A Small Charitable Request
Posted by TFG on November 11th, 2011
That link (^^^up^^^there^^^) is to Amazon.com, and includes my Associate ID. I’ve been an Associate for a loooooong time, and never really bothered to pimp it much, usually because I forget. I think I’ve made $10 in the last five or six years. Well, now things are an eensy bit different, and so I’m asking for your help. If you’re reading this, you’re online, and if you’re online, you probably have shopped at Amazon and will continue to do so. By using my link above, with my Associate ID, you will be contributing to me at no additional cost to you. Sweet deal…win-win-win.
I suggest you click-n-drag that link to your bookmark bar or Favorites folder or whatever you use for organizing your links (browsers are hard), so it’s readily available for your E-Z ordering needs.
I’ll also be pimping Amazon a little more regularly here, almost always with personal recommendations, but sometimes with general categories and stuff that looks cool. I hope you don’t find it annoying, but times change, circumstances change, and it’s a must-do instead of a wanna-do these days.
The absolute first thing I recommend, if you’re a regular Amazon shopper and you’re not already a member, is an Amazon Prime Membership. As far as I’m concerned, this is the best deal on the internet tubes today. For $79/year, you get
- Free two-day shipping on almost every item
- Instant streaming of thousands of movies and teevee shows
- Access to the Kindle Lending Library
I’ve run four years of my own various businesses using Amazon Prime for laptops, hard drives, networking gear, reference manuals, single-board computers, all manner of office supplies (like printers), and on and on and on. That two-day shipping is like having a warehouse full of stuff just up the road. Even *I* can plan around a two-day window. If you’re a regular Amazon user, you’re probably already a member, but just in case you’re not, I very highly recommend it. Heck, Amazon is even selling ammo these days!

I am a regular Amazon user and I’ll start using your link here. I had no idea you could use Prime to run a business. Makes sense.
Well, a small business…if you’re just getting started or don’t have the means to buy in bulk.
I do alot of my shopping (especially around the holidays) on Amazon. I’m a Prime member, but had no idea I could stream movies or borrow from the Kindle library. Thanks for sharing your link.
