Peer to Peer for affiliate

You know those Peer to Peer file sharing programs, like Lime wire? There are people who create these little Quicktime videos that have keywords in the title and filename, but there's are twist.

When you open the video, it automatically opens up your browser and take some affiliate link. Now, I don't recommend doing this unethically, but if you had some kind of original content that you think might be popular on a P2P Program, this might be something to think about.

This is still bit new but from talking with other marketers that it does work. In order to make video that open up browser window you need Quicktime Pro at "www.apple.com/quicktime/pro"

Check it out and let me know how this work for you

This is interesting. It seems there is a huge market for peer to peer monetization that still hasn't really been tapped. Another service that is good for peer to peer monetization is ShareMonkey. It's mainly for p2p applications and websites but the basic premise is it tells you which products a download (e.g. a pirated mp3) comes from. It's at http://affiliate.leadbullet.net.
