Do I need an online business or big mailing list to become an affiliate?
No! All you need is a way to share your unique affiliate link. Whether you plan to share your link with your closest pals, your cousin or your growing online community, we want you on board. Together—one person at a time—we’re going to transform the often fragmented and painful process of end-of-life planning into and opportunity for connection and ease. Sharing your link can be as simple as pasting into a regular email, text or direct message or sharing it through facebook or instagram.
Do I need an online store or e-commerce to make sales?
No! We’ve got you covered. All sales transactions happen on the Willow website. All you need to do is share your unique affiliate code link with people and encourage them to light up their life with one of the products. See the chart above for commission details.

Do I need to apply to become an Affiliate?
No! You do not need to apply to become a Willow EOL Affiliate. We believe in your ability to discern if this is a fit for you. Unlike other affiliate programs that have application criteria and screening process, this is a grassroots initiative meant to empower anyone and everyone who feels this is a good fit. The only criteria is that you agree with the terms and conditions.
How do I get paid my commission?
Commission of 35% of the retail sale of any product sold with your unique affiliate link will be paid out to Affiliates by Willow via Paypal once every month, on or before the 10th of the month.
What about taxes?
Any product being supplied to a customer with a Canadian address will be charged 5% gst or equivalent of harmonized sales tax.
If you are a GST-registered company in Canada, we’ll add GST on to any commission you earn. In other words, when you provide people with your link and a sale is generated, you are acting as a sales agent. We need to pay you for providing this service and if you’re a GST registrant, then you need to charge us 5% for your services. Here’s an example: Karen is a GST registrant with Revenue Canada and last month there’s a record of $1,000 worth of sales from her unique affiliate link. Willow will pay Karen $350 commission plus 5% gst on the $350 for a total of $367.50.
There is no tax charged for items sold to customers with addresses outside of Canada.
Who pays for shipping and handling the print workbooks?
Shipping and handling costs are calculated automatically when the purchase is made. The buyer pays for it, and Willow takes care of the shipping and handling. The Affiliate does not get any commission on the shipping and handling charges.
Can I sell the 7 Tools workbook in bulk or large volume?
We’re still figuring this out! Please email us at hello@WillowEoL.com and we’ll make plans to chat about your interests.
Can I be an Affiliate if I haven’t read the 7 Tools workbook yet?
Yes! What’s most important to us is that you believe in the power of self-reflection and personal-discovery and that you want to share this message. Ideally, you’re on the Willow EOL mailing list so you understand our belief that your mortality is an opportunity in disguise. We think you’ll be best able to convey your passion for the 7 Tools products if you have completed the workbook yourself so we encourage you to do that as your able.
Are you making more products to sell?
Yes, and we’re so glad you asked! 7 Tools for Making Sense of Life & Death is our first collection of products available for affiliates to sell. We have big product-development plans for Departure Directions and Legacy, Love Letters & Heart Wills, our two other areas of personal discovery and planning. You’ll be the first to know when something new is available.
Are there any restrictions about what I can sell?
Yes and thank you for asking. Affiliates may not purchase products through their link for personal use and receive a commission on that sale. Affiliates also may not purchase products through another person’s affiliate link. For more information please read the terms and conditions.
