[QUOTE="Morrus, post: 3006289, member: 1"] Just a quick note - when linking to ENGS, I would recommend that you include your [URL=http://shop.enworld.org/index.php?do=affiliateinfo]affiliate ID[/URL] in the URL you post. Naturally, that won't benefit you when someone buys [i]your[/i] product, but if they buy anything else from the ENGS within 4 hours of clicking on your link, you benefit. Might as well earn a little more on the side if you're linking to the store anyway! On another note (and I'm not trying to tell anyone how to run their business, but giving my thoughts) - when linking directly to a product, remember that making a sale via ENGS only costs you 20% commission (plus any affiliate earning you happen to make on the side from it), compared to 30% or even up to 50% at some electronic retailers. The vast majority of electronic sales are generated not by the stores themselves, but by your direct marketing*. In other words, as a publisher, you pretty much get to choose where the majority of your sales are taking place. So (and yes, I have a bias), I am of course attempting to ensure that the majority of EN Publishing sales take place at ENGS where I make significantly more profit per sale. Anyway, as I said - I'm not trying to tell anyone what to do. And I appreciate that some people may have reasons for doing otherwise. Just offering an opinion. [SIZE=1] *This is confirmed by sales source data at ENGS [I]and [/I] at other major electronic retailers. The stores themselves generate a certain amount of sales which are unaffected by your marketing; the bulk of the sales, though, happen where you send people.[/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
