Comments Off on How to Partner with KnowEm: Affiliate, White Label, API or Re-seller?
Every day we get multiple requests from people wishing to become a member of our affiliate program, or to white label our Enterprise Dashboard. So to help everyone out, I decided to take the time to write a description of each in the hope that it would help you decide what would be the best way to resell KnowEm to your current client base, readers/followers or potential clients.

Affiliate Program: Our affiliate program pays a fixed commission rate for each sale. This program is perfect for people who blog about Social Media services such as KnowEm, or mention KnowEm in an eBook or want to advertise the KnowEm suite of services via banners or text link ads. We often run specials for our affiliates with bonuses on commissions as well as exclusive deals to help them generate traffic via their affiliate link. KnowEm’s affiliate program is run by the good people over at Share-A-Sale. Share-A-Sale has one of the most respected affiliate management platforms in the marketing world and we are happy to have our program exclusively listed through them.
Re-Seller Dashboard: The KnowEm Professional Enterprise Dashboard can also be used by re-sellers looking to offer our services to their clients in a more affordable, quick and easy way. It is best used for clients that are looking to have one centralized location for all of their social media personas in one place. We offer a robust reporting system of social networks where your name has been reserved across various social media sites as well as where your name has been taken. This dashboard also offers some unique features that are not available to our regular retail clients. If you would like more information or would like to schedule a demo feel free to contact us or call 1-800-691-KNOW.
White Label: A white label is perfect for agencies or organizations that would like to have their clients have their own individual logins to the KnowEm platform. A white label offers all of the features available on the KnowEm Enterprise Dashboard, but it is branded to look exactly like your website, from logo to color scheme. The white label is perfect for partners who want to resell the KnowEm suite of services — this includes our alerts platform, username registrations, trademark searching and registration as well as some other great features. For more information and pricing on a white labeled version of our platform please feel free to contact us and schedule a demo.
API: Companies with developers that are looking to completely integrate the KnowEm suite of tools into their own existing client dashboard system can request access to KnowEm’s API (we offer sample code in PHP, but it can consumed via any language – Ruby, Python, .NET, etc). This is perfect for customers that are looking to include our product offerings on their dashboards or current client portal and have their own development staff that can program the API into their system. KnowEm has RESTful APIs which allow you to check usernames, place orders with us, review any order placed with us and export just about any of that information via XML or JSON into any number of formats. To discuss these options and determine if you qualify to be a KnowEm API partner please feel free to contact us or call 1-800-691-KNOW. (Please note, all application API requests are screened and a mutually agreed terms of service are required to protect both KnowEm and the API partner).
We hope this helps you decide what is the best way to work with the team at KnowEm. We always have new features launching and have built this suite of tools by listening to the needs of our clients and potential clients; so we are always open to suggestions on how to better our services and/or tailor them to your needs. We always look forward to new opportunities and working with new partners!
