Enter My February Book-Selling Contest


Update: Contest is over.

How would you like to earn 20.7% on an Amazon.com Associates sale, instead of the standard 4%?  Well, you can from today until the end of February.

I'm sponsoring a book-selling contest for my book "Stock Trading Riches". 

I noticed that the recent volatility in the stock market has caused sales of my book to increase in the last few weeks.  I decided to capitalize on this trend by having the contest.

Not only can you get the regular 4% (48 cents) Amazon Associates commission, but you can also get $2 from me for each copy you sell, until the end of February.  This is a total of $2.48 on an $11.99 book.

In addition, the one who sells the most books by the end of February will win an extra $25, plus a permanent link (with your choice of anchor text) in a post from my Simple Trading System blog (PR 4).

Here are the details:

1. Take the link above and change the "tag" parameter to your Amazon Associates id.

2. Offer a free product (book, report, etc.) to anyone who buys the book through your link and sends you their Amazon receipt.  Promote this offer to your blog, website, and/or list.  This is a chance for you to build your opt-in list and/or engage in viral marketing (if your free product has give away rights).

3. Update: Contest ended.

4. I will pay you $2 by paypal right away.  I will record the amazon receipt number, so each receipt can only be submitted once for the contest.

5. I will track how many sales came from each paypal id.  So, please give the same id every time you forward a receipt. 

6. At the end of February, the paypal id with the most sales will receive an additional $25. 

7. I will also ask the winner to send me a URL they want a link to, and the anchor text they want.  I will give them a permanent link on my post announcing the winner.

8. For promotional materials, please feel free to copy anything from the sales letter on http://www.StockTradingRiches.com.

Thanks Calvin!

I got the idea for a affiliate contest like this from the blog of James D. Brausch.

He seems to be a really great internet marketer.
