- September 13, 1997, on Making Money from Your Web Site:
Last week I put up a page with a half dozen real estate related books on it through Amazon.com. I must say I didn't think about people "clicking through" my commissions until I got my first statement and out of 5 visitors only one bought in spite of the of the fact the link connecting clearly state "order here". I consoled myself with the fact that I was giving a future real estate client information at a nice discount and I should be content with that. Now I'm not so sure. I wish I knew how many of the remaning 4 bought something for which I got nothing. I do feel cheated and I've only been an associate for 2 weeks. Thanks to Mark Welch I found your site and a number of other book associate programs that don't pay the now "15%" commission (you don't get anyway) they do pay 8% for every book purchased from you link. My only problem now is that I don't write pearl script, but I guess it isn't that tough to change half a dozen reviews anyway!
