I've been pretty much inactive in setting up a way to use amazon links in any fashion - I tried out ghostscripter with high hopes, but it's just a problematic application with zero support. I just started doing a few things like on this page: http://www.bkweddings.com/wedding-gifts/wine_glasses.html - with a brief summary and some image links to books related to my articles... and today I sold a book. Yeah, it's just one book. But everyone has to start somewhere .
Yeah, my first amazon sale felt really good. Still a looong way before I reach the minimum payout amount, but what the heck, I don't have amazon income as a priority right now...
My first amazon sale was a book too, which I may add, was totally unrelated to what I was advertising. Ah, the power of cookies!
You just got me to check mine, I'm seeing: Clicks: 167 Items Ordered: 8 Items Dispatched: 0 Money: 0.00 Does that mean 8 people have added stuff to their cart but never checked out?
No it means they ordered 8 things, but you are SOL because amazon hasn't shipped them! (Or it could mean that you ordered 8 things since you don't get paid for your own orders.
Cheers nevetS, yeah it was probably me then as I'm sure I've ordered at least 8 books in the last quarter.
