I might have people interested but I don’t want to sell them a pipe dream.
Are affiliates still a option? If so, do they get 15% regardless of the category of items?
Is it wiser for me to promote other people’s work rather than mine? 10% vs 15% Just wondering. I have an old unfinished site with zazzle products that are mine. It is too much work to change links at this point. Would I get the old 15%? I have had some personal issues so way out of touch.
@Mistica You would get the old 15% if your website links still have your Affiliate ID attached (that’s called Cross promotion)

Whether you’d be lucky enough to earn anything (with the whole 3rd party fun) is another thing
@Mistica And if you promote a tee-shirt of yours as an example you will actually make (slightly) more with your Affiliate ID attached (called Cross promotion) than with your Ambassador link so I my self cherry pick sometimes which link I choose for my own designs. I made $15.13 with Cross promotion and $3.09 with the Ambassador link this month. It’s really hard to make referrals either way but I do promote mine and other creators products on my own site and I will continue to do so.

Thanks Sara. You saved me a lot of time…better spent elsewhere as well as the humiliation of watching well meaning affiliates fail as well as my credibility
Thank you Mom for the warning, Sara’s link and clarification.
Oh… I get it! It’s worse than I thought. The Cross promotion link strips you of your royalty if it is your product. I notice the average royalty these days is 10% so the days of getting your royalty plus the 15% are gone as well.
@Mistica No, they are not gone!! They just aren’t as sweet anymore than they were before April Doomsday. I took you some screen shots since I have them. Of course the numbers are different because I have raised my royalty to 35%.
