Run With My Idea?
 
Because I don't have a lot of time these days, I decided to share some of the ideas from my idea book that I won't be developing.

If you have the time / money / inclination - feel free to run with them. Here is the first one of them...

Make Money from Amazon Lists
i. Amazon has a Listmania program where you can create a Top List of Books on a particular topic.
ii. Amazon has an affiliate program that pays you per sale.
iii. But Amazon doesn't pay you anything if you share your Listmania page and people buy from there.

So the idea is simple: merge Listmania + Amazon affiliates.

Allow people to make Book Lists on your website. And then link the book names to Amazon Affiliate Links.

Have a profit sharing ratio where 20% of the time, your own affiliate links are shown and 80% of the time the person who created the list - his affiliate links are shown.
