Books Affliate Programs

Although affiliate programs in this industry are rather on the low end of the payout scale, it's enough for those looking to make a few extra bucks a week. Once again, it depends on the company that runs the book affiliate program as to what your earnings will be. The better known it is, the easier it will be to make a sale.

These are the best books affiliate programs I was able to find online. I have looked over their terms and conditions and the rules seem to be straight forward. Have a look around and see if there's something of interest to you.
