Why was the step by step digital scrapbook Membership Site developed?
For some time I’ve been getting comments from people who are interested in the no mess, creative approach to scrapbooking that is one of the benefits of digital scrapbooking.

Some of them are paper scrapbookers who are finding it difficult to deal with the workspace and storage needs of paper scrapbooking. Some are people who would like to create scrapbooking layouts but don’t really want to get into the paper, scissors and glue scenario.

There are many tutorials around showing digital scrapbooking techniques … I’ve made some of them myself.

But none of them seem to address the needs of the absolute newbie: the person who isn’t comfortable with using graphics editing programs and who doesn’t know the terminology that has grown up around digital scrapbooking.

So I decided to do something about it.

I’ve set up the Step by Step Digital Scrapbook Mentoring Program specifically to help absolute beginners get started in digital scrapbooking.

The Program is based on weekly eclasses which teach the newbie to digital scrapbooking new skills and, using video tutorials show how to apply them. All the digitals scrapbooking kits needed to make the demonstrated layouts are included with the eclass. So there is no barrier to jumping in and getting started.  As well as lots of extra tips and tricks and regular feedback on each student’s progress.

The approach takes each student on a hand holding journey to discover creativity that they may never have realised they possessed. And for the technophobe, it’s an amazing boost to their self confidence as they learn to master their software program and produce wonderful scrapbook layouts that amaze their friends and family.

Why become an affiliate?
Becoming an affiliate of StepByStepDigitalScrapbook.com gives you the opportunity to earn an ongoing passive income.  Every time you recommend the site to someone and they join up, you receive 40% commission for the life of their membership.  Not only this, if that person also recommends the site to someone else and that person joins too, you will receive 10% commission for their membership life as well. This is a great way to earn money every month, for not too much effort.

We value our affiliates because word of mouth and recommendation is the most effective form of marketing known to the human race.  So we reward our affiliates very generously and help them as much as we can. Most of our members have joined as a result of someone else's recommendation, which means they find that the site provides exceptional value and has really helped them.

Typical Affiliate Questions
Here's a list of frequently asked questions to help you determine if joining up as a Step by Step Digital Scrapbook affiliate is for you.

Q. How much will you earn?
Membership is $9 per week. 

We have set up a two tier Affiliate program with a 40/10 split. In essence for every member who signs up with your affiliate link you will receive 40% of $9/week for as long as that member stays in our program. You will also receive 10% of $9/week for any other members that are enrolled by that member (see table below).

As you can see, you only have to have two members sign up using your special affiliate link and you are earning approx $30/month. If you have 10 members sign up, then you'll be receiving around $150/month, every month, for as long as they stay members.

This is how two-tier works.

• You introduce Jane (tier 1 - you get 40% of Jayne's payments).
• Jayne introduces Sue and Jill (tier 2 - you get 10% of Sue and Jill's payments). 
• If Sue or Jill introduce anyone you do not get any payment from these members (as they are tier 3 for you) but Jayne will get a payment (as they are tier 2 for Jayne).
