America’s Hardcover and Bestseller Rental Book Club Helps Bloggers Profit During Down Economy

New York (PRWEB) December 12, 2009 -- BookSwim, America’s “Netflix-style” rental book club (http://www.bookswim.com/index.html?utm_source=PRWeb&utm_medium=press_release_text&utm_content=CJ_press_release_2009-12-11&utm_termt=bookswim.com&utm_campaign=CJ_press_release_2009-12-11), has partnered with the affiliate network Commission Junction, to help web publishers and bloggers earn 30% commissions on every last-minute Christmas and holiday gift card referral (https://www.bookswim.com/gift.html?utm_source=PRWeb&utm_medium=press_release_text&utm_content=CJ_press_release_2009-12-11&utm_term=last-minute_christmas_holiday_gift_card_referral&utm_campaign=CJ_press_release_2009-12-11).

“This Christmas Season, holiday shoppers don't want to spend $25 on one hardcover when they could give readers five or more book rentals with a $25 BookSwim gift card,” said Jeevan Padiyar, CEO of Bookswim.

“The struggling publishing industry has been hit by consumer demand for lower-price media, started by iTunes and the 99-cent iPhone Apps trend," continues Padiyar. "Amazon Kindle ebooks and the Barnes & Noble Nook e-reader device promise savings, but BookSwim is leading the growing book rental industry. We had an incredible 500% growth in BookSwim membership after our 2008 holiday gift card redemptions.”

“The landscape of blogging has changed as well,” said BookSwim Co-Founder and CMO George Burke. “Affiliate marketing programs, like Amazon Associates, are the new wave of direct sales. BookSwim is making it easy for anyone with access to a readership base, from professional writers to bloggers, and even Twitter or Facebook users, to earn some revenue.”

BookSwim invites bloggers to share in the company's financial success during its busiest month. Bloggers can promote through web posts, articles, product reviews, holiday gift guides, RSS and news feeds, email marketing, blog commenting, podcasts, YouTube vlogs, tweets, and social media profiles.
