After Buy Nothing Day / Amazon Associates Program

[Allan Balliett]

Thanks to the many who have 'reminded' me about this again this year!

I've just re-installed the 'real' gardening for the future pages whick include to linkthrough portal to Amazon.com.(http://www.gardeningforthefuture.com)

I'm writing this to ask you that if you are doing Christmas shopping for yourself or other loved one and you plan to use Amazon.com as a supplier, if you will take the time to access Amazon.com through the logo in the upper right hand corner at http://www.gardeningforthefuture.com BD Now! will receive a small commission on your purchases!! There is absolutely no cost to you and the shipping of your order is not delayed in the least. This is a great opportunity to pass some juice to this list while going about your personal business as usual. (This symbiosis ONLY works if you initiate your visit to Amazon through http://www.gardeningforthefuture.com. Unlike earlier years, now EVERYTHING you purchase on a visit ONCE YOU ENTER THROUGH THE PORTAL accrues a commission for BD Now! Oh, joy!)

What a painless way to help us get back on our feet here! (This meaning much more right now than it has other years!) It only costs you a little effort (going through http://www.gardeningforthefuture.com instead of directly) and, at no cost to you, BD Now! gets a small commission! A great opportunity for co-evolution within the dot-com sphere, no? ;-)

I said this last year "In the very near future I'll put up a list of recommended biodynamic and 'Gardening for the Future' books. If you order these directly from http://www.gardeningforthefuture.com, BD Now! will earn commissions up to 12 per cent of the purchase price!" Given the black hole we are looking into here for the next several months, maybe I'll get my deadened ass into gear and implement this promise.

Posts like this always raise questions about what the Ballietts will do with 'all this money.' To give this perspective: The smallest quarterly check that Amazon will write is $25. The BD Now! amazon account has failed to accrue as much as $25 with ALL the quarters of Year 2002 combined! A few good Christmas orders should help us free our accrued commissions for this past year!

Thanks for your support! Thanks in advance for your support this Christmas (And many thanks to those of you who have gone to great efforts throughout this year to buy from Amazon through BD Now!! Your efforts and your support are very much appreciated.)
