title of the shop and choose a domain name. A user initially receives an exclusive domain name, free hosting, and several services from Legend Enterprises, Inc.. What is a good name to choose? For example, if your shop will sell antiques it would be logical to include in its name corresponding key words such as: collectible, rare, genuine. It is reasonable to also include the properties of the cards in the name such as: coins, pottery, toys, and also words of a more general meaning such as: USA, online, shop, super and so forth.

From these listed key words it is possible to combine the name for the shop. This name may be joined (rarestuff4sale.com) or separate (it is written using a dash: rare-stuff-4sale.com). In the first case users better perceive the name; the second case is more preferable for search systems, which will better find a site through the enquiry "rare stuff. Therefore, we would recommend dividing domain names, using however, not more than two dashes.

In addition, your link to the World Wide Warehouse is considered a second level domain site which may have a number of objective restrictions in relation to direct promotion opportunities. In particular there are registration complexities in some catalogues because the product pages for the world wide warehouse are already registered with the general warehouse domain. If you add your own products to the WWW, each product is cataloged and searchable by all search engines, so potential customers will be sent directly to your product page. Be sure add the meta tag data for each product to achive an added benefit.

Each Merchant Member's Storefront is a first level domain site, therefore the content of your storefront and its keywords will be the primary influence upon the majority of search systems concerning the delivery of search results for your store. Please be encouraged to modify and directly promote your storefront in any way you desire.

Our web services division is not yet integrated with our membership services site, so you will need to use the following link to enter your choice for the name of your STORE (web address) and access the necessary pages:

After you have chosen all the services that you wish to purchase, proceed to the check-out page (shopping cart), and complete the checkout process.

We are working on a solution to integrate our web services site, but  at this time, you will have to purchase these services (approx. $10) and we will send you a rebate for the entire amount. Your rebate will be sent out to you within 24 Hours of your purchase. You may at any time choose any additional services that you may need ~ But Please Note: The rebate will be for 12 months of the domain name registration service, exclusively (not more than $10).

Once you have registered the domain, it is necessary to associate your domain name with your hosted web space:

1. Go to http://www.netname4u.com/ Click 'My Account' and Log-in using your account number and password for this site.
2. Click 'Hosting & Email'.
3. 'Use Credit' to set-up Free Hosting (or upgrade to an optional paid hosting plan).
4. Choose the domain name you wish to associate with your store.

If you are having trouble, Write to us, and we will help you create the necessary setup.

A successful commercial site should possess first of all, good functionality, ease of use and an attractive design. It is not necessary to always appear in public wearing elegant clothes from Versace but you can be misunderstand if you attend a business meeting in torn jeans and three-year old jogging shoes. In our situation it is absolutely unnecessary to spend large funds on design, but also the result will be bad in the event of an unprofessional design causing irritation and visual aversion. The design should be accurate, precise, and not too "heavy"; it is possible to make it respectable and unpretentious without damage to the buyer’s perception of a site.

Your store consists of several parts that all work together to form the World Wide Warehouse (WWW).

1.) The web services division. This is where the actual state-of-the-art electronic hardware is housed. From here we offer you a variety web based services to facilitate your new business. There is a 24 hour technical support and sales staff to assist you in the purchase and set-up of additional services as you may require.

2.) Design and marketing division. Here, we have an international team available to assist you in the design, creation, and marketing of a unique storefront if you choose.

3.) Technical Development and Internet Security Divisions. Our proprietary software is what makes the WWW possible. This is the technical department that innovates our cutting-edge technology and continually keeps our software ahead of the times.

4.) Individual Merchant Stores. Each merchant's store is made-up of two parts: The wholesale warehouse and the storefront.

Store Set-up:

Warehouse:  Merchants and affiliates cannot change the content of the internal warehouse pages, but as a merchant, you have the power to design the general look of the warehouse. This is accomplished by simply selecting a pre-defined store skin, or creating a custom skin for your exclusive use. Each warehouse skin has a placeholder to include the Customized  Header Banner from your storefront, which makes all the internal pages of your site to appear with the identical header banner.

Storefront:  The 'Design Your Site' section is the place where you will design your storefront page. You may upload your own images or choose a pre-defined Header Banner and certain buttons that will automatically appear throughout your store. You will have complete control to customize your storefront page any way that you may want.

First, you need to design the look of your store: The easiest way is from your back-office within the Provider Area. We give our merchants a number of ready-made sample designs, which allow you to start your store immediately with a prepared site.

To install one of the template designs on the created site do the following:

1. Go to the provider area and log-in.
2. Press the 'Store Skin' link and choose one of the pre-defined templates and click 'SAVE'.
3. That's all there is to it! When your store is opened from your storefront, it will appear with your chosen store skin.
4. If you need custom development please feel free to contact our Merchant Services department for assistance.
   

Second, you need to design the doorway to your store (storefront):

1. Go to the provider area and log-in.
2. Click the 'Design your Site' link.
3. Choose from the pre-existing Buttons and Header Banners (or supply the web address of your own images) and click 'Create HTML'.
4. Copy the resulting code and paste it in a plain text editor:
   - If you use Microsoft Windows, open Notepad (Start > All Programs > Accessories > Notepad).
   - If you use an Apple computer, open TextEdit. Save your file as index.html (all lowercase).

5. Click "Save-As", and name the file "index.htm" and save it.

6. Now go to NetName4u.com and follow the details below:

Another way to design your storefront is to use the "website tonight" program that is provided with your domain-name registration. With this option, you don't need any programing knowledge to create a stand-alone web site to serve as your store-front. You can access "Website Tonight" by logging-in to your hosting account and choosing the 'websites' link.

Click Here if you want to access your Web Hosting Account.

If you want to design your store-front some other way, you can access your free web hosting service by logging-in and choosing the 'hosting & email' link.

You can design your front page to look any way that you want, but be sure to include the "Shop Now" & "Registration" buttons that have been set-up exclusively for your store: This will allow your guests to access the shopping mall or register for a store of their own and a membership of their choosing. The use of these links is necessary to insure that visitors to your site will be recorded as your customer and you will receive the profit for the sale. You can access the Button Codes in your Provider back-office by clicking the 'Design Your Site' link. This page is only a resource area: You can copy the code from this area and paste it in your own website design. Remember, you can create code for your entire front page by selecting your button choices and clicking "Create HTML".
