Commission From Amazon For March, 2009 - UPDATE
Outtakes and various other sundries
UPDATE! The page updated and check the new total for March!! $118!!! Someone must have bought something very pricey - THANK YOU!
I post these updates on the commission I’ve earned from Amazon in the comments periodically but I am going to start posting my Earnings Summary from Amazon at the end of each of month so people can see tangible result of their effort to support me.
For those who don’t know what I’m talking about, there is a shop Amazon button on the right of them blog by the tip jar and if you click it to access Amazon before you shop - if you access Amazon via that link, I get a commission on everything you buy. The commission ranges between 6-7% of your purchase depending on how many total items are sold and of course, costs you nothing extra.
My goal here is to reach $100 a month commission which is what it costs to host this site and the Astro Dispatch each month. It would be significant to have this cost offset and it seems very possible if people begin (and continue) to shop via that link.
Thanks everyone. I think this is pretty impressive.

Crackers, I get it. It’s like a habit you have to get into but once people do it is a very low effort way to support me and you can see it does it add up. I mean, it doesn’t exactly pay me but it does plug a hole where money leaks out each month and this is actually a relief as I’m sure many can relate. It is like having a problem solved, basically. A problem I have had for 5 years so this is a big deal to me.
Does this apply to the U.S. only ? I have tried to move the link to amazon.ca once the button is launched but there doesn’t seem to be any joy that way round. Any ideas?
Excellent! I like the monthly post, too - it’s a reminder and a thank you and a here’s how we’re doing all in one.
Lynn, if you click the button on the page, it will take you to Amazon. If you scroll to the very bottom of (any) amazon page, there are links to the international sites, click there and you (and I) are in business.
Thank you for posting this. I didn’t think to always come here first, but now I will, for sure!

neat.
i just don’t buy much from amazon… or well, anywhere.
but glad to see the site is paying for itself!
I bought a pair of shoes using your site. Love them!
I placed a bunch of orders on 3/3 and I HOPE I clicked through to your link! Major amnesia. Oh well, will always keep in mind.
I used it this month but there was nothing in the process that let me know that you were getting the referral money from my order. I felt a bit lost.
I also had a huge purchase this spring (saving up for a chest freezer for 8 months now!) but amazon didn’t have a link to the one that I had picked out… sorry, I did look though.
…shoes?
I refuse to go and look. I only look when I am going to buy.
