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:

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 :)

Amazon Changes

There have been some change to Amazon Associates terms and conditions - you have to register separate accounts if you make direct links to Amazon from a blog. However, I believe it is ok to link to an existing Amazon store from a blog. So.... I have removed the direct links to the Amazon site, but you can still buy Amazon products from the links to my stores (on the right) and click through to the whole Amazon site from the logo at the top right of my stores.
