Money making idea of the summer

Hello all,

So lets talk business.  My idea of the month has to do with Amazon Associates.  If you are not familiar with Amazon Associates, it is a commission based program where you can place Amazon product ads on your blog.  If anyone buys a product by clicking on your ad, you receive a commission.  The commissions are higher if you place the actual product on your site, and less if someone "clicks" through you link to buy a different product.

Anyway.  I am assuming most of you occasionally use Amazon.com to shop.  I already have an agreement with my old traning partner from http://fitnessfromgroundzero.blogspot.com.  If I am going to buy something on amazon I will use his associates account, and when he buys something he uses mine from http://thecaptainpower.blogspot.com.  By using each others accounts we receive commissions.

So lets work something out:  If you have blog sign up for the program, and lets trade commissions.  If you use mine let me know and I will even paypal you back part of the commission.

If you are going to use amazon anyway you might as well trade commissions with a buddy, and I'm up to about $80 so far just trading with one person.

Let me know , thecaptainpower@gmail.com

By the way, another similar idea is to sign up for refer.ly and then buy everything through links created through them. They pass on the commission to you, so you can basically refer yourself for stuff. Damn. Wish I thought of this before I went on a Rolex buying spree.

Anyone else tried refer.ly? I just tried it recently to buy a camera and seems like the commission is only 1% from Amazon so they basically must pocket 4-5%

Huh... you should email them and ask. They told me they aren't taking a cut yet. I tried it with a blog link, but I couldn't really tell what % I was getting.
