I’ll be honest, Zazzle is one of my least favorite one-off t-shirt manufacturers because of the way everything is set up over there.  But I have to give them credit for sticking with their version of the affiliate program while Cafepress is still in the process of decomissioning theirs in favor of … ugh … a Commission Junction run program.

From the latest Zazzle Newsletter:

So how about making some money for doing nothing? With Zazzle, you can do it! All you have to do is post links to Zazzle (any link to Zazzle will do, not just to your own products) with your special referral ID. Just add “?rf=” at the end of ANY Zazzle url (like http://www.zazzle.com) that you have on your blog, website, myspace page or whenever you email your friends. That way, when those visitors buy anything (within 30 days of linking over) you are going to make a referral percentage of that sale. Pretty sweet eh?!

How do I do this?
So how do you *actually* do this? It’s really easy,

Easy right? Now if you don’t know your associate ID, just go to your Associate Account page in myZazzle, look at the upper right corner, and voila!! There is the associate ID.

I stand by my recent comments that Cafepress is making a huge mistake with their recent actions and farming out the affiliate program.  And they lost me as an affiliate for sure with the move to Commission Junction.
