Referral Codes

When you are filling out what little information we ask you for to sign-up for BookwormMe.com you will see a place to enter a "Referral Code". This is a reference code for  one of the Street Team.  Street Team members are self-employeed students working on and around the campus.  He or she may have shown you the website while you were on campus going to class or maybe they handed you a BookwormMe.com Flyer or one of their Bookmark / Business Cards as a reminder to join the site.  Please look at the material they gave you. This is where they wrote their name and their Referral Code. If you have one please include that code in your sign-up information. That's how these entrepreneurial students get paid, it is commission only.  Remember, they are starving college students just like you and they will greatly appreciate you consideration.  Hey! Would you like to be part of the Street Team?  Look for the big bold logo and check out the fat cash opportunities on the site: www.BookwormMe.com

HotLinks

How to Make Your New Favorite Website a HotLink.

Click on Manage HotLinks at the bottom of the screen.

From My Hotlinks page, select the category from the drop down list. If it is a research site, categorizing it under ?Academia? makes sense. Discovered a great online store? Perhaps that would go under ?Stuff?.

Type in the name of the site as it should appear in the HotLinks text box.

Type in its corresponding web address in the HotLink URL box. For example, if you want to be able to read your favorite columnist in The Chicago Tribune, you would select Info from the Category drop down list, type Tribune in the Text box, and type www.chicagotribune.com in the URL box.

Click on Save HotLink and you are all done!

If later on you decide that link isn?t so ?hot? anymore you can easily delete it from your list.

Click on Manage Hotlinks at the bottom.

Click the X in the delete column next to the site you want to delete.

Click the Delete Hotlink

When it asks the infamous question??Are you sure you want to delete this Hotlink??? select Delete HotLink.

Safety Suggestions

• When you meet someone to buy or sell a book, arrange the meeting in a public place, during the day.
• Use available prevention mechanisms such as lighted walkways, locks, security doors, public transportation, and friends.
• Avoid being out alone at night. Go with a friend; use the bus or a taxi.
• If bicycling at night, use a light and wear light-colored clothing.
• Be aware of your surroundings. Avoid dark or hazardous areas.
• Let someone know where you are and when you will be leaving or arriving at a location.
• Meet in campus buildings during high-use times.
• Be alert. Walk confidently and pay attention to who is around you. Avoid using headphones.
• Report suspicious incidents and persons to the police immediately. Be as accurate and complete as possible in your descriptions.
• Lock your doors - your home or apartment doors, your residence hall door, and your car doors. Don't open your door until you know who is there.
• Don't let someone you don't know into your room, your home or your car.
• If you feel threatened by someone or uncomfortable because of something online, don?t meet with him/her, report it to the police
