Participating in the round up is quick and easy (and free, and optional!)

So get “rounded up” today! Here is all you have to do:

• Track down a copy of your Amazon.com receipt clearly showing your name, the “IAM Success Tips” book that you purchased, your email address and your original shipping address
• Forward this receipt to “info   at   linksbusinessgroup.com”. Put the words “Amazon Round Up” in the subject line for fastest service

That’s it! You will receive a confirmation in 2 – 3 days that your name and book have been registered with us.
