AMAZON! How relaxing was that then?

Today I was adding affiliate links and I snooshed along over to Amazon. My niche is within the huge travel topic so have had a few worries about which way to develop my niche. Thinking of Amazon made me slightly anxious, but once I was over there, gosh! What a nice surprise!

It was so easy to learn how to do the links to pop into my page; I decided to put together a carousel link featuring between 8-10 items. I chose to use the Lonely Planet guides, I have a full bookcase with these things and I know, from a travellers point of view, they can be addictive (I am also a book-a-holic, so a bad combination!)

Well, I soon chose my books to add to the carousel, but then... it happened! I ended up on Amazon searching for books for me, not for work! I just KNEW that would happen!

I was so relaxed doing looking through all these fantastic books I had to give myself a quick slap and get on with the work I was supposed to be doing!

When I started with WA I was hoping I had found the right program this time, then when I thought I had I was hoping I would enjoy it, and I did - and now, well, I need to get a WA affiliate site up as I am ready to tell everyone how good this is, not just for work, but for showing you CAN do it!
