Affiliate resources Save My Marriage Today promotion rules
Promote it honestly and you'll never need to check with us
Thank you for promoting Save My Marriage Today. These rules keep our customers happy and our refunds down, and most of them protect your audience and your own accounts too. If something isn't covered here, ask us at affiliates@
Promote it on your own site, your own list and your own profiles
- Your own website or blog, including review articles
A quality site with original content. A thin page filled only with the free articles from this area doesn't count.
- Email to your own list of people who signed up to hear from you
- Your own social media profiles, pages, videos and boards
In groups and forums, follow the group's own rules on links.
- Google and Bing ads, after we have reviewed your website
Write to us before you start a Google or Bing campaign. We'll check that your site follows these rules, and we can help with marketing and optimization tips while we do.
Search ads that break the rules below get disapproved, and they can cost both of us.
Ten things that will get a promotion removed
- Bidding on our brand names, such as "Save My Marriage Today"
That includes close variations and misspellings of the name.
It raises the price of our own name and takes clicks that would have reached us anyway.
- Using our brand words in your ad copy
Keep "Save My Marriage Today" and similar phrases out of your ad headlines, descriptions and display paths.
- Advertising straight to any Save My Marriage Today address, or straight to your HopLink
Send ad clicks to your own website, and link to us from there.
Direct links are poor marketing practice, and ad networks are likely to deny those ads.
- Presenting yourself as the owner or creator of Save My Marriage Today
You can use Amy Waterman's name in a review, but never write as if you were Amy, Andrew or the Save My Marriage Today team.
Readers have a right to know who is recommending the course.
- Negative marketing, including words like "scam" or "fraud" in your ads or copy
Those words attract the wrong searches and mislead readers about the course.
- Spam, or email to anyone who didn't ask to hear from you
No unsolicited email and no bought, rented or shared lists.
Spam complaints hurt your sender reputation and get links to our site filtered for everyone.
- Cookie stuffing, forced clicks, pop-unders, adware and toolbars
They set your cookie without a genuine click, so the sales they claim aren't really yours.
- Fake reviews, invented testimonials and made-up results
They mislead people who are already going through a hard time.
- Fake scarcity, deadlines, countdown timers and "price goes up" lines
The price and the offer don't change on a timer, so a deadline would be untrue.
- Look-alike domains, and fake news pages dressed up as journalism
Both mislead visitors about who they are dealing with.
Use our material as it is, or your own true story
- Use the emails, posts, banners and articles in this area as they are, or tell your own true story
Ask us for anything special, such as a banner size or an email for a particular audience.
- Don't change prices, claims or the guarantee
Prices and terms in the swipes match the order page, and edits can make them wrong.
- Describe what the course teaches, and never promise what will happen to a reader's marriage
Every marriage is different, and a promise you can't keep comes back as a refund.
Claims you can make about the course
Stick to the first list and you'll never need to check with us.
Say these freely
- Product facts: the 158-page book in 20 chapters with 38 exercises, Book 2 for marriages in extreme crisis, the personal email consultation, the five bonus books, the $49.95 price and the 60-day money-back guarantee
- It was written by Amy Waterman and Andrew Rusbatch
- Amy Waterman is a professional writer who specializes in relationship guidance and marriage
- The exercises are marked Do Yourself or Do Together, so one spouse can start alone
- Real customer quotes, word for word, but only the ones used in this area's emails, posts and articles
Say these with care
- Outcomes, framed as what a named reader wrote, such as "Paul from Seattle wrote that..."
- The course's own advice, in its name: "The book says a trial separation should never be a first option"
Never say these
- That the course is guaranteed to save a marriage, or will work in a set time
- Numbers of marriages saved, success rates or customer totals
- That the course replaces counseling or therapy, or that Amy or Andrew is a counselor, therapist or psychologist
- Rankings such as "#1", "best-selling" or "most successful"
- "As seen in" or press claims of any kind
- Fake scarcity, deadlines or price rises
- Testimonials you made up, or quotes you changed
- Anything that suggests you are Amy, Andrew or Save My Marriage Today
- Comparisons with other marriage programs by name
Abuse, addiction and depression. When you write about a marriage affected by abuse, add one short safety line, such as:
"If you are in danger or there is abuse in your home, please contact your local emergency services or a domestic abuse helpline first."
Tell your readers you earn a commission
Make it clear to your list or your audience that you are paid to promote Save My Marriage Today. Say it near the link and before the click, never only in a footer or a pile of hashtags. Check the rules where you live; in the US that's the FTC's Endorsement Guides, and in the UK the CAP Code.
"I may earn a commission if you buy through my link, at no extra cost to you."
"#ad"
Put #ad or #affiliate at the start of the post, or switch on the platform's paid-partnership label.
"Quick note: if you buy through my link, I may earn a commission at no extra cost to you."
Say it early in the video and write the short line in the description.
"I may earn a commission if you buy through my link, at no extra cost to you."
Keep it in the email, near the end.
"This article contains affiliate links. If you buy through them, I may earn a commission at no extra cost to you."
At the top of the page, and again next to the first link.
You can add a bonus of your own
- You can offer your own bonus to people who buy through your link
Describe it accurately and make clear that it comes from you, not from Save My Marriage Today.
Buyers need to know who to ask for it.
- Your bonus can't make claims the course doesn't make
Anything you promise alongside the course reads as part of the offer.
Ad platforms, email law and privacy
- You're responsible for meeting your ad platform's own policies
Each network has its own rules on relationship ads and affiliate links, and they change.
- Only email people who agreed to hear from you, and include an unsubscribe link
Follow the email and privacy laws where you and your readers live.
Consent and an easy way out keep your list healthy and keep you within the law.
For additional rules and best practice, please read ClickBank's Promotional Guidelines.
