A Scheme.
Okay well i’ve been musing on possible avenues for online earning and while doing that i have been playing around with Affiliate links.
Now for those unfamiliar an Affiliate link is a link that you can get hold of from websites (such as Amazon and many others) and these links are to either the site or direct to a product, if anyone on the web clicks on your affiliate link and then goes to the site (for example they follow your link to Amazon,) when they get there they are using Amazon as normal but if they buy anything you get a small percentage of the sale.
This system dosen’t cost the customer anything, it dosen’t cost the affiliate anything (unless they paid for advertising for the link) and it only costs the company a small portion of their margin.
So my question is what dose everyone think about a site, perhaps like a blog or basic forum where if you want to buy something you post about it first to give someone else a chance to link you to it via their Affiliate Link? Would you bother to use it?
It wouldn’t really benefit you other than you’d be helping someone else profit from your purchase.
Anyhow not a very interesting post this time but I just wondered what others thought of this as an idea.

who said this is not an interesting post? :p
That would be interesting for sure. It might help with a purchase. Sometimes I get upset I can’t find enough info on what I want to buy. I always want to know more.More detail and what I can and can’t do… It might be great if people did it. I hardly buy anything but like my mini notebook that I have… I’ve probably sold like over 5 just word of mouth. lol because I explained the benefits and easy travel accommodations. =D
@fabolousclown - Anyone with eyes and a brain lol
@pinktiger335 - Yea it could also be a kind of recommendations site too.
Haha sounds like you should try to become an agent for Mini Notebooks
@BFB1131 - Lol, wouldn’t that be nice. But, I hate selling. If it’s a job I wont do it. I don’t know what it is about selling and having to meet a specific quota that I don’t like. I’m suppose to already sell products (I love them, and people would benefit) but people don’t believe and I get tired… I’m a lazy sales person it seems. xp oh well
