Over the summer I had met some inspiring people.
Case in point, on July 1st I received an email from Rick Parussel. Rick runs an online bookstore selling ebooks for cell phones, smartphones, PDA, PCs and some dedicated ebook reader devices.
Anyway, Rick wanted me to help promote his store, The Plot Thickens (I LOVE that name!) on Cool Site of the Day but after learning more about his site and his affiliate/referral program I realized that this is a perfect addition for thousands of my readers’ own websites. No brainer!!
SO LISTEN: if you operate a website that enjoys a high number of page impressions or send out email newsletters then you’re going to love adding this source of revenue to your site.
I know many of you rely on pay-per-click or banner ads to generate revenue, however, these forms of ads are limited. They typically don’t wholly relate to the content of the websites that host them, which means that the websites’ visitors are likely to regard the ads as distractions and ignore them. You just need to ask yourself, how often d o you click on an ad when you visit a website?
This is exactly why I like The Plot Thickens.
Their referral scheme is a form of advertising that leaves you in control, meaning that you can boost your advertising revenue by making sure that it engages with your website’s visitors. It even lets you offer them a discount on their first book.
If you operate a blog, an online magazine or an email newsletter that’s related to books, cell phones, ebook readers or even hobbies & interests then I’m sure that you’ll be able to use their referral scheme to boost your advertising revenue. You can read more about it here:

HERE’S HOW IT WORKS: First, you offer your website visitors or newsletter readers a voucher, which they can use to save 5% off the price of an ebook. They will then enter a referrer code, unique to you, into The Plot Thickens. This will indicate to The Plot Thickens that their new customer has been referred to them by you and they will then pay you 10% of the list price of every ebook that the customer then buys over the subsequent year. So, if that customer buys 10 ebooks in their first year at a cost of $5 each then you will earn $5 for that one referral.
There are no risks or costs to you and you are in complete control over how much or how little you promote their website.
