In order to open new languages, Natively needs to become an approved Amazon affiliate. That requires us to have 3 sales attributed to us in order to get approved.
amazon.uk (not critical for language, but makes Natively $$)
How to help:
Go to ハピネス 1 and click the appropriate amazon link.
Buy something on amazon with that same browser within 24 hours (it doesn’t need to be ハピネス 1).
Send a message here for me to know there should be a sale.
OR
Find an existing book on Natively you want to buy on that particular amazon
Copy the amazon url from the amazon site you’re targeting
Go to the Natively book page ‘Where To Find’ section, click the edit pencil in the upper right hand corner and add your link.
Click the generated link to your amazon. This will now tag your browser appropriately
Buy the book from that browser within 24 hours
Send a message here for me to know there should be a sale.
The second way has a better chance of success, but both ways do seem to work!
Any help you can give us is really appreciated and prospective learners of that language obviously appreciate it!
Thank you
PS: If you want to add an amazon we aren’t currently requesting, let us know below. We need to pre-apply for that amazon affiliate program before the sales can be attributed to us.
I just ordered 토끼전 with the second method and 전우치전 with the first (since I didn’t want to make two different orders) from Amazon .fr. And also a calendar, though Idk if that’ll count.
Sale accounted for on the dashboard! Should only need one more. FWIW, amazon emailed me recently saying I need to get the third sale relatively soon otherwise my pre-application will be terminated (you get 6 months for 3 sales). So, you’re coming in with the sales at the right time!
Excellent! Should only need one more after that. I will watch the dashboard to make sure they come through (it takes a day or two).
Now we have to wait. Unfortunately, it will probably take a week for the initial review to get back and we’ll most likely fail that. Then I have to appeal which will take another day or two and that one always seems to succeed.
After that, it’s easy. All in all, probably ~two weeks away pending all successful approvals
@bibliothecary the UK site got back with the first rejection and I’ve filed an appeal
I have a uk kindle, I’ll try buying some stuff later too, will update (hopefully will remember, if I don’t update until Saturday try reminding me - I put a reminder but the more the merrier in my case )
amazon.co.uk unfortunately didn’t work, argh. They rejected my appeal (first time that happened)… and they didn’t really respond to the content of my appeal. Seems simply unlucky. Haven’t reapplied yet so no need to try to buy.
Any news on amazon.fr? And do you still need orders for amazon.it? I’m probably going to buy some italian books soon, so I can do it through amazon.it (or amazon.fr if you need some new orders there, either way works for me) if it helps.
