B&N Now Paying Commissions On Nook Sales

By Best-eReaders, March 23, 2010

B&N just sent an email to it’s business partners and affiliates, announcing it will now start paying commissions on Nook sales. That’s including Nook accessories as well like extended warranty and cases. Comissions will be paid on shipped orders only and are currently standing on 6%. This step comes months after the official launch of the Nook reader, following repeated requests from Barnes & Nobles affiliates and business partners.

They will have hard time competing against Amazon’s affiliate programs which offers 10% commissions on all Kindle products (Except eBooks sales which affiliates are not getting paid for.)

Here’s a part of the email sent to affiliates:

nook™ by Barnes & Noble, now commissionable!

Dear Valued Publisher,

You asked and we listened!  We are excited to announce the following change to the Barnes & Noble Affiliate Program, effective today:

   – All affiliates will earn 6% commission on nook™ sales!

And don’t forget, you also receive 6% on sales of the following:

   – nook™ warranties (NEW)

   – eBooks

   – nook™ accessories

Now all products sold on BN.com are commissionable!

However, B&N has a major advantage over Amazon – It does pay it’s affiliates on eBook sales. With eBooks sales quadruple in the US in January 2010 that could mean a lot of money for B&N and a better chance to survive the fight against Amazon and the upcoming Apple iPad.

B&N is operating it’s affiliate program thru the Google Affiliate Network.
