Do You Shop on Amazon? (by Stephen Simpson)

Have you ever purchased anything on Amazon.com?  Maybe you bought a book or some sheets.  Perhaps you splurged and bought a kindle.  Whatever it was, did you realize that your purchase could have helped support the ministry at FBC?

It is really quite simple.  Amazon has created an affiliate program where websites (like ours) can earn money by promoting Amazon.  In other words, Amazon will send FBC money if we send them paying customers.  The neat thing is that many of us already shop at Amazon.  We have already found out that they often have the lowest prices around and they offer Free Shipping for many of their orders.

How does this work?

Once again, it is really quite simple.  You may have noticed that we have links to Amazon on the sidebar of our blog.  We also place links to items within our blog posts.  For example, all of the links in this post are 'FBC links.'

If you go to Amazon.com through one of our 'FBC links' and complete a purchase, then FBC will earn a commission from your purchase.  If you simply type "www.amazon.com" and then complete your purchase, then FBC will not earn a commission.

Will Amazon.com charge me more for purchasing items this way?

Nope.  Their prices are same regardless of whether FBC earns a commission or not.

Does FBC earn a commission on everything I buy?

Yes!  You can buy dishes, books, laptops, mp3 players, tools, diaper bags, formula, jewelry, exercise equipment, automotive parts, etc.  Think of Amazon as your 'online supercenter!'

How much does FBC earn?

The base earnings rate is 4% and increases as more items are purchased.

So, we encourage you to shop at Amazon through one of our affiliate links.  Your purchases will help support the ministry of FBC.  Leave us a comment if you have any questions about this.
