Promoting Educating AMY

Do Not:

Use false or misleading statements on the benefits of using Educating AMY.

Modify or adjust the Educating AMY wordmark or logo in any sort of marketing material you might create.

What to call yourself

Here are some guidelines around what you can and cannot call yourself within the Educating AMY Affiliate Program.

Do: Say you’re a “Educating AMY Marketing Affiliate” or “Marketing Affiliate”.

Do Not: Refer to yourself as a Partner or that you’ve “partnered with Educating AMY.” This includes press releases, references in videos, listings on your website, or in any other marketing material you may be using.

You will not purchase ads that direct to your site(s) or through an affiliate link that could be considered as competing with Educating AMY’s own advertising, including, but not limited to, our branded keywords. If running ads, you need to direct the ad to your own website (and not to Educatingamy.com or a standalone landing page).

Policies that don’t fit into the other buckets

  1. Survey Participation: We would encourage you to participate in any affiliate-specific NPS surveys, industry surveys, marketing surveys, etc. as we request.
  2. Sharing Placements: When requested, you’ll share the places you’ve used your affiliate link. This includes, but is not limited to, links, screenshots, and email sends.
  3. Purchasing Educating AMY yourself: One of the benefits of the Affiliate Program is we don’t require you to purchase Educating AMY products. Though if you decide to purchase, we require that you do not use your own affiliate link.
  4. You must be FTC compliant and disclose in a clear way before the affiliate link that you will receive commission if someone clicks through and purchases.
