Amazon's Associate's program began in 1996 and now has over half a million members.
Sign-up is free and it is easy to join. Just go to www.amazon.com/associates.

• Place links on your site to Amazon.com.

• Visitors click from your site to Amazon.com and purchase your book.

• You earn up to 15% in referral fees.

• Sign-Up: Fill out a brief online registration form. You will receive an immediate e-mail welcoming you to the program and giving you instructions on how to get started building your store. Amazon will typically review registration forms within one or two business days. After your site has been approved, you will receive another e-mail with detailed instructions on how to enter their 'members only' area called Associates Central.

• Use Associates Central to build your store. Once your site has been approved, you will get access to Associates Central, which provides you with a fast and easy way to link virtually any page in our site through the Build-A-Link tool. You will also have access to banners and graphics, helpful merchandising tips, and 24-hour online reporting so that you can build your store and keep track of your earnings online any time.

• Start Earning Referral Fees. You will automatically be eligible to earn referral fees for sales generated by your links once your site has been approved. You will always have access to your earnings and traffic reports through Associates Central. The reports will show you what your visitors are buying, how much they are buying, and what your earnings are on those purchases. With that information, you can optimize your store and make the most of your relationship with us. Referral fees are paid at the end of each quarter.
  o The current referral fee schedule is: 15% of qualifying revenues from the sale of each individually linked book that, on the date of order, is listed in our catalog at 10% to 30% off the publisher's list price and that is added to the customer's shopping cart directly from the first page that results from following a special link to the individually linked book.
