Affiliate Idea to Capitalize on the Gas Crisis
Thanks for visiting the Affiliate Tip blog. Subscribe to my RSS feed or enter your e-mail on the top left to get updates by e-mail.
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.

Great idea. It's something I blogged about a year ago March — http://blog.shopping-bargains.com/2007/03/09/ti... (and I wrote that post up on $3/gal. gas) but haven't driven the point home. Even if one has to pay for shipping, it's usually still a bargain to shop online over driving to the mall.
reply to this commentHey Shawn,
That's a nice idea… Gas prices are just ridiculous these days (although it's cheapest here in NJ), but like you said it can be leveraged to start a nice affiliate marketing campaign.
You're giving away a great idea but I think it's general enough for a lot of people to adopt it. Thanks!

It's better to be first in the mind than to be first in the marketplace.
I don't think that domain conveys anything and the homepage is busy. The game is wide open.
