A few days ago, I wrote that I was intending to use Amazon's Affiliate Programme to help cover my costs on the novel and that in advance of that, I had decided to use my Slayers Guide to Games Masters to get it up and running and tested.

So having put up some pretty little links...

( Pretty Link... )

...I can now report back as to how well it's going, and the answer is that I'm very impressed with how efficiently it works. Joining up is quick and simple, as is generating the custom link code, and having done so there are some pretty powerful reports available from your affiliate control centre.

For example, if I wanted to confirm that so far, I've still sold absolutely nothing, I can use the Earnings Report:

( Earnings Report... )

Then, if I want more detail on precisely how I've managed to sell nothing, I can drill down to the Orders Report:

You know... I'm telling myself it's because everyone already has it. Right guys?
