You can start earning money today while showing your support of independent booksellers across America! Link to IndieBound.org, and your site will reflect the best qualities of independent bookstores: extraordinary service, passion, thoughtful book recommendations, commitment to your community, and independence.

Our online family of independent booksellers offers customers over 3 million titles. We give you all the tools you need to sell books through your website. Whether you feature one book or many books on your site, joining the IndieBound.org Affiliate Program will extend the passion and knowledge of independent bookstores into your online community and earn you generous commissions.

Our program is simple, and it's free. We monitor traffic and sales, and generate reports and commission checks. Visitors follow the links from your site and purchase books through the IndieBound.org family of independent bookstore websites; you earn you referral fees. (If a visitor doesn't begin the journey on your site, we can't track his purchase, so it can't be counted for affiliate commissions.)

Here’s how it works:
Complete the Enrollment Form, review our Affiliate Agreement, and if you agree to the terms, click "Accept."

Within 48 hours of your enrollment, we'll email you an acknowledgment and, if your site is accepted in the program, a unique Affiliate ID name. The Affiliate ID is essential for creating the links to track the visitors you send to IndieBound.org.

You create the links from your site to ours. Either link directly to the information page for a book you are featuring on your site, or, if you are not featuring any title in particular but want to offer your visitors the chance to support independent booksellers, then link to the IndieBound.org home page.
