This isn’t a get rich scheme. We are a small business working with folks to build community; working together helping each other out. The Affiliate program is for folks who want to make some extra money through their website or blog; and the occasional sale to friends, businesses, or organizations. The affiliate program is ideal for bloggers, forum operators, and any website owner looking for new ways to monetize their site. If you are looking for a higher commission sales or dealer option, please see our CoTradeCo Trader Program main page

Referral links from your blog or website
We provide linking codes so you can link to any product, category, department, community, post, or resource page at CoTradeCo. See referral link examples
Through your SPOT and community blog articles
CoTradeCo is about community building. Any organic traffic from search engines or sites who link to your SPOT or your posts to the community blog count as a referral.
Direct sales
Don’t be limited to passive referrals. Start taking orders directly, cut deals, make a few calls to local businesses, clubs, or organizations who need CoTradeCo products and services. Phone in your direct sales orders and we can often negotiate better pricing for you to make more money.
Earn 20% 30% of the net profit
You make money we make money. You can earn 30% of the net profit (the selling price less the cost of the merchandise, freight, credit card fees). There is no commission on shipping charges or sales tax. When we first launched the program the commission rate was 15% but when we saw the potential we decided to raise it to 20%. However, in our excitement to grow the program, we are now offering 30% of the net profit.

The affiliate program is open to any individual or business who operates a blog or website. However, in accordance with our no spam policies, we only accept affiliates who operate a legitimate blog or website offering useful information, products, or services compatible with our own. All affiliate accounts are reviewed and monitored by a real person to ensure the highest quality of service and participation. We will work with you every step of the way like a partner, not a numbered account in a system.

Referrals for community participation
We really want you to understand that your participation at CoTradeCo is valued and that all traffic attracted to the site through any of your contributions to the community are treated as referrals. If you write an article or start a discussion that attracts new community members or store customers you will be rewarded.[2]
CoTradeCo handles everything
We process all orders, handle payment, provide superior customer service, everything. All you need to do is send folks our way using your link codes or by participating in the community blog.
NOTE: We allow affiliates to make personal purchases and earn commission (the equivalent of cashback or a discount). However, in order to avoid people signing up just to get a discount, we require at least a matching number of referrals for every purchase you make.
Contact Court Anderson 760-505-6385
Or sign up for a SPOT and email us with your SPOT name, web addresses, and why you would be a good fit for the affiliate program.
If you have any questions not covered here, please feel free to contact us 866-530-4804. We are a friendly group who wants to work with you. These programs are extremely flexible and there is a lot of room for growth and you can be a part of building and improving the program to suit your needs.
1. What is CoTradeCo?
A New Time Trading Post, themed around the traditional old west trading post where individuals would meet not only to buy goods, but to meet other parties, and get news and information from around the world and even the trail ahead. CoTradeCo sells a wide variety of specialty product lines that cater to various industries, hobbies, and lifestyles. Our store and communities reflect these relationships. CoTradeCo is currently focused in industrial and personal safety as well as outdoor adventure. However, we do offer general household and other categories and hope to continue growing into a complete general store for work, life, and play.

2. Does it cost me anything?
NO! No strings, nothing hidden. There are absolutely no fees to join the affiliate program. (That wouldn’t make much sense ;)
While we review every application personally, we can have you set up usually the same day. No legitimate website or blog operator is likely to be denied access to the program other than for reasons of conflict of interest or no logical connection between CoTradeCo services and your content.
3. Can I be dropped from the program
YES. Individuals who attempt to exploit the program, spam, or otherwise behave poorly will be dropped. Generally, individuals who have at least one referral per 6 month period will be kept in the program, but we will always be in touch to discuss your situation. You will never be dropped without being contacted first.
4. Do you provide training for high volume affiliates?
YES. However, an affiliate with enough volume to ask this will be enrolled in the Dealer & Sales rep program which has the same referral options as the affiliate program, but is more likely to be out talking with customers directly. Like everything at CoTradeCo, nothing is written in stone, we take everything on a case by case basis. But ultimately we are here to work with you. There is always someone to answer questions.
5. What about returns?
If a customer returns a product for a refund, or if the charges are reversed for any reason that cancels the sale, your account will be reduced by the amount of those referral fees.
