Nuggets of Wisdom Affiliate Program

Affiliate Terms

Thank you for your interest in the Nuggets of Wisdom Affiliate Program. We are grateful for homeschool parents, educators, and creators who share Nuggets of Wisdom resources with their communities.

This program allows approved affiliates to earn commissions by referring customers to Nuggets of Wisdom products and curriculum.


Commission Structure

Approved affiliates earn commissions when a customer makes a purchase using their affiliate link.

Current commission rates are:

20% commission on eligible Nuggets of Wisdom products created and owned by Nuggets of Wisdom
• 10% commission on Living Lights Curriculum
8% commission on eligible contractor or partner products sold through the Nuggets of Wisdom website

Commission rates may change during special promotions or campaigns.


Cookie Duration

Affiliate links use a 45-day tracking cookie.

If a visitor clicks your affiliate link and makes a purchase within 45 days, you will receive credit for that sale.


 

Payment Schedule

Affiliate payouts are issued monthly on the 27th.

Payments are only issued for completed purchases after the refund window has passed.

At this time, payouts are issued by check mailed to the address on file or PayPal payments will be issued.  *Any fees associated with PayPal payouts will be the responsibility of the affiliate receiving the payment. These fees will be deducted from the affiliate’s payout.

Affiliates are responsible for ensuring their mailing information is accurate.

Affiliate commissions are only paid on completed sales. If a purchase is refunded, cancelled, charged back, or disputed, the corresponding commission will be reversed or deducted from the affiliate’s account balance.


Contributor & Affiliate Commission Policy

Some Nuggets of Wisdom products are collaborative products created with contributing authors or curriculum partners.

These products include but are not limited to:

Living Lights Curriculum
Nuggets of Wisdom Subscription Bundles

Contributors to these products may receive a revenue share or royalty as part of their contributor agreement.

To maintain fair compensation across the program:

Contributors may not receive both a contributor revenue share and an affiliate commission on the same product sale.

If a contributor promotes a product they helped create using an affiliate link, the contributor will receive their normal contributor revenue share only, and no additional affiliate commission will be issued for that product sale.

Contributors are still eligible to earn affiliate commissions on all other Nuggets of Wisdom products where they do not already receive a revenue share.

Affiliate commissions apply to the initial purchase only unless otherwise stated.
