Referral

Here's a tip that came from a friend. I don't order much from Amazon so it's not terribly useful for me (mostly because I hate paying postage and sometimes packages get stolen from my ghetto apartment), but hopefully it will be for you. Especially you bloggers. Thanks Dennis!

You know that Amazon Associates program where you can add links to their products to your website or blog or whatever? And then if suckers buy the product you link to, or any other product they go to once they’ve entered Amazon through your link, you earn coinage?

Well, I discovered a neat trick. I order from Amazon a lot - mostly cheap, used CDs that I burn onto my computer & then re-sell through Amazon so I end up paying very little, or sometimes turn a profit. One time I clicked on an Amazon link from my blog & ordered some stuff. Low & behold, I earned money on my own purchases! Needless to say, I buy my own stuff this way every time now & generate a 4% referral fee to myself.

Hot tip, right?
