Our very own Amazon Store Page (old)

[Ellie]

Hi Simon

Sorry I was busy with the three kids - putting them to bed now but the url is http://www.elliekeaton.com

I can give you access if you want to put the store on the blog but obviously I dont want to post that info here lol

or you can email me the code and I can build a store (I think I can manage that!)

[Simon (Highwayman)]

Hi Ellie, I think it will have to wait until I get back to civilization (biggleswade) from the wilds of heathrow.

[Patti (baconater)]

Biggleswade.

Civilisation.

It is to laugh.

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

i will be flying into heathrow on saturday - should i get a native guide?

[Simon (Highwayman)]

All round the perimeter of heathrow are feeder villages (towns) completely dependent on the airport. It is interesting.......

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

oh dear. I knew I should have picked a different airport...

[Patti (baconater)]

It's horrid walking through the rabble on the way to the Virgin lounge. ;)

Seriously though, it's such a poorly designed airport.

I think Schiphol is my favourite airport. There can be thousands n thousands of people yet it still never feels crowded.

Or maybe Dubai...it's another good one.

Dubai airport is fantastic!

[Simon (Highwayman)]

Oh..... I hate Dubai airport. I try very hard not to fly through it. There are staff at the sports bar in Singapore airport who think I work there though ... :)

[Patti (baconater)]

Because you went behind the bar and poured your own drinks?

Dubai airport is great! Compare it to Kenya, Simon.

Or Lagos...

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

Trying to psych myself up for Heathrow... I have Dublin more of less sussed at this stage.

[Patti (baconater)]

Departing Heathrow is fine. Nice and organised.

Which terminal are you using?

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

Whichever one Aer Lingus uses. Terminal 1 I expect.

[Patti (baconater)]

It's Simon's bailiwick, Martin.

He has such a nice bailiwick, our Simon. :)

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

Now I'm singing
'Nick nack bailiwack, give a dog a bone,
This old man comes rolling home!'

[Patti (baconater)]

I'm sure he will be. As long as he can get out of London, anyway...

[Simon (Highwayman)]

Your book is in the store now Martin!

[Alastair]

Hi there, Sorry if I am asking the same thing as others - I am looking for advice on how best to highlight my ebook to people looking for career support and advice and also if I am allowed to share my ebook details with this group? Cheers very much, Alastair

[Patti (baconater)]

Hi Alastair

There are plenty of places within the group where you can promote your book.

Have a read through the threads, then please ask again if you find anything to be unclear.

[Alastair]

Yes good stuff Patti - I just checked out one of the other groups - cheers very much

[D.M. Andrews (author)]

I'm going to buy these through the store next week:



BUT, I would be more inclined to do so if my books were also in our Amazon store ;) Simon?

[Simon (Highwayman)]

@DM , to be honest I haven't really maintained the store for some time. I probably need to take another look at it and see what it is bringing to the party. You do qualify to have a book featured in the store and when I am nudged I am quite happy to add a book.

As far as your future purchases are concerned you have to make your own mind up whether to do it through the group. We earn pennies, not pounds from this and it all goes back into the group.

@Martin, if someone visits amazon through a url with @tag=ethings-21 in the amazon UK web address we get a small commission for 24 hours as long as the person does not use another commission code in that period.

Other forums are geared up to make sure their commission codes stay active. We are not in it for the money so we tend to lose out to more aggressive commission tagging.

[D.M. Andrews (author)]

I'll buy through the store to help the group a little. I'm an Amazon Associate myself and so I know the revenue is not great (usually non-existent).

I wonder if those covers come in other colours...could only find red or purple. Thought I saw a brown or black one when I was searching a week or two ago...

[D.M. Andrews (author)]

Goodies purchased!

[Patti (baconater)]

D.M. Andrews (GoodReads Author) wrote: "Goodies purchased!"

Yay!

Cookie for Darren!

[D.M. Andrews (author)]

Well, actually, let's hope it was your cookie that worked ;)

[Patti (baconater)]

D.M. Andrews (GoodReads Author) wrote: "Well, actually, let's hope it was your cookie that worked ;)"

Good point. :)

[Lorraine]

What's with the cookies today Patti?

[Patti (baconater)]

Dunno.

Maybe it's cuz I've not had time to eat yet this morning. Erm. Nor this afternoon.

[Lorraine]

COOKIES FOR PATTI !!!
Sending them out to you in a sec, got to perfect my frisbee moves first :)

[Patti (baconater)]

Lmao!

All I know is, if I don't eat soon I may as well wait til dinnertime...

[Lorraine]

Lol, just had that vision of people looking up at the sky and wondering what those cookie-ufos are !

[D.M. Andrews (author)]

Today my Forefront leather black/grey Kindle Touch case came, complete with reading light and freebie stylus pen !

Now I just need something to put inside it ;)

EDIT: It's quite smelly!

[Simon (Highwayman)]

It didn't go through the store Dm.

I will be taking a good look at the group store this weekend. Any ideas welcome.

[D.M. Andrews (author)]

What? But I saw the tag on the end of the URL when I went through to Amazon...

[Kath]

That happened to me with my computer. We'd have got a whole £2 too!

[Elle]

I read somewhere earlier this week that if you use another tag within a few hours of using our one, it will cancel it out!

Did you happen to do that?

[Jud]

I only use our tag

[Elle]

When you clicked via the email for ereader it has their tag on it, so sometimes with price drops/now on kindle i sometimes use their tag accidentally.

(also when you click through emails from amazon they sometimes have tags on them)

[D.M. Andrews (author)]

I can't be sure what I did afterwards, but I am visiting various Amazon pages all the time - though usually my own and other writers' (which are not generally associates' links).

[Simon (Highwayman)]

Yes, amazon is a jungle (see what I did there)

Tags over ride other tags. Some forums delete posts that have the wrong tags. I can't be bothered but it is nice when people do change links to our tag.

[Patti (baconater)]

YOU can't be bothered?

Oh, I am so biting my tongue here.

[Jud]

Me and Patti are like the tag police!

[Simon (Highwayman)]

But I am a very important IT geek and specifically prefer to show how clever I am by moving peoples internet bar around.:)

(Actually I have never moved an internet bar)

[Lorraine]

Ouch!

[Simon (Highwayman)]

Patti isn't talking to me now.

[Jay-me (Janet)]

Can one of you please tell me how to get the store tag onto these http://www.amazon.co.uk/Viking-Navilu...


Thanks

[Elle]

Just go to the address bar janet and add

&tag=ethings-21

to the end of the address :)

[Patti (baconater)]

Or click this, sweetheart.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Viking-Navilu...

[Jay-me (Janet)]

Thanks - ordered them :)

(Dog is sitting next to me now, groaning as she wants to go out and check that the cat isn't sat on the shed roof. The cat was sat there once last year, & the shed is no longer there but does that the stop the dog?)
