Hia Again,

Well, today I took like 5 minutes and set this thing up. You know most of the time when I sign up for this kind of thing, I’m really just checking it out to see what other people are doing. I think it’s interesting to see how other people are trying to make money.

This site walks you through a couple (like maybe 5) steps where you enter your name and your clickbank affiliate ID and that kind of thing. They then build this site for you.

I’m still not entirely certain how the provider of this stuff makes money. From what I can tell, all the links for product in the store end up with my affiliate ID in them, so I make the money from affiliate sales, if there are any. Also, during the sign-up process, they asked me for my Google AdSense publisher ID, so I assume that the adsense ads that are displayed will end up being credited to my account. Who knows.

Now I don’t know for sure that this is their strategy. Maybe it is, maybe it’s not, but here’s what I would do with this idea:

1. Hire an eLance.com or RentACoder.com person to create a “template” website and scripts that will automatically generate the appropriate clickbank affiliate links. So that you can spam the world with something like “Hey, let me give you this FREE massive ClickBank online storefront, where you can instantly be offering thousands of products, ALL with YOUR affiliate links! Be ready to publish your store in like 5 minutes”

2. Advertise this “free cash machine” on Adwords, ezines, safe-lists, etc, trying to get as many people as possible signed up.

3. Use my own AdSense publisher ID to display adsense ads on all these other peoples free storefront.

Maybe I’ll give it a shot. If I do, I’ll post my progress here!
