I really am surprised more comic book publishers haven't gotten in to running an affiliate program for their books -- especially now that graphic novels and trade paperbacks are so widespread. An affiliate program would even work well for print on demand (POD) publishers because it would give them a sales/marketing force while still leaving them a good chunk of the remaining profits. No longer would they wind up losing money when trying to get their book distributed. Feel free to drop by for more tips...oh, and my other site, New Affiliate Help, might have some additional information you'd be interested in. Check it out at http://www.NewAffiliateHelp.com. -Mat N.

The affiliate program is a fantastic idea in my opinion and I think once I start selling something, I'm going to get hooked up with this.
