Brand your own eBook...

Earn money with the FREE SimplyWholesale brandable wholesale guide! The 'UK-Trader's UK Wholesale Guide' (SimplyWholesale abbreviated version) gives the reader a small 'taster' of what to expect if they join the main SimplyWholesale website. The eBook contains details of a number of UK wholesalers along with several links back to the SimplyWholesale site and it is these links which are the key to earning you money!

Each link to the SimplyWholesale website can be branded with YOUR UNIQUE AFFILIATE CODE which means that if someone clicks on one of the links in a copy of your eBook and then joins SimplyWholesale, you will earn a commission of 50% of their membership fee!

The branded wholesale eBook is completely free so you can distribute it in any number of different ways - via your newsletter mailing list, to your eBay customers, from a website and so on.....

To get started, just follow the simply instructions below:

1.  First you need to join the SimplyWholesale Affiliate Program.  This is free and will take about 30 seconds of your time.  To find out more about the program and to sign up, click here (opens new window).

2. Next, using your affiliate login details, login to the affiliates area using the login box in the left-hand column on this page (you might want to open a new window to do this so that you can continue to read these instructions).

3. Once you have logged in, click on the link which says 'Obtain your unique linking code and banner graphics - click here'.  You will then be taken to a page which has a list of linking codes and banners on it. 

For the purposes of branding the eBook, you are only interested in the first link on the page which will look something like this:

Your basic affiliate link (ideal for using in emails or as a simple link from your web page)
http://www.simplywholesale.co.uk/amember/go.php?r=101

Make a note of the number right at the end of the URL - 101 in the example above - this is your unique affiliate ID.  NOTE THE ABOVE LINK IS AN EXAMPLE ONLY - YOUR AFFILIATE ID WILL BE A DIFFERENT NUMBER TO 101.

4. Now, download the branding package from the link below.  The package contains just two files - the brandable eBook and the branding software.  The download size is 395kb and it should take just a few seconds to download.

5. The package is in 'zipped' format so you will need to unzip it using either the default Windows zip software or a utility such as Winzip. Note that although the .pdf eBook can be read on both PCs and Macs, the branding software will only work on a Windows computer.  In other words, the eBook file that the branding software creates is fine for both types of computer but you will have to carry out the initial branding exercise on a PC.

6. Once unzipped, you will see that you have two files:  PDFBrand.exe and sw_branding_copy.pdf.  Double-click on the PDFBrand.exe file to open the software.  You will see a white space with the instructions 'Drag your brandable PDF file into this window'.  Do this by left-clicking on the sw_branding_copy.pdf file and keeping the left mouse key held down.  Then move the cursor/file into the white area and take your finger off the left mouse button.

7.  The software will process the .pdf file and ask you to enter your unique affiilate ID.  This is the number you made a note of a moment ago.  Just type the number into the appropriate box and then click the 'BRAND!' button at the top of the branding software.

8.  Your .pdf file will then be branded with your affiliate ID and you will be reminded to save the new file.  This is VERY IMPORTANT!  Before closing the branding software, you must save your new file.  You can do this by clicking the floppy disk button at the top of the branding software window.  You will be asked to name your new file and don't forget to make a note of where on your computer you have saved the file to.

9.  That's it!  If you open your newly branded .pdf file you will now be able to check that all of the links to the SimplyWholesale website include your unique affiliate ID.  You can do this by opening the .pdf and holding your mouse over each link to SimplyWholesale.  The re-direction URL will be displayed and you will see your unique affiliate ID number at the end.

10.  All you need to do now is to start distributing the eBook.  You can login to your SimplyWholesale affiliate account at any time to check your visitor numbers and sales and we pay affiliate commissions by Paypal every month!
