First, you must be a member of 2ndhub.com in good standing. If you have deleted your account, or if it is incomplete and/or suspended for any reason, you will not be eligible. You do NOT have to be a member of AvMatch to be an affiliate. You do have to be a member of 2ndhub in order to monitor your affiliate statistics and to get paid! Second, you get your Affiliate Banners and you rez them in a commercial location in-world, such as your shop or club. Now, sit back and let your visitors click your affiliate banners! For each person that clicks one of your banners and then goes on to create a profile for the relative site, they will become your affiliate member, and you will have to opportunity to earn real money! You will earn 10% on the first three purchases made by any of your affiliate members, and this is per site. You will also receive 30 free 2ndhub points for every member that simply completes a profile on the relative site. So even if they don't buy anything, like tokens, you will still earn 2ndhub points, which can be spent towards any of our premium features on 2ndhub, such as banner ads and business spotlights. So not only can you earn real money, but you can earn free advertising as well! About affiliate validity: Your affiliate clickers can not include yourself, your alts, or anyone in your household. We reserve the right to determine your eligibility and if we believe you are referring your alts, or someone in your household, we will refuse the affiliate, without explanation or liability. The people clicking your banners will not know they are your affiliate members, and they will not know how many Ls or 2ndhub points you've earned because of their affiliate member status. You will have the option of being notified, either by email or via in-world notice, when you earn money. Your transaction history will keep a record of your awarded money and points due to your affiliate members. This transaction information will be available for at least 6 months.

Member Referral Rewards Program:
We now have a new referral program! If you have a valid AvMatch account, and you refer someone to AvMatch.com and they input your name in the referral field when registering, you will be eligible for special bonuses! What exactly? Well, if the new member decides to purchase tokens or a premium membership, you will receive free connection tokens based on their first purchase. If they purchase 5 connection tokens, you will receive 2 free tokens. If they purchase 12 connection tokens, you will receive 3 free tokens. And if they purchase a premium membership, you will receive 4 free tokens! Here are some rules that apply. You must have a completed and approved profile AND your account must be in good standing at the time they make their purchase.
