- Your online chart service web site address
is: www.Astrosoftware.com/astro/xxxxx.htm
(where "xxxxx" is your customer number.)
For
example, if your customer number is 9876, then your web site
address is www.Astrosoftware.com/astro/09876.htm.
Your web site will be created at the end of the week in which
you purchased Kepler, Sirius, or report options.
• Of
course, if you already have a web site, you can create a link
to your automated chart service web site
from your web site. Let us know when you have your own website
so we can update your record to have this address. We update
the online chart service web site once a week, every Friday night
or Monday morning. If you have your own website and you give
us the URL address, the next time we update our online chart
service, your online chart service will have a link back to your
web site.
• You
do not need to have your own web site either. Simply put the URL
address assigned to you on your business cards or literatures.
Your customers can simply go directly to that page. Doing so,
you do
not have the overhead of web site maintenance monthly
or yearly.
• You
do not need to do anything to maintain your own automated online
chart service. The entire operation of your web site
is maintained for you by Cosmic Patterns Software. This automated
chart service is operated by Cosmic Patterns, and Cosmic Patterns
pays 40% commission to you for purchases that are made at your
web site.
• Your
web site will be updated weekly with new reports you add.
• A
free chart wheel is also provided!
• Details of how your online chart service works: The
web site design, the products offered, and prices cannot be changed. There are
no monthly or yearly fees for your web site. All of the maintenance, credit card
processing, bank fees, labor, etc. is taken care of by Cosmic
Patterns Software. The only payment that you make is on actual software purchase.
For
each
sale of
a report
made
on your online chart service web site you will receive 40% of the price paid
by the customer in a check sent to quarterly (January, April, July, or
October).
• Note
that all of the health reports are not available in the automated
online chart service. Some other
reports, like the Progressed Report, Galactic Report, Lunar Return
Report, and the newly released report options are also not available
online.
IMPORTANT:
Read this message before you consider using this service
In
order to have this service, Cosmic Patterns pays for a co-located
server, have a merchant account for Visa, MasterCard, Discover,
and American Express, and monitor the web site 24/7. All of these
are not free. In order to have a merchant account, you have to
pay monthly fees,
there is a charge
per
transaction,
and a % deducted per item sold, etc.
The
amount of fees and labor cost that we pay monthly to provide
you this excellent service adds up and rather costly.
We also have an inhouse programmer that monitors the site for
irregularity
or problem in chart calculations reported by the users. If
problem is found, then we fix the problem immediately. In addition
to
all
of these
expenses,
we also pay royalty to each of the
authors of each of the reports that are on your web site.
60%
versus 40%: It sounds like we are getting more from
this because we get 60% and you
as the franchisee only
get 40%. After paying for all of the monthly expenses however,
plus doing all the technical support, etc., by the time we finished
paying all of our overheard expenses just to provide this
excellent service for you, we sometimes just break even. We sometimes
lost money as well
depending on the amount of sales we received per month.
If the traffic
is good, then we only get about 15-20% from what your
web
site has
earned
after
paying all of the monthly fees. If our franchisee do not have
enough sales monthly to cover all of our monthly expenses, then
we have no choice but to pay all of the monthly expenses from
out
of
our
pocket. Regardless of our sales per month, we make sure that
all monthly fees that we are required to pay are fully paid.
Cosmic Patterns also guarantees that you timely receive your
quarterly franchisee commission.
As
a Franchisee, you earn more than we do because
we guarantee you 40% of your
sale regardless of what fees and other expenses we encore monthly.
All you have to do is advertise then relax and wait for your
commission
check quarterly. So take advantage of this excellent service
while you can!
