The QuickBooks Affiliate Program
The QuickBooks Affiliate Program
The QuickBooks Affiliate Program allows you
to make money by referring customers to the Intuit web site where
QuickBooks offers several affiliate programs that may be useful to you
or your clients. CPAs can offer QuickBooks these to their customers, and
earn commissions up to 5% on QuickBooks sales originating from your Web
site. Intuit does most of the work - Intuit does all the difficult work
of taking orders, shipping products and handling customer service.
Anyone can apply to the program, as long as they have a web site. Next,
you place links on your site and every time you refer a customer to
Intuit through your site and that customer makes a purchase, you earn a
commission. To get started, you must read and accept the terms and
conditions of the QuickBooks Affiliate Agreement, and fill out the
simple online application. There is no cost to apply or participate in
this program. Presented below is a brief summary of some of these
