I would like to thank everybody that has been benefiting from the website and has clicked the 
and purchased a textbook from Amazon! So far we have made £90 for charity and are hoping to double or triple this figure before September 2010! You can help make it happen.
ALL revenue from the sale of Textbooks will be donated to a Children’s or Educational related charity. You can vote for which charity you want to benefit from the money we raise below. If you have any comments please feel free to leave them here!
How does IBDamned make money from me buying a book at Amazon?!
If you click 
from IBDamned you are redirect to Amazon.co.uk or Amazon.com (depending on whether you click the UK or USA button). When you purchase a textbook Amazon pay IBDamned 5% of what you pay. So if you purchase a number of textbooks for £50 or $50, Amazon gives IBDamned £5 or $5, respectively. All this ‘revenue’ is what will be donated to charity.’
Why do Amazon pay IBDamned?
Amazon pay a percentage to website owners as a sort of ‘motivation’ for the website owner sending people to Amazon to buy something, thus making Amazon money. This sort of agreement between IBDamned and Amazon is called an ‘Affiliation’. Most websites that send people to Amazon were built purposely to do this, so the website owner can make money. However, the 5% that Amazon give me will not personally be for me, All of it will be donated to Charity.
But what about the website hosting and other costs of the site?
Good question. Hosting a website with a lot of visitors like IBDamned doesn’t come cheap. As I’m only an IB Student myself I am not made of money. So a small amount of money that is made from Amazon will be used to pay for the website hosting. I would love to be able to donate 100% of the revenue to charity, but this isn’t possible unless people were to donate to pay for the website upkeep, instead by buying textbooks using our Amazon links you help pay for the website to remain on the internet and also the vast amounts that will be left over are donated to charity!
Why are you doing this?
IBDamned is part of my Creativity, Action and Service. I have got a lot out of making this website so far, and there is a huge benefit at the end of it. Money for charity, but also a huge section of my CAS requirement being complete!
What are your plans for the future?
Well, I’m planning on adding many new textbooks to the website in the coming weeks as there are a great deal more textbooks that have recently been released. After that I’m going to try and get the International Baccalaureate Organisation to help spread the word about the website, I think this website is a fantastic resource and the more people that know about it, the better!
What can I do to help?!
There are a number of things!
1) Whenever you want to buy a textbook come and search for it on IBDamned and purchase it through out link @ Amazon.
2) If you ever want to buy ANYTHING at Amazon you should do so using these links:
AMAZON UK
AMAZON USA
Using the above links to buy anything on Amazon will still result in IBDamned receiving 5% of what you spend, The more for charity the better!
3) Submit more reviews for IB Textbooks! If you have a textbook and you have an opinion of it, share it! By providing reviews you’ll be helping other students know which books to buy!
4) Tell your friends!! If you know other IB Students or have friends that know IB Students, then let them know about this site so they can help out too.

Can I set up an account all of whose proceeds will be donated to charity?
Associates may donate their earnings to a charity, but may not announce to their visitors in any way that a portion or all of the proceeds will go to a particular charity.

Hi, I’m not 100% sure of what you are asking…
This is how it works: All of the money that is earned within Associates is paid into my bank account, I will send the money to charity. I’m currently awaiting instructions from UNICEF on how to send the £130 we have made so far.
Once UNICEF have responded and the money is sent, I will provide proof for all to see, as I can understand some people may feel we’re not legit, but I promise, we are!
