Quick Answer: The Attorney Network has overhauled its affiliate program just one month after promoting it, requiring existing affiliates to sign non-disclosure agreements to learn details about the new compensation plan and marketing materials. The changes appear comprehensive, affecting software logins, commission structures, and requiring new W9 forms for payments through NOTEWORLD.
More than one tipster (send in your tips here) sent in the following email. In itself it is not all that newsy but what struck me is that it was only one month ago that The Attorney Network was bragging about their wonderful affiliate program. See Goooood Mooooorning….Potential Affiliates. The Attorney Network.
The irony in the new message is that even if you are already an affiliate, apparently the new program is so super secret that it requires a non-disclosure agreement before current affiliates can learn about “the New Affiliate Agreement & Marketing Pieces & Compensation Plan & Power Point Presentation & Examples of Client Schedules.”
This change appears to change everything for affiliates including software logins and “We will also ask you to fill out a new W9 Form and your banking information on the Direct Deposit Form for NOTEWORLD so we can send you your weekly wires- commissions.”

Why does TAN, LLC need to go all “secret squirrel” with any new program?
The mere reference to Noteworld, given Noteworld has previously announced only working with performance fee model companies, would suggest there is nothing to hide. Until there is….
