    Hi David
    Re-affiliate programs:

    You could use Clickbank.com and register your books (separately) on there and have affiliates sell them for you on a commission basis.
    Check out clickbank.com and you will see how it works. (go to marketplace to see what is on offer to start with - it is huge)
    Doing it this way helps you with your marketing as well as having it as a downloadable product instantly. Clickbank always gives a 60 day money back guarantee for all products registered.

    Another good option is to start your own affiliate network and offer a commission to those who are willing to promote your products. This way you have a choice of not to give a money back guarantee which would prevent people copying your work and then asking for a refund!
    This does work well but involves another area of follow up in paying commissions and servicing buyers - whereas clickbank take care of all that part.

    There are also dropshipping companies which will dispatch your products on notification of purchase details etc. dropshipaustralia.com.au is one that shows on google  - but there are many. I have not used this at all but it is another alternative to dispatching your products yourself and no doubt there is a cost involved too.

    Another idea would be to offer incentives to your already listed members and that would build into your own affiliate structure.
    Do you have a Facebook page - another fabulous way to advertise at little or no cost??
    You could use the wonderful interviews that you have already had on aca etc. as part of your fan page as video inputs.
    Hope these ideas may be helpful to you
    Regards
    Bev

    I am also very interested in this area. I would welcome the opportunity to sell your books and program on a commission basis. i currently sell a lot of hearing aid batteries online, and think that your products would be a compatible adjunct.

    I am disappointed to find the the book "Sweet Poison" has neither an index nor a list of illustrations. It is frustrating flicking back through pages to find a diagram or graph, and laborious to underline and tag content items I want to come back to.

    Is it possible to obtain a copy of the book on CD? I would be willing to create both the index and list of illustrations (without recompense). Of course I would give an undertaking not to abuse the trust that giving me a CD version would involve.

    One reason that I want to do that is that I would like to prepare a one- or two-hour presentation to our local U3A group and other community organizations such as Men's Shed, Probus, Rotary. Lions, Zonta etc. These people are always looking for guest speakers and they certainly have significant numbers of members who could benefit from the knowledge you have made available.

    I live near Port Macquarie on the NSW mid-north coast, but of course, the internet makes that irrelevant in this context.

    I look forward to your reaction to these ideas.
    Regards

    John ... I'll run your idea for an index past Penguin (they legally own the right to do it) and get back to you ... re the talk ...some folks contacted me recently and asked if I would be prepared to do a talk/tour in your region (at their expense) ... I'll let you know what comes of it.

    Cheers

    David.
