Compassionately intolerant

I've used Amazon links on my site for the last 10 years.

I do not have the kind of traffic you do, Jilli, so my experience is not going to be yours, but not one red cent has been earned that way.

If someone clicks on a book, then hits another link on the Amazon page, poof goes the connection. Since I don't stress BUY FROM ME, it's not an income generator.

On the other hand, I love having a way to directly connect folks to books I recommend. Those resources are key to my clients' success, so it's sort of key to offer this service.

The affiliate links -- that's a good idea, even if I make no money off of it.

I plan on using my blog to occasionally review books I like, and it'll be nice to have a link so peeps can purchase if they are interested.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

I'm going to be starting a vampire / horror genre recommendations section of GCS, because I get a LOT of mail asking me for recs for "good" vampire books. Having the affiliate links couldn't hurt.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

So bad you should make them into furniture. (I always kind of wince when someone does that with good or ok books. Furniture made from books is kinda of cool looking, but I'm only OK with it if it is made from really bad books.)

Dear god, promoting myself is making my brain hurt.

It's good; I'm getting a lot of help, but I feel like someone beat me upside the head all morning!

I'm also trying to conquer the asking for people to say nice shit about me squick, and the telling the world how awesome I am squick.

Whew. I need a shower and food. And to get up off my ass for the first time since 8 am. This is like running a marathon, and I still need to write about 10 pages today. Good thing I have tea.
