ILetYou

09Apr07

Create your very own online rental DVD store with ILetYou. In a matter of minutes you can be the next Netflix.

ILetYou is essentially the online storefront for a whole bunch of video stores. When someone places an order, the video store handles the shipping and logistics. ILetYou takes a cut of the transaction fee. When you set up your DVD rental store on ILetYou, you get a share of that transaction fee too.

Is it new? Definitely not. The idea of affiliate marketing is very web 1.0. So far Amazon Affiliate programs are the most widely publicised. There are also a ton of affiliate programmes available at Commission Junction (again a web 1.0 thing).

However, ILetYou does signal the possible return of affiliate programmes. In 1.0, it was pretty hard to drive traffic to your website. Today with blogs, technorati, myspace and tons of social networking sites, it’s easier for personal web pages to drum up traffic.

Personally I have never made any money from affiliate programmes. And trust me, it’s not for want of trying!

ILetYou is still in beta.

    RentYourStuff.net has an easier, simpler user interface. It has a craigslist to-the-point design.. and it has been around long before ILetYou was announced.

    RentYourStuff.net is free and it doesn’t require a Sign-Up – just use your email address to post an ad.

    Check it out!

    Thanks for the heads up and introducing me to RentYourStuff.net. RentYourStuff.net has a much wider appeal. I think the concept of ILetYou is really for “minipreneurs” to start their own DVD stores :)
