| 0:12.0 | Everybody, Pat Fland here, and welcome to episode 493 of Ask Pat. |
| 0:15.0 | Thank you so much for joining me today. |

| 0:20.0 | All right, here's today's question from Brittany. |
| 0:23.4 | Hey, Pat, Brittany here from BeHooked Crochet. |
| 0:26.4 | My question for you is in regards to affiliate marketing for low dollar items. |
| 0:31.2 | My website is devoted to teaching, sharing, and inspiring the art of crochet, |

| 1:29.4 | with the small income on my taxes, and what are your thoughts on scalability when promoting low |
| 1:35.1 | dollar items? Thank you so much for all you do. Your wisdom has helped me tremendously, |
| 1:40.4 | and I can attribute much of my success directly to you and your efforts. |
