1. To copy the Images right mouse click on the image which you wish to use then choose Save Picture As.

Then select the folder that you wish to save the image in. Then Add the Image to your Web Page, using your usual editor.

For Linking purposes this image will be hyper linked using a unique URL which you will be told about when your application for the Affiliate Scheme has been successful. This unique URL will be your portal to earning serious money on the SprintBooks Affiliate Scheme.

2. After the basic insertion of the product image and name/description, remember that you are trying to sell rather than just display these products.

So, to make it clear, you can call this section of the site a shop or store. And next to each product you have featured you can put a link (either text, image or button) saying "buy", "order now" or something similarly unambiguous. In fact, a good way is simply to have a "Buy Now from SprintBooks". This takes advantage of SprintBooks' reputation for good service and fast delivery.

3. If your selling the products via a special page or section of your site, make sure people know it's there by linking prominently from your home page, and other popular pages.

Also, keep in mind that over 40% of sales of books are of new titles in their first months after publication. in order to stay up to speed with your customers needs, ask for notifications on the relevant subject areas and we'll send you details of the relevant new books as soon as they come out.
