    Hey guys, I was looking through some affilite sites when this idea hit me. Being an affiliate means that you earn a commission for every potential seller you convert. I was wondering why not make one site that has links to other sites that are quite successful at converting people into sellers. For example, on clickbank, you can go and see which sites are the most popular as far as earning money by becoming an affiliate goes. Why not take those sites and advertise all of them on your own site? You could say something like "These sites have proven systems that will have you to make money in no time!" You could have 5 or 6 links to various sites that sell systems or information that help you become successful on ebay or adwords, adsense, etc. Im sure people will take the time to browse through each link and it will probably increase your chance of making a sale because your advertising 4 or 5 sites at once. Its just a thought, I'm pretty sure I'm missing something as far as logic is concerned. :D

    Haha, sorry. I kinda lost myself writing that.

    Ok, lets say you have a website and you want to make money via affiliating.

    You make a website of your own and add links of those sites that offer a high payout for every seller. Say, 70%. You can check out clickbank for websites that offer a high payout and seem professional enough to actually convert customers.

    You can make the links stand out by saying something like: "These are links
    to sites that are proven and guarantee to make you money." Or something like that. Add a professioanl touch to it so that people actually buy into it and you might end up converting a number of people everyday.

    So, what's new about this? You would just be promoting an affiliate program from Clickbank

    Yeah but you would be doing a number of them at once. I haven't seen any site that does that so far.

    I think it would only work if you were adding some value: For example, if you are Shawn Collins, you can push lots of different affiliate programs and give the added tips with real credibility that will both attract traffic to your site, and result in sign-ups to these programs.

    What you are suggesting is possible, but how would you get traffic to your site and how would you get it to convert? If you don't have some kind of angle like Shawn does, it could be really hard.

    What you can do in the beginning is use adwords and when you have built enough traffic and have converted many sellers, you can ask owners of the sites that you have a link to to also put a link on their website for you. I guess you could tell them that you are converting many customers for them and it would only be fair.
