Our vision is to make HereAbout the most vibrant localization
site in South Africa. We want people to come to HereAbout because
they know that it will be the most up-to-date source of information
for what is happening round about them. To do that we need to list
venues, events and specials wherever people live and visit. We
cannot do that by ourselves, so we would like to enlist your
help. Here is how we are going to go About it - we are going
to pay you! That's right - pay you!
Basically, if you
register, we will provide you with a reference number. You
will then receive a commission for every advertiser who upgrades
places to premium listings on the site using your reference number.
Our current commission is set at 20%.
How will this work?
When you register, the e-mail confirming your registration will
include your reference number - something like HA12345. If you tell
someone about the site or refer someone through your listing who
subsequently wishes to register and upgrade, they will have the
opportunity to enter your reference number when they register.
We will review registrations and listings on a quarterly basis,
and will pay out 20% of the subscription fees directly to you. You
will notice that when you register, we only ask for the minimum
amount of information about you. When your commission (in a
particular review period) is greater than R100, we will contact you
using the email address you supplied at registration and ask you to
contact our administration staff. They will take your payment
details, pay your commission and provide you with proof of
payment.
If you want to see how your commission earnings are going you
will be able to do so by logging in to HereAbout and navigating to
the commissions page. This page will present you with a
report showing who has registered using your reference, what
we have paid you to date and the current commission balance.
Incentives
From time to time we will be running competitions and incentive
programs. We will contact you about these if you have requested
updates from us, but they will be advertised on the HereAbout
website, via twitter (@hereabout or @MidgetApp) and on our facebook
page.
The small print
- Commission reviews will be undertaken on the first working day
of February, May, August and December in any year.
- Commission will be paid on subscriptions received by
advertisers quoting your reference number.
- Commission will not be paid until the cumulative commission
balance is at least R100 (one hundred South African Rand).
- We will make every effort to contact you on the email with
which you registered to confirm your banking details, but if we
cannot, the onus rests on you to contact us if you feel there is
commission owing to you which has not been paid.
- Commission rates are subject to change, but you will be
informed.
