How do I apply to run Zune and other Microsoft Affiliate offers?
How long will it take for you to review my application?Typically the review process takes 72 hours. We are currently accepting applications from affiliates world wide. What are the eligibility requirements to participate?Ideal participants in the Zune Affiliate program include well-known and respected sites, blogs, niche content sites, membership sites, comparison shopping sites and everything in between. Please see Terms for specific website requirements. Will I have to pay taxes on my earnings?US tax law requires that we obtain a valid taxpayer ID number (EIN or W9 form with social security number for sole proprietors) from every affiliate before payment can be issued. You will receive information on where to find the appropriate tax form after you are accepted into the program, and you will receive a 1099 for earnings as tax law requires. For international residents, please submit a W8 form. When do I get paid?Affiliate payments are released 15 days after the month in which commissions were earned when affiliates have a tax ID on file with us, when a minimum of $100 has been earned. So for example, if you earned the minimum commissions in January and have a tax form on file with us, payments will be processed to you for January's earnings on February 15. How do I know how much I have earned?Once approved, you can login to access your account and get statistics and payout information for every offer you run. Do you handle all of the transactions – or do I have to get a merchant account and start taking orders at my site?We handle all transactions through our site. We just need you to send us traffic - we'll do the rest. I have other questions; who can answer them?Please send email to affiliat@microsoft.com with any questions you may have. |
