Updated Information for DPA Affiliates
(Effective September 1, 2019)

Traditionally, web-based affiliate programs involved arrangements in which an online merchant paid their “affiliates” a commission to send them traffic, make referrals, or otherwise generate business; for which a given affiliate was paid according to a particular agreement. The Due Process Advocate Affiliate Program goes far beyond this traditional business model.

In the DPA Business Network, Affiliates are the highest level of membership that can be attained. Affiliates symbolize the “best of the best” and exemplify the mission of The Due Process Advocate.

REQUIREMENTS FOR PARTICIPATION

1. A prospective Affiliate must be a DPA Member that is also enrolled in Due Process 101.
   
   
2. A prospective Affiliate must be organized as, or participating in, a recognized business entity (i.e. as a sole proprietor, partnership, corporation, or other business entity);
   
   
3. A prospective Affiliate must be established and recognized as a successful professional in his or her business occupation or trade;
   
   
4. A prospective Affiliate must support constitutionally-protected due process rights and be a leader in the mission to restore individual due process rights and eliminate arbitrary rule; and
   
   
5. A prospective Affiliate must able to readily identify with, and interact with, the growing community of due process advocates and supporters.
   

Note: By policy, The Due Process Advocate promotes, endorses, and refers individuals as DPA Affiliates; and not entire companies or large corporate organizations. The preferred focus is always on “individual” capabilities, competence, and reputation.

AFFILIATE APPLICATION AND AGREEMENT

DPA Affiliates are established by executing a standard Business Affiliation Application and Agreement that spells out the costs, terms and conditions. The agreement also provides a DPA Affiliate with his/her own, exclusive sub-domain. The sub-domain is, in essence, a “landing page” that serves as a DPA Affiliate’s own, private, online “portal” within the entire community of DPA affiliates, advocates, subscribers, clients, and web visitors. Also, if not already subscribed to The Due Process Advocate or enrolled in “Due Process 101” (an online education program developed and published by The Due Process Advocate); access to these resources is included as part of a DPA Affiliate’s participation.

THE REASONS FOR SUB-DOMAINS AND LANDING PAGES A sub-domain and landing page is a unique marketing tool for a DPA Affiliate for these reasons:

1. Growing DPA Business Network
   Sub-domains with landing pages create a very exclusive network of like-minded business individuals who share a common interest in the restoration of individual due-process rights as the underlying basis for their mutual affiliation - and the entire Due Process Advocate organization operates to advertise and support BOTH the core mission of The Due Process Advocate and the DPA Affiliate’s own business.
   
   
2. Increasing Traffic
   Each DPA Affiliate’s sub-domain and landing page is exposed to increasing traffic as the DPA Membership expands the DPA Business Network gets larger and larger - as the number of readers, visitors, subscribers, clients, and affiliates increases.
   
   
3. Referral Business
   The DPA Business Network provides for both direct and indirect referral business. The dueprocessadvocate.com staff and other DPA Affiliates make direct referrals on a routine basis. Indirect referrals can result from any web-traffic arriving at an Affiliate’s sub-domain and landing page (i.e. from search engines, snail mail campaigns, through the online membership base and subscriptions to The Due Process Advocate and/or through other targeted email correspondence). It should be noted that other DPA Affiliates constitute a “built-in” referral network of knowledgeable business folks. Currently, there are documented, paid referrals in the tens of thousands of dollars from just a small number of DPA Affiliates.
   
   
4. Flow-Through Web-Traffic
   Any external websites owned by the DPA Affiliate can be linked from the Affiliate’s landing page so that any visitor to the Affiliate’s sub-domain and landing page can be redirected to the Affiliate’s external websites or web pages (such as an existing business website, Facebook, WordPress, etc.)
   
   
5. Fast and Inexpensive Solution
   Typically, a new DPA Affiliate’s landing page can be written, designed, formatted, and “live” within a week. A total, all-inclusive cost is disclosed up-front and there are no hidden costs of any kind. Ongoing maintenance is included. Copy changes are at minimal costs. Affiliates are provided with a suite of marketing tools and resources (such as endorsement letters for referral purposes). New cases and clients are negotiated and handled on a case-by-case basis.
   
   
6. Full Disclosure With Transparency
   Respectable, talented business professionals have no problem letting people know who they are, where they are, how they operate, exactly what services and/or products they provide, and how to contact them. They thrive on word-of-mouth and referral business from satisfied clients and customers. These are the distinguishing and characteristic qualities of DPA Affiliates that are reflected at DPA Affiliate sub-domains and landing pages.
   
   
7. Non-Partisan With No Private Agenda
   The Due Process Advocate has no political or private agenda other than the non-partisan restoration of due process rights and the elimination of arbitrary rule.
