An affiliate program allows you to earn commissions for the work you do helping to sell a product or a service on the Internet... in this case, my four-piece writing package.
2. How do you sell digital products?
You start by recommending products your visitors are likely to be interested in. If you sell granite countertops, we're no good to you! But if you reach an audience of fiction writers....
Tell them about my package! Then link them to my sales page, where they'll actually make their purchase.
(You'll need a special link - easy to get. More on that in a minute.)When your visitor comes to my site and buys the package, you receive a 50% commission, (which works out to about $11 after credit card fees and the like).
3. How do you get paid?
Our affiliate program is run by ClickBank. After a sale is made, your commission is credited to your ClickBank account. (ClickBank offers tens of thousands of other products to promote as well.)
4. How do you sign up?
You need a ClickBank user name, which gets built into your special link so ClickBank can track your sales. Setting this all up takes only a few easy minutes.
Click here to sign up with ClickBank. (This will open a new window. That way you can return here once you have your ClickBank user name.)
Go! I'll see you when you get back!!! (Contact me if you need help.)

Don't be INSANE about it. But if you think a particular audience or someone you know might benefit from my writing package, link 'em up! As long as they follow your link, if they purchase YOU get that commission.
Here's what your link should look like
http://YourID.4u2write.hop.clickbank.net (Replace YourID with your ClickBank user name.)
Here are some sample text ads
You're free to use them as is, modify them or create your own.

Quotes
Nothing speaks to a great product better than the people who loved it! Feel free to quote these writing package customers:
I read your entire site before I bought the books, and appreciated your honesty, wit, and insight. I am glad that you state that writing and publishing is not easy. From your description I thought that these books might be just the impetus I need. And I am very glad that I have them!
These books not only gave creative ideas and ways to see a story, and the various elements, they also encourage variety. Reading these books gave me so many new ideas, or possibilities with some of the ideas that I already have. I recommend all writers to read these! Goodbye writers block!
Emily from Georgia, US
I've been a writing tutor for two correspondence schools for quite a few years and would certainly recommend these books to my students. I'm the author of nearly 30 books for children but enjoy reading what others say about the craft, especially when it's done succinctly without a lot of padding. Your 44 variations on The Three Little Pigs is such a gem! It made me think - and laugh. I knew about "what if..." but had never seen it applied to one simple tale as you have done.
Stephanie from Buckinghamshire, UK
Worth every cent and then some :)
Katie, Colorado, US
The ideas were solid and a great jump-off point. Also great to use for specific writing exercises - A whole writing class in a little pdf!
Sally, Utah, US
Steve has given us permission to say "open sesame!" and plunder his vault of knowledge!
This talented and credentialed writer generously shares his expertise with aspiring authors. No matter where you are on the learning curve, there is something new to absorb. I have paid a lot of money for inferior information on other sites. Steve is an incredible bargain at ten times this price!!
Suzanne, Massachusetts, US
These books are wonderful resources. They are great because they are so concise - the points are very clearly expressed.
I like the application of a checklist or set of tools for creative writing - this is great for a new writer who has lots of vague ideas but is stuggling with originality and plot structure. I'll recommend. Thank you!
Jan, UK
The books were short, concise and easy to read. Examples were always given to illustrate the points being made.
You don't always need revolutionary ideas to get you moving in the right direction. Sometimes it just takes someone to state the obvious in a way that makes you look at a situation from a new perspective, which is what your books accomplished.
Jonathen, Essex, UK
I really enjoyed both books.
The "44 ways..." was, for me, the most impressive, simply because you came up with sooooo many ideas based on one simple premise. You're very good at this. I'm green with envy.
I've been writing for 30 years and story construct still causes me agony. I'll never be as light-footed as you, but I certainly got some good pointers out of the books. The stand-out statement for me was: "The essence of fiction is a main character facing a circumstance that he/she can't bear to have continue." That's the best summing up of story I've heard.
Dianne, NSW, Australia
Your books really opened my eyes to new possibilities in stories by just changing my POV and asking myself a whole lot of 'Why' questions.
Janeen, Mpumalanga, South Africa
The most valuable information about the creation of children's books that I have encountered.
Jon, California, US
Needless to say...
I'd be honored to have YOU representing my books. Any questions? Please contact me.
