I’m an Affiliate
August 11th, 2009 - Uncategorized - 5 Comments »WARNING: Today’s post offers no entertainment value, just a desperate plea for you to help me out. We’ll still be friends if you decide to leave and come back tomorrow.
I’m going to be up front with you. I want to earn some money with this blog. Like, so much money that my wallet gives me back problems.
Instead of filling my front page with ads that I really have no control over (and that you could care less about), I’ve signed up for some affiliate programs of some products that I’ve not only enjoyed, but have really helped me with this blog and with life in general.
Basically, an affiliate program is a chance for me to sell other peoples’ products on my site and by doing so, earn a percentage of the overall sale.
Here are 5 products that I think you’ll benefit from and, if you buy through my site, will help me out as well. Just click on the icons below to learn more and…well…purchase.

Here is a description of the product. It’s from Darren Rowse, the blogging guru over at problogger.net.
___
These are from Chris Guillebeau of The Art of Nonconformity. He has a plan in place to visit every country in the world by April 7, 2013. He’s already visited 117 of 197 countries.
Lastly, if I came out with a product (say, a toilet book full of the worthless things I write about on this blog), would you buy it?
___














i would but it for myself, and for all the pclc students, and for my family for christmas.
i would "buy" it also
I would not buy it. You can't give one to one of your oldest friends? I saved your life for the love of pete!!! That's right. I haven't told you til now because I knew you would fill obligated to do something (anything?) to pay me back…and I didn't want to place that burden on you. You don't remember the incident because you were knocked out and the only other person there I have sworn to secrecy. That other person is Rick Schoonmaker, and he is unreachable in Japan, but even if you asked him "point blank" he would deny it b/c he is a man of honor.
So I expect AT LEAST one free…whatever it is…. You ungrateful jerk.
i will buy it if you put the correct guide of how to properly build a toilet paper nest in a public bathroom. if you need help with this guide i have compiled a spread sheet that i will email you.
You know I'd buy hundreds of them – beware everyone, you know what you're getting for Christmas now!
