You mentioned $$$ in another comment. May I ask how you will monetize this? (obviously you don't have to answer... just curious)

- quaffapint 13y agoWell any product links could be his affiliate link to amazon - it won't be millions but if the site gets popular it can add up.
- peterbe 13y agoThe intention with the site is not be get rich but it would be fun to have a profit at all. Having said that, any product link is very very different from a product link that a close friend has picked out. Chances are you desire the same. For example, I trust Kristin's research into binoculars https://wishlistgranted.com/9eca0593/ https://wishlistgranted.com/9eca0593/
- BHSPitMonkey 13y agoWell, if the service becomes popular, the OP will find himself sitting on a nice rolling account of cash (the funds that haven't yet been spent or returned to donors), which might be capable of generating interest. I can't imagine that income being appreciable (or entirely legally kosher), but who knows?
- peterbe 13y agoIt's easy to make money on anything that is popular. The "profit" made on top of adding a small fee. on top of Balanced's fee, is so minuscule and quickly eaten by shipping costs. Right now, I'm more interested in building something that makes a profit just for the hell of it. All my other side-projects are making me absolutely nothing. ...nothing but resume padding :)
- peterbe 13y agoAffiliates referral. There's a small revenue also on top of the charges and fees that Balanced cost but that part is primarily to cover the cost of shipping.
