Some of the instructions below apply to experienced affiliates. All of the instructions apply to beginners. Please read carefully.
First of all, let me state the basics:
To sell RealBenefits Software, you need to be (or become) a RegNow Affiliate.
To sell your own software and for RealBenefits to sell your software, you need to be (or become) a RegNow Vendor.
Vendors are the software makers (creators). Vendors usually sell their own software direct to the public and allow affiliate websites to also sell it to the public. Legally, the vendor is the wholesaler.
Affiliates are the software resellers who sell other companies software. i.e. - the affiliates sell the vendors' software. Legally, the affiliate is the retailer.
RegNow is the online order processor. They process the customers credit card, then give them the download link to the Registered Software product, then direct wire transfer your money to your bank account and RealBenefits money to our bank account.
Some companies, like RealBenefits, are both vendors and affiliates. RealBenefits being a vendor allows us to sell our own software direct to the public at our website and allows you (as an affiliate) to sell our software at your website. RealBenefits being an affiliate allows us to sell other companies' software (your software, if you have any) at our website. Being both a vendor and an affiliate gives RealBenefits the flexibility to serve our needs and your needs.
We do not give you any instructions for becoming a RegNow Vendor because we assume that if you were sophisticated enough to make a software product, then you don't need our advice for becoming a vendor. We do give instructions below for how to become an affiliate so you can sell RealBenefits Software at your website [and also you can then sell other companies (other vendors) software].
The instructions below are step-by-step about how to become a RegNow affiliate and then how to setup your download and sales webpages (two or three pages on your website) and links and cookies. Even experienced affiliates might benefit from the instructions about how to properly setup links and cookies to get your commissions. Beginners will need to real all the instructions carefully.

Pad Files:
Pad files are an advanced shortcut for experienced online software resellers. If you are a novice, then skip this short section on pad files and go to the Introduction section below.
If you are experienced with pad files, then you'll appreciate the convenience of using ours. However, you should still read the rest of the "Getting Started Info" to make sure you get your cookies setup correctly so you get paid. It is our experience that many experienced resellers don't set up their cookies properly for the free downloads. The free downloads are needed to promote and sell software, but getting cookies setup properly is crucial to you getting paid your commissions.
We have 3 products, but at this time only have two pad files. I will make a new pad file for the 3rd product (Super Am) as soon as I have time.

Step 1: Go to http://www.RegNow.com and sign up to be an affiliate. This is free, but may take an hour of your time.
Step 2: Read and Do everything below:
From RealBenefits Author:
I no longer have time to submit RealBenefits software to affiliate websites. We have over 105 affiliates. New affiliates are welcome to use our pad files to set up our products, or you are welcome to copy-paste anything you want from http://www.RealBenefitsSoftware.com and its sub-pages. After you copy-paste it, you may alter links, urls, anchor text as needed to add your cookie, sell software, etc. Step-by-step instructions about cookies in links comes later in these instructions.
Of particular usefulness to you are our Downloads webpage (parts of it),
our Product Line webpage (parts or all of it), and our Buy Page (much of it).Copy anything you think will help you sell software,
but change the links to the Free Trial Version and Shareware Versions to add your cookies so you get paid.RegNow does not provide the links to our Free Trial Version and Shareware Versions. In the next instructional webpage (about links and cookies), I will give you the links to our Free Trial Version and Shareware Versions and show you how to add your cookie at the same time.
You can't sell much software if you don't allow customers to try the Free Trial Version. i.e. - you need to provide Free Trial Version with your cookie to succeed.
You will also sell more if you have a More Info link to RealBenefits homepage.
A properly setup More Info link will add your cookie (to the customers computer) so you get paid.How to have the Free Trial Version link and More Info link add your cookie is explained in the getting started webpage about cookies and links.
RegNow is good about providing links to our Registered Versions. So I don't need to go into that.====================================================
Our 2 most successful affiliates are http://www.ExcelBusinessTools.com and http://www.Ozgrid.com
Those 2 affiliates sell more of our products than our other 105 affiliates combined.
Why? Good product setups (including cookies). They offer the Free Trial Versions and add their cookie at the same time. Also, they have "More Info" links to RealBenefits that add their affiliate cookie. They are also very good at promoting their websites on Google and elsewhere. They also offer good customer service to their software buyers and their software developers. They keep their websites up to date.
The Free Trial Version and "More Info" links are the main factor in giving customers the confidence to buy. Without those, you will not succeed.
Our unsuccessful affiliates are those who did not add the Free Trial Version link, or did so, but failed to setup their cookie in the links.
