This is a MONETIZATION ADD-ON for Steemit. If you want to make more money on Steemit, you can add shit. Don't rely on the tools within Steemit.com -- make your own tools, live by your own rules. Be the lion of your own jungle.
Which is why I'm adding Amazon Affiliate links to my blog. I've already purchased at least three books straight off of the recommendations of Steemians. Yet I don't know if they got a cent for it, other than my upvote.
In my own blog I link to books all the time. Why not earn 4% as a referral fee? It won't change anything about my blog, but it will help to fortify the income "pillar."

As an experiment, do you mind clicking on my first affiliate link? This will help me to test and see if the link is working. Just click this image to do so:
The book will change your life by the way. If you feel like you want to become more grateful for your own life, the first 100 pages of that book are more powerful than any other gratitude/mindfulness exercise I know of. Compared to the horrors of the holocaust, everyday life is divine -- and Viktor relays his lessons in a gentle enough way as to not be preachy or overly melancholic. Great book.
This is a beautiful print, a nice hardcover but not too hard, the cover design is beautiful and the print is gorgeous in real life. A steal for $16.
Going forward, whenever I'm going to link to something that I'm enjoying, I will use an affiliate link. I promise not to try and sell you shit for no reason. Every recommendation will be a thing I know and love. Case in point:
If this works out, it will be very exciting -- because then other Steemians can follow suit. Maybe this is a new part of the "Steem Standard," where you do everything you can to monetize and improve your income pillar here.
I'll include some of these links in my posts in June, then will report back in July to let you know if I'm earning anything. If not, no harm no foul. If so, awesome!!
