booBox – Yet Another Unobtrusive Approach to Monetize Your Blog

In the past, we’ve seen how Vizu Anwsers provided a clutter free solution to monetize our blogs. Now, booBox offers even better way to earn instant revenue by connecting us to affiliate program with big players such as Amazon or Ebay.

How does it work?

Tag your images while writing the post, booBox will send those tags to e-commerce website that send a list of possible items related to your image. The images then get a booBox icon at the lower left corner, showing your readers where to click. When a reader clicks on it, an AJAX popup will appear showing related products. You’ll earn the commission when the reader buys that product. For each country, the booBox Team will choose ONE e-commerce store that’s able to offer the highest number of products and with the best delivery system

booBox project is still in its beta, sign-up to get notified when the service goes live. They’ve put a demo of their upcoming service, check it out.

    The problem is that one needs to “buy” stuff from the link they are clicking…
    If you have very high no of visitors that may work.

    USuggest.com allow the bloggers to make some extra money through recommended products directly from within their blogs, and hopefully directing their readers to the some online retailers. As such, the respective blogger would receive a commission from any sales generated through referrals!

    Digitalnomad: At the time of writing this post, Boobox wasn’t released, so I didn’t bother writing about the installation.

    It’s really simple to install. They’ll give you a Javascript code and you need to add it to your template.
