As part of my website building projects I try to stay up-to-date on simple tools to use for my clients. One model that could be helpful for churches is a connection to the Amazon Affiliates program. A neat example would be for a Book Club discussion, were the church would be able to get a 4-6% referral rate on each sold book through a link on its website.
So for example, if a book club would like to discuss [amazon_link asins=’0684815001′ template=’NameLink’ store=’ispeculatenet-20′ marketplace=’US’ link_id=’884e2f29-d9b2-11e6-8176-85f1b02b0c35′], the link would bring the user to the book on Amazon, and the church would receive a certain percentage of the price paid.
