Books Available August 26, 2012...and would you consider helping?

Have you enjoyed any of the books you've downloaded from here, or been inspired in some way? Would you consider helping me keep going?

Firstly, I would LOVE to hear about it.  Please let me know!  The other day someone wrote in a post on another site that they had started charcuterie after reading a book they'd downloaded here.  I was so thrilled!  A month or two ago someone else actually did the same thing.  I can't tell you how encouraging that is.*

Secondly, if you sincerely like coming here and find it useful, would you consider recommending this blog as a good resource on any other self-sufficiency, survival, or preparedness website that you frequent?  I would love to get this around more, as it represents quite a bit of time and is a decent resource.  But I really dislike promoting it myself; in fact I don't think I have anywhere yet except for usually weekly mentions on the survivalist blog while talking about other things.  Any help here would be really appreciated.

Thirdly...Over 2 months ago a very kind reader advised me to become an Amazon Associate. I didn't see why right away because I just wrote about free books.  But I found out that if someone clicks on one of my "freebie" links and then goes on to buy something else right away, I get a small referral percentage.  So I started doing that just in case it happened by chance, but didn't mention it because I didn't want to be seen as fishing or pushy.  Over time, little bits started trickling in and it was nice for me, but even more for the family, because once I told them this blog was "making money" they were much more forgiving of the time it was taking.  I didn't mention that it was bringing at most an average of $1 for each hour I spent.  :)  I'm not sure how gracious they would be day after day...after day...after day... if I was that clear about it.  Haha, can you imagine?  Making the long hours worth it to my family is actually my main motivation for writing this.

So, if a link here has inspired you, or say something you see or download reminds you of something missing from your stash or BOB, or a canning tool you needed, or a book you want to read, or something like that, would you please consider making sure you've clicked on one of these links before purchasing that item?

IMPORTANT: I don't want to request Amazon purchases that might take away from supporting other sites that you already do.  If you already like to buy through MD's link because you get so much from that site, please know I'm not asking that you stop.  I get so much from the community there at the survivalist blog and want it to keep going!  But if you download a free book from here about, say, dehydrating, and it inspires you to buy print books about dehydrating, or a banana slicer, or even a dehydrator, would you consider clicking on one of the links in a post here first?

Thank you so much for taking the time to read this!  I appreciate it!
