Whenever I buy something
on a certain big bookseller’s site,
I navigate to the product through
a buddy’s affiliate link.
It doesn’t cost me anything
other than a couple minutes
and my buddy gains income
from it.
She earns enough from affiliate income
to allow her to write full time.
This has made a huge difference
in her life.
Before I buy anything at all
from any company,
I see whether or not
someone has an affiliate account
or could earn a commission
off the sale.
Yes, it helps out someone
in exchange
for a few moments of my time.
But it also builds relationships.
I give them sales.
They might, in the future,
return the favor
and send customers my way.
If you can,
give someone the commission
or affiliate income.
