Krause Publications, a producer of coin and paper money magazines, books, online properties and events, has launched an affiliate program with the aim of giving hobbyists the chance to be rewarded for promoting the publisher's products. Through the new affiliate program, collectors, businesses, website operators or any other party interested in coin and paper money collecting can earn a referral bonus of 12 percent on any purchase from KrauseBooks.com that they generate. The company said the payout is up to 5 percent higher than other competitive referral programs.

"Coin and paper money collectors worldwide have enjoyed our books, magazines and other products, and often recommend them to their friends and fellow enthusiasts," said Scott Marinaro, manager of content licensing and syndication for Krause Publications. "With these enthusiasts in mind, we created our affiliate program to financially reward them for continuing to promote our books, CDs, DVDs, and digital downloads."

Krause Publications, owned by F+W Media, offers more than 40 periodicals, 10 hobby shows, 750 reference and how-to books, and web properties such as NumisMaster.com, the online coin price database.
