Ha, you have have seen it back in 2000-2002, Chips and Bit were giving me a 20% commission on game sales In those days, I didn't bother with advertising at all.
If Amazon only paid 1%, man, that would not even be worth setting up and maintaining the links. The thing is, a lot of people are not aware of the Subsim/Amazon affiliation. If I remind people too much, I become a nagging telemarketor  ; if I don't mention it enough, they never know about it. |
Send an email to everybody, and mention the numbers. I really did not know that it is so much, and maybe many people know about the deal, but think it is too minor as if their participation would make any difference at all: "These Texan oil barons all are millionairs, so if I order that bundle of items for 50 dollars, what use could it have for Neal to earn 20 cents from that?" |
Yeah, but a billion US dollars doesn't buy much these days!
