People keep asking about creating affiliate links so I thought I'd show how it is done. I really do like Angi's stuff. So I think I'll start with her shop. I have this blog, and I'd like to make a commission for selling Angi's stuff. So first I go find a place in her shop to link to. I've copied the address of the section. Now I'm going to create a link to "Funny Things Dogs Do and Think."
Notice that the original URL or web address was http://www.cafepress.com/artbyangi/508083 but I added ?pid=1074121 to it. The ? tells the system to expect an instruction. The pid= tells the system that there is an affiliate id coming. And the number is my affiliate id. That is all there is to it. When someone clicks on the link they get a cookie with my pid. If they buy something from the shop the system knows that the original link came from me. So I get the credit.
How much credit do I get? 20% of the retail price - what the customer paid.
I can create a link to the affiliate program too.
