Many authors already use Amazon affiliate links to send readers to their books or others. This works the same. You recommend great books you think your readers will enjoy, but instead of getting a few cents when they purchase, you get 25% of their total order. You get content for your newsletter/social media/readers AND you get another income stream.
We’re breaking away from our reliance on paid ads and are giving YOU a chance to build an additional revenue stream.
Instead of paying Facebook or Amazon for every time someone looks at or clicks on an ad, I’m paying YOU when you share your unique affiliate link with your readers. For every reader who makes a purchase on my website via your link, you get 25% of the purchase price!
You don’t have to be Wide, exclusive, selling direct, and you don’t have to have a big list or email following. Any author can participate.
How does it work?
Let’s say you decide your readers might like my fae urban fantasy series. Simply direct them to my website using your unique link, and when they make a purchase, you get paid via PayPal in 14 days. If they buy the complete trilogy, they get a discount, and you get 25% of the $14.99 purchase price. That’s $3.74 in your pocket!

FAQ
Why would I want to become an affiliate?
If I become an affiliate and I email my newsletter list about your books, will you feature my book in your newsletter (i.e. a newsletter swap):
Short answer, no. The longer answer: this isn't quid pro quo. You can choose to become an affiliate and send your readers to my books, making money each time one of them purchases from me, or you can skip out. It's completely up to you.
How do I know you will pay me?
I'm using a Shopify app called GOAFFPRO. It handles all the transactions for me. I won't see you or your reader's bank information, and I only receive the cost of the item minus your commission. GOAFFPRO sends your commission straight to you via PayPal 14 days after a reader purchases via your link.
Do I need my own affiliate program to participate?
Nope!
Do I need to be wide or sell direct to participate?
Nope! It doesn't matter if you're Wide, in KU, pre-published, have a thousand books out or one book out, you can sign up for this program.
Can my readers buy your books on Amazon or other retailers?
They can, but your affiliate link only works (you only earn commission) when your readers buy directly from my site.
What if I don't have PayPal?
At this time, GOAFPRO only integrates with PayPal, so if you do not have a PayPal account, unfortunately you will not be able to receive commission.
I'm still confused. How do I learn more?
