Okay, okay ...

You may see the flashy Amazon link in the sidebar and cry, "Sell-out!"

This is why I done what I done:
  • My family buys stuff through Amazon regularly. If we use that click-thru link, we'll get 4% back. That's useful coin in this tough economic climate.

  • Years ago, I used to have a Nichols and May website with a similar banner. It earned me a bit of money back in the day. As one of the income-less, it seemed like a good idea.

  • Um, we just moved to a more expensive place, remember???
So, quit your name-calling (which doesn't hurt a bit!), and buy your books and DVDs through my link already, 'kay? ;)

You should definitely join Amazon Associates, Alex! It's 4% back on the amount spent per item. If you choose the Performance plan, that percentage is raised after a certain number of purchases.

Keep in mind that if you were to, say, use one email address for your Associates account, and another for your Amazon purchases, you could get $ back on items you purchase. Or, at least, you could ~2000, when I was doing it. But you didn't hear that from me ... ;)
