Website besides Amazon?

INTERNET MARKETING

Because I live in California my account was closed and I used to make some income every month just by writing a short review and recommending books and dvd's that I liked on facebook and twitter.

I have been searching for another site that will give me commission the same was but I can't seem to find one. I have found plenty of sites that have affiliate programs but none of them have a way to link directly to a specific book or dvd, its always a general affiliate link to their home page.

If anyone has found anything that will work, I would appreciate some information.

Thank you!

I read amazon is working out their issues with the tax thing and should be re-opening their doors to Californian's and others soon.

  How are they going to compromise on this? I don't see CA shying away from this, as they look at this as a huge tax revenue generator...

You can also become an ebay affiliate.

  I was about to give you the same advice
  
  However, you have to be aware ebay is much more tough in choosing affiliated partners than any other website

  I don't know about CJ's affiliates selling books, but here are a few links that can help you deep link directly to products. (If a company on CJ sells books, perhaps their "products" are "books".)

  I did consider ebay but I decided against it for varies reasons, plus they didn't always have the books I wanted.
  
  I will check the other ideas out.
  
  Thank you.
  
  P.S. I really hope Amazon does "open their doors" back up for California residents. That would be great.
  
  Thanks

  As far as CJ goes, I think that you have to sign up with companies, then you can post links of their products (correct me if I'm wrong)...

Skimlinks is pretty easy to sign on to, and they may pay a higher percentage than Amazon if you didn't sell a whole lot there as Skimlinks gets a high percentage due to the volume of their affiliates. So they will pay you more unless you are at the highest level.

What about Barnes & Noble. They have an affiliate program as well. And they're the next closest to Amazon.com

  I checked out their affiliate program and even joined but seen no way to link to specific products, only to use the affiliate links and banners they provide.

I'd say your best bet is to join places like Commission Junction and Linkshare. Those two have a huge selection of companies that you can join as an affiliate. Depending on the company you choose, you should be able to deep link to specific products.
