When I got my mail the day before Thanksgiving and saw that I had a Christmas card I thought 2 things:
“Already, REALLY people?”
and
“Oh no, I better get going on our Christmas cards!”
But I loved what I saw when I opened it up and I will totally forgive Stacy Kennedy for sending her cards BEFORE Thanksgiving because it is pure brillance. Several months ago Stacy set up an Amazon Affiliates link and has faithfully been spreading the word. Every time someone enters Amazon via their link and buys something, a percentage goes to the Kennedy’s and they put it directly in their adoption fund.
And of course it’s the biggest shopping season of the year. So tucked inside their card was their letter sharing the news of their adoption and then 4 of these cute little business cards (see front and back below). One for me, 3 to give away.
I’ve been doing all my Amazon shopping through the Kennedy link for months now. I just put a bookmark on my bookmark bar where I can always see it – it’s pretty much become habit.
The Kennedy’s set up the link in August and so far have made $597. Not bad huh?

Thanks for forgiving me for sending out our Christmas card before Thanksgiving! I highly doubt that will EVER happen again! :)) And thank you for your book!! It sits on our coffee table as a reference and as a reminder of God’s provision for our family.
What a terrific idea! I am wondering about some specifics. I have an Amazon Associates account, and I’d love to do the same thing. I’m new to the program, however, and can’t seem to figure out exactly what link to send to my friends so they can purchase through my affiliate link. I know my tracking ID, but I’m not sure how to convert it to a full link. Any ideas? Thanks for sharing this!
