So we’re creating this page to answer How is P.O.D. Resource HQ funded, and Why it matters to you!
Why is P.O.D. Resource HQ Free?
As a beginner or small business, you often don’t have a large budget to spend on tools and training. However, those two things are crucial for success.
Our goal is to help individuals, like yourself, find the resources you need to succeed in your Print on Demand business.
Simply put, we created P.O.D. Resource HQ to offer users what we wish we had when we first started out.
How Is P.O.D. Resource HQ Funded?
We believe in being honest and transparent with our audience. In our opinion, that’s the only way to build a community.
Running a website like P.O.D. Resource HQ requires investments in hosting, web services and content creation.
We work hard to gather and provide information on tools and resources to make your journey into the Print on Demand world a little easier.
If we are unable to make a little money, we would be unable to continue maintaining the site.
Referral (Affiliate) Fees
Currently, our primary source of funding is from referral fees.
We earn referral fees when you purchase or subscribe to services from some of the companies that we have listed on our site.
We do our best to provide accurate information about the products and services that we list in order to provide as much value as possible to our readers.
This monetization method is called affiliate marketing. The biggest brands on the internet offer affiliate programs such as Amazon, eBay, Google, etc. Many of your favorite sites use affiliate marketing to pay the bills.
Sometimes you will see banner ads like these:
Other times, you will see a special link unique to each website that track referrals such as:
https://www.https://podresourcehq.com/refer/hostgator/
http://www.csshero.org/?rid=5242
Other referral links may be embedded into into a sites URL listing provided on our site.
When you click on these links, you are tagged with a special cookie to track the referral. If you end up buying the product, then they pay us a referral fee.
The referral fees vary for each product. For a book that you may buy at Amazon, we might earn $1. For a subscription to a service or site, we might earn a percentage of the subscription fee..
Question #1 – Will it Cost Me More Money?
No, absolutely not. In some cases, our deals may actually save you money due to some vendors providing exclusive discounts to our readers.
Question #2 – Do You See My Personal Details?
Nope. We don’t see any personal information i.e name, email, address, credit card, etc.
The only thing we see is that an anonymous user made a purchase on date/time and which product they bought.
