I just met with Rahul Pandhe, Founder and CEO of OblinQ.com last week. It amazes me how many ways folks can make money online. Rahul's company, OblinQ provides yet another way. OblinQ allows you to set up your own virtual store (or meta-store) and add bookmarked links to products you recommend and enjoy. If you're constantly being asked by friends and family what electronics to buy, why not setup your own electronics store with the latest digital camera you recommend, the DVD player you think is best on the market and send them a link to your website. Visitors to your site can peruse your picks and click-through to purchase from Amazon or Best Buys and you get the affiliate marketing payment. OblinQ does not take any percentage of customer earnings. 

Built on the same Microsoft code stack that OblinQ is built on, Rahul also has another company called GiftWisdom. This site targets the universal wishlist or gift registry market with the ability to pool payments through an integration with PayPal. He reports that this site has received a lot of traction on its own through no marketing effort on his part. GiftWisdom provides a convenience for event-driven gifting such as weddings, baby showers, and birthdays.

Even if you don't have your own e-commerce capabilities, you can create a website through OblinQ and get in on the new monetization strategies available in today's web economy through services such as OblinQ.
