The Amazon-Firefox Plug-In
Dec 01 2010 10:55pm
One of the unexpected things that has helped us make enough scratch to keep podcasting is the program Amazon.com has to share revenue with what they call "affiliates". We signed up for this program, and are affiliates. If the affiliate posts Amazon's search window on their website, then any buying traffic that uses that window to make Amazon purchases will stimulate a rebate of a small percentage of the purchase price back to the affiliate (us).
Now, if you listen to our podcasts, this news is not new to you. We promote this program on the shows (and thankfully, a lot of you are using it. It is only valuable if lots of people take advantage because the individual rebates are low...but they add up over time).
The main inhibiting factor is simply getting people to remember to do it. But a new plug-in for Firefox browser users has made this a moot step. Just install the plug-in and (we are told...we haven't tested it yet) you can just go directly to Amazon.com from then on and shop directly using your web browser and we will get the same credit that we would have received if you had remembered to go to our website and had used the built-in search window we have there.
If this sounds like a labor/time/trouble saving piece of equipment for you, you can find it by clicking here:
affiliatefox.net/install/install.php?hash=1e3e8e49a509e23658f678751a9e7554
And my extreme thanks to all of you who have supported what we do by shopping at Amazon.com via us. It really does help!
