Member Management on the Powerhouse Affiliate
When accounts have been established, members, sponsors and advertised receive account details to enable access to secure portals. For instance, when an advertiser logs into their portal they can access the key functions of the site that relate to their profile. The advertiser can add, update or delete listings, add, update and delete banner advertisements, check financial transactions, post queries and complete all other tasks online.
To purchase a banner on the e-business network, an advertiser logs into their portal, clicks add new banner and then enters business details, address and uploads an image and byline for their advertisements. Upon submission, the banner is screened for inappropriate content and an alert is sent to the site administrator to approve or reject the banner request. Upon approval, payment is made and the banner is automatically uploaded to the site.
