Affiliate Idea to Capitalize on the Gas Crisis

I just got back from running some errands and got an idea while filling up at the gas pump.

As the dollars ticked up at a rate of more than $4 per gallon, I thought his gas crisis could make for a good affiliate site.

After all, if people have to spend a gallon or three to get to the local mall, the cost to go shopping becomes prohibitive to lots of folks.

So I thought I’d put together a mall or coupon site that touched on the cost of gas as another reason to shop online.

Plus, the site could espouse the virtues of shopping online as a more green way to shop.

I was about to jump into WordTracker to research popular searches regarding gas, fuel, etc. to get ideas for a domain, and then I realized that I just don’t have time for a new project.

So here it is - a site I think could do well with the right positioning and PR efforts.

It’s all yours to leverage the unfavorable gas prices.
