I don’t imagine this is possible, but I was curious enough to try: if I can generate $1500 in sales through my Amazon Associates link, they will give me a “bonus” of $45. A whole forty-five dollars! In addition to my usual commissions on those sales of course. But hey. Is this possible? I have five days to pull it off.
How can you make this happen? Go to my Recommendations Page (link below, just click the “continue reading” bit), and explore around a bit until you want to buy something, then click through to Amazon (using a link from my website will activate my account with them). Then shop for anything else and add it to your basket (can be more books I recommended or a year’s supply of shower caps or a lawn mower, doesn’t matter, as long as it’s in the same basket when you check out, I get the commission).
Let’s go for $1500 in sales in five days! We can do this!
Lol.
I presume the referral will have no effect when changing the .com to something more local like .com.be, .nl, .de, .fr, etc.?
Correct. Only US site links work because I don’t have a business account in other countries.
It’s also concluded. I just saw an email saying I polled $1300 or so in the window for the deal, so not quite $1500. 🙂
Is this only for Amazon.com, or will it work in the UK on Amazon.co.uk, too?
Unfortunately, I only have an American business, so these things would only work at the US site, alas.
I followed your link to Amazon and when I select an item I see your name in the address which I assume will give you some credit. But when I do a search for an item and select it I do not see your name in the address. How can I do a search and give you credit?
Amazon uses coded tagging to keep track of these things (it won’t necessarily keep my name in; it has that in its own database which the generated code keeps track of). But if you want to be sure, first put something in your cart. Then go searching. Then whatever gets added to your cart goes along with the first thing, which will have been logged to my tag when you put it in.
rent is not that high
By any relevant metric, it is (evidence, evidence, evidence).
