Jason:

Why sell books on the Internet through Amazon Associate Program? When being
so many other places to hook on. While Amazon.com is the best known and
largest of
the Internet booksellers, it is not the only bookseller that offers an
associate program.
Check out following sites listed below:

1. Book Stacks Unlimited (http://www.books.com)
they pay 12% commission on any sales you refer to them; unlike Amazon.com,
they pay on all sales made on the site by your referral (and not just the
title you
referred).

2. Books Now, The Virtual Bookstore (http://www.booksnow.com). Like Amazon.com,
they pay an 8% commission on any sales you refer to them; unlike Amazon.com,
they pay on all sales made on the site by your referral (and not just the title
you referred). (400,000 titles searchable by author, title, or ISBN) I am
currently working with them, have no complain so far.

3. Booksmith (http://www.booksmith.com) They pay 10% of every
sale. ( 45,000 titles)

4. CBooks Express (http://www.cbooks.html) They pay a flat $10.00 commission
for each new customer who makes a purchase via their site. (Computer books )

5. Cherry Valley Books (http://www.cherryvalleybooks.com) Features only
books for children and parents. Their associate program pays 8% on all book
sales
referred from your site.

6. The Internet Bookshop (http://www.bookshop.co.uk). Features 894,000
titles. They also offer a Partnership Program (for details, e-mail:
pp_at_bookshop.co.uk.

For more information about these sites and many other more places, take a
look at:

In my opinion "Open Horizon" has done an excellent research on this topic.
