Is there an affiliate program or rewards program?
Yes and Yes.

Our affiliate program is FREE to join but is limited in benefits. Our rewards program is for paying customers and offers more. Let's compare them both.

We offer a 1-tier affiliate program that pays 25% for your first four direct referrals and 15% for additional direct referrals. Want to earn more? Keep reading.

Those who upgrade to become customers are automatically enrolled in our 2-tier rewards program that pays 25% for ALL direct referrals (tier 1) and 10% for indirect referrals (tier 2). Direct referrals are those you personally refer. Indirect referrals are those referred by your direct referrals.

As an added bonus, paying customers can become part of our Associates List and take part in streaming their live video on our company's index page (during promotions when we turn this feature on). This means customers will be able to share in the traffic that we bring to our main site giving opportunity to those people to pick up new downline members and earn commissions on them if they upgrade. Click here to learn more about our Associates List.

People who are strictly affiliates can upgrade to customer status when they acquire 4 direct referrals or, at any time they wish. There is an obvious advantage to upgrading like an additional 10% commissions on direct referrals beyond your first four, earning 10% on tier 2 and not to mention the benefits of using Web Site Communicator.

How secure is the information being shared between operator and web site visitor?
Transmitting LIVE streaming video over SSL, secure socket layer, slows down the video transmission because it has to be encrypted before being sent and then decrypted once received. This process interferes with smooth video quality therefore, we chose not to provide our service over SSL. However, we do have SSL service so if you are concerned about sensitive information being intercepted and you accept that video quality may be less than perfect then please contact us and we will provide you with the SSL code to replace the default code.

How is the quality of my web cam video determined?
The ability to broadcast video is dependent upon many factors. A good quality web cam will ensure good quality video but more importantly is the amount of bandwidth you have available.

Web Site Communicator™ runs on our state-of-the-art, fast, dedicated servers to provide customers and web site visitors with exceptional service however, any chain is only as strong as its weakest link. The operator, or subscriber to Web Site Communicator™, can only deliver quality video according to the amount of bandwidth provided by their ISP (internet service provider).

Web Site Communicator™ automatically detects a user's specified bandwidth to transmit video at the highest quality possible and adjusts the video quality accordingly so as not to exceed a user's bandwidth speed. Operators have the ability within the operator console to manually adjust their video quality if they do not wish to rely on the automatic detection.

I use a wireless internet connection. Will my experience be any less than if I was hard wired?
For basic web site surfing people often do not see a difference when using wireless when compared to being hard wired. This is because web site surfing doesn't necessarily require a constant stream. However, when transmitting audio and/or video over wireless there can be a noticeable difference. Audio and video transmissions require a constant stream to ensure a "true" pleasant experience.

Most wireless routers only allow a maximum of 56 kbps of transmission. This may not be enough for sending and receiving audio and video at the same time. This is referred to as full duplex as opposed to half duplex where you cannot send audio and video when you are receiving audio and video and vice versa. The newer "n-seriers" routers allow faster connection speeds but your wireless card must also allow for faster speed or you will still only have a maximum of 56 kbps.

On a wireless connection you should expect lesser quality than if you were hard wired. You may see latent video and/or hear latent audio. This is true for all programs requiring a constant stream and not just for Web Site Communicator™.

Understanding wireless technology and how it works will help you determine if you want to use wireless connectivity for streaming real-time audio and video.

My webcam shows a blank screen when using Web Site Communicator . How can I fix this?
PC users right click on the FLASH image below. MAC users may have to hold down the CONTROL key and then click on the image below. This should reveal an options panel. Select "settings". Then, select your camera option (should be located near the bottom ) and choose your camera from the dropdown menu. You may also select which microphone device gets used with Web Site Communicator.

If you are running more than one program that utilizes your camera then these programs may change the default settings for your camera so you may have to select your camera manually for different programs.

Yes. You can create as many departments as you wish but only three connections are provided in the basic program. Extra connections can be purchased according to your need.

< Back To Top Of Page >

Can more than one operator share the same account?
Yes, however only one operator can broadcast at any given time.

< Back To Top Of Page >

What is the difference between a Master Operator, Master Operator Assistant and an Operator?
Master Operator has full control over the admin area and it is the Master Operator's web cam that has priority when Master Operator, Master Operator Assistant and Operator are online.

The significant difference of the Master Operator Assistant is that in the event the Master Operator goes offline then the Master Operator Assistant's web cam immediately begins to broadcast in the place of the Master Operator. Once the Master Operator comes back online his web cam will assume the default broadcasting mode.

Operators are setup to manage departments and never broadcast live to a web site. Their web cam only broadcasts when they are engaged in a chat session with either a web site visitor or with other operators.

< Back To Top Of Page >

Can I invite other operators into a chat session where I am actively involved with a web site visitor?
Yes. Depending on the number of connections you have purchased you will be able to invite other operators into a current session by first private messaging the operator to invite them into a session. If the operator accepts your invitation you will be able to pull him into the video session.

< Back To Top Of Page >

Can I transfer web site visitors to different departments I have created?
Yes. If a web site visitor initiates a chat session with the Master Operator and the visitor wishes to speak to someone in a department you have created then you will be able to transfer the visitor to the appropriate operator/department. The Master Operator will be able to private message the operator to make sure he is able to chat with the visitor before the Master Operator will transfer the visitor.

< Back To Top Of Page >

Can I create a Buddy List and what is it?
Yes you can create a Buddy List. A Buddy List is compromised of other users of Web Site Communicator. You will be able to search our database for a username within your operator console. If we find that username in our database you will be able to add him/her to your Buddy List. You will know at a glance if this user is online or offline. You will be able to instantly communicate with those on your Buddy List. A Buddy List is a convenient and professional solution to working closely with teammates, downline members, groups etc.

< Back To Top Of Page >

Can I invite those in my Buddy List to join me in a session with a web site visitor?
Yes. If you are actively involved in a video chat session with a web site visitor and you want to invite someone from your Buddy List to join the session you can private message them and invite them provided you have enough connections in your account to accommodate the invitation.

< Back To Top Of Page >

Can I transfer a web site visitor to someone in my Buddy List?
Yes. The same way you can transfer a web site visitor to another operator you can also transfer a web site visitor to someone in your Buddy List. This becomes valuable for network marketers and/or people working as teams. Imagine a prospect visits your site and initiates a chat session to inquire further about your program. You explain the benefits and your prospect decides to signup for your program as part of your team. You may want to pass this prospect on to someone on your team you are working closely with. You can private message someone from your Buddy List to see if they want the new prospect. You can pull your teammate from your Buddy List into the current session or you can transfer the prospect to your teammate in your Buddy List.

Can I create an Associates List and what is it?
Yes you can create an Associates List. An Associates List allows you and other users of Web Site Communicator to participate in events. For example: if you are running a promotion on a web site where you are collecting leads, etc., then users who are in your Associates List will take their turn broadcasting on the page containing the Associates List code. Visitor one to the web site will see Operator One. Visitor two will see Operator two. Visitor three will see operator three and so on until all operators in the list have had a turn according to visits to the page. The Associates List will then start over from the beginning. This system allows all operators to broadcast equally making it fair for all.
