Monetizing Your Blog’s Book-List And Book Reviews For Your Favourite Charity (Fundraising With Blogs)

Sunday, February 18th, 2007

Many bloggers who like to read establish book lists. Regularly for year’s end, sometimes they also make a so called TBR list (to be read)at the beginning of the year.During the year book reviews are published by avid readers and book lovers.

Fundraising is difficult and many Charities have a hard time to get enough funds to keep operating. Here is a way how bloggers can help their charity raise funds:

If you have a charity you are supporting, or if you feel that a worthy cause should get some money, you should not overlook the potential of your blog. By adding an affiliate link for the purchase of the books you list, you will generate a commission, that you then can pass on to the Charity of your choice (or keep to travel somewhere, buy the whole family ice cream, or whatever else you wanted to do, but did not have the money to pay for).

How does it work? Sign up for the affiliate program! If you are no thinking of Amazon - they are books after all, then wait! There are programs that pay much better than Amanzon!

The AudioBookscorner.com affiliate program for downloadable audio books pays bloggers with an active blog 15% commission of the customer’s entire purchase he makes when he comes from your link. And the visitor gets a cookie that stays with him for 30 days. So if he does not buy immediately and returns later, or if he buys and then buys again a second or third time, even if this time he does not come from your link, the sale is still yours, the cookie identifies this customer as coming from your link initially!

This affiliate program does not work for bloggers only, webmasters are earning money also with audio books :

You could also build small specialized audio book stores with the program. This is especially effective, if you build a small website and make a book list for specific authors and their works. Add a few details about the author and his books, add your own opinion. Every audio book you mention needs to be linked with your affiliate link, so that if somebody clicks they are brought to the page where they can buy.

To promote this specialized site you do what you do all the time: You fire up your blog and review one book per day. In your post, you add one affiliate link directly and you also add a link to your small bookstore specialized site, which is preferably on an other domain (can be a free site or you get yourself an other domain name to do this). This also works if you have your blog and the specialized website on the same domain.
If you mention in your posts that the proceedings from the affiliate commissions go to xyz charity, you can be sure people will help you raise money!

If you are interested, but are a bit overhelmed by these explanations, shoot me an email to rolf # nospam # at # audiobookscorner # . # com - you’ll know how to recompose the address so it works (the nospam part nees to be removed too). I’ll be happy to help you build a few pages and links so that you can go and do it yourself once you see how this works and fits together.

Why let good traffic go to waste, if you could funnel some money to a good cause?

Looking forward to sending you your affiliate commissions!

Affiliate Program : Audiobooks

Wednesday, February 14th, 2007

Affiliates for the Big Money With Audio Books Affiliate Program start to generate nice turnovers. It’s clear that consumers do like to be able to dowload their audiobooks 24/7. Finding such offers on websites that correspond to th theme of the audio book leads them to a spontaneous buying decision.

Downloading digital content gets more popular every day! The time of audio casettes and even CD’s and DVD’s is rapidly coming to an end. ‘Books on tape’ have bcome ‘books on demand’ or ‘audio books download’.

I like to compare this change in technology to the early changes in the industrial development. It’s like the change from horse buggy to gasoline automobiles. The principle of motion by force other than your own feet was the same, the means to achieve this goal got more sophisticated.

However I think that unlike horse buggies which were after a few years only used for pleasure and virtually disappeared, the printed book will always be here, but books on tape and books on CD will totally disappear. People who will want a digital aduio book will download it and will not want to be bothered by the physical tapes or CD anymore.

If you join our affiliate program, you are taking advantage of this development which is just starting. I’m not telling you that you will become a millionaire in a few months, selling audio books, but you are offered the opportunity to get in on this trend, and if you use our proprietary promotional system, you can earn a lot of money selling audio books from your website. AND you are adding valuable, key-rich content to your site that your visitors will love.

Hop over and check out the ever growing number of audio book titles for immediate download!

The relatively new trend to downloadable digital content is the beginning of a tidal wave. You can compare it to the growth of Amazon.com when they started off some years back and nobody had an idea how successful selling physical books through the internet would become. You will participate in a tremendous growth movement.

Why should you join our affiliate program and not one of the big book stores who also affer (a limited range) of audios? With us the client gets the audio book immediately. And people want things they decide to have as fast as possible! And the difference between being an affiliate for Amazon.com and being an affiliate of Big Money With Audio Books is the much higher commission that you will earn:

10% to 20% on every sale!

That’s a multiple of what Amazon.com is offering their affiliates. And we offer you an important added benefit, that especially well versed webmasters will highly appreciate: Your promotional material is not just some javascript or iframe to paste into your web pages. You get solid HTML pages from us. Pages that the Search engines love and that will help you rank for your specific topic.

Tell us what your theme is and we will supply you unique pages that no other affiliate will have with one audio book per page, full description, image - the lot! On every page we will randomly place short excerpts of three to five other related audio books. Read the blog entries to learn how successful this is and how quickly the Search Engines pick up these unique pages and list them!

We have about 10 Billion variations before we do two pages that are exactly the same. If you add a few lines of your own content, or simply add your menu structure and a footer and header to each of these pages, you can be 100% sure to have unique web content!

The Big Money With Audio Books program offers you two advantages:

  • Generous 10 to 20% on every sale
  • Free web content for better SE ranking

We are looking forward to working with you. Click this link to join the Big Money with Audio Books Affiliate Program !

My Grandma has problems reading, her eyes are not as good as they used to be.

I’ll certaily be more than happy to do that!

WMA Books - Audios That Play On Your PC Or Laptop

Thursday, February 8th, 2007

Did you know that you can make your PC read you a book, or your laptop? Just like good old Grandma used to tell you fairy tales and legends, you can now get your PC or Laptop to read you detective stories, romance novels, or self-help books!

Plenty of New York Times Bestseller authors have audio books published, so if you lack the time to read, why not listen to an audio book as you drive to work?

The WMA format allows these WMA books to play on the Windows Mediaplayer. Professional narrators make the text come alive and it’s a real pleasure to listen to!

Obviously you can also easily burn these WMA books to CD, transfer them into an MP3 file and upload it to your MP3 player, the Zune, or through the iTune Manager add them to your iPod. Plenty of possiblities!

Tuesday, February 6th, 2007

You own this great iPod - It has so much storage space you’ll never be able to fill it with just music alone. Here’s a great way to impress your friends and have fun.

Audio Books are hip and you may download them easily from the net. The Audio Books Corner offers over 6′000 audio book downloads

Say you pick a great classic, an audio book by Shakespeare - the coice is vast, so you pick one or two, download them to your iPod. Have a short cut to the file ready.

Maybe you prefer detective stories or romance novels, download these too and enjoy!

When you’re meeting that snob again, who tried to impress you with his cultural stuff last time you met, just mention as a side note, that you really enjoy Shakespeare and that listening to it helps you relax, then pick the shortcurt mark you have prepared, and let him listen in for 30 seconds….

Can you see how much fun that is? Well, go try it out!

Read Books When Driving? Look For Audio Books!

Monday, February 5th, 2007

Find audio books. Printed books are beautiful, we love them, but can you read a book and drive? Some people think they can, and how that ends we don’t really want to tell here…..

To download an audio book and have it ready to listen to when you drive is the smarter solution!

With audiobooks you can use otherwise dull time to get entertained. Or you could be learning a foreign language for instance. It’s also a lot easier to have audio files that you can load on to your MP3 player, rather than having to lug CDs and a bulky CD player.
