Slow Progress

... well you only get out of a blog what you put into it ... and this one has been sadly neglected ... possily with good reason. It is proving pretty difficult to make an online living and I am going to have to start pedling much harder to get this boat moving ...

Quick Success with Book Depository

Well that didn't take long!!! One order for two books on the second day of being an affiliate. I'm really pleased :) Everything went through smoothly and I now have £2.27 in my Book Depository kitty. Hooray!

It is a bit fidly to see what books were sold but if you use the product numbers to search on the Book Depository site, you can soon find out what (and possibly guess who :-) it was.

Thanks very much anyway - you know who you are ;-)

Book Depository Affiliate Scheme

So.... one of my good friends recommended a book to me sending a link to the Book Depository. I checked the price against Amazon and found the Book Depository a bit cheaper, and they were offering free delivery worldwide!

That made me look into the affiliate scheme and it seemed very simple and attractive.

It had:

• flat rate 5% commission
• really rapid sign up
• 30 day cookies (any purchase within 30 days of clicking link earns commission)
• a sub-affiliate scheme (if you sign up another affiliate via your link, you get a small amount of commission on their sales)

I signed up immediately. I had to submit my main website url (as usual for similar schemes) but approval came within seconds and I was posting links here and on Twitter within minutes.

If you would like to sign up, please do so via this link:

Book Depository Affiliate Signup.

That will mean you are a sub-affiliate of mine :) and we can rejoice over your commission together (you will still get full 5% commission).

It looks a good and attractive scheme. I will update on how it performs as sales (hopefully) start coming in :)
