Make Money with uSuggest

uSggest is a brand spanking new affiliate program. The idea is that you make money from uSuggest when shoppers by products based on your suggestion.

How Does It Work?
There seem to be 2 main ways you can make a suggestion.

  1. You can suggest a product directly on the uSuggest website. Any shoppers then buying the product based on your suggestion will generate a commission which goes to your account.
  2. You can also include a referrer link on your blog to a product on uSuggest. If one of your readers clicks the link then buys the product, you will earn a commission. This is the option I would suggest if you are looking for ways to make money from your blog.

For example, if you bought a Norelco T980 Accuvac Beard & Mustache Trimmer by clicking on my referrer link (or by clicking on the image on the left) then I would get a commission on the sale.

How Does uSuggest Pay?
Usuggest say they will pay when your account has reached $15. They pay via Paypal or check. Payment will be made within 30 days of the end of the month in which your account reaches $15.

I have signed up for an account at uSuggest and made a couple of suggestions. I have also tried out the referrer link in this post. However, uSuggest is still in alpha so take care. I don’t know whether anyone has been paid yet. Also, the uSuggest website is not terribly intuitive or easy to navigate. And I received a number of error pages in my time on the site. On top of all that, I couldn’t find any interesting products to suggest (hence the mustache trimmer… no I don’t have a mustache). But it’s still early days, with uSuggest only having gone live within the last month.

One last thing. Unfortunately, I just noticed that you have to be a resident of the United States to be a uSuggest suggester or referrer.

Having said all that, if you are looking for new ways to make money from your blog, then uSuggest might be worth a look.

    Dear Monetize Your Blog,

    You have done a superb job covering USuggest.com and we value your comments and feedback greatly. Our affiliate team is working with new vendors and adding millions of new products every day. Current inventory level stands at over 10 million products and soon we will incorporate a guide so products and your suggestions are more easily findable in USuggest.com.

    We are looking to parter and work with expert bloggers. As the world becomes increasingly segmented and varied - with products and services designed and marketed to extremely small subsets of the population direct expert-to-inquirer contact is becoming necessary. And society places a value on this new, more democratic, type of experts and their expertise.

    USuggest.com is a new web platform that enables bloggers to conveniently monetize their expertise by publishing their hand picked recommendations directly from within their blogs thru USuggest’s “money making links”. As such, the respective blogger would then receive a commission from any sales generated through their referrals and traffic at USuggest.com.

    A useful analogy is as follows: bloggers are the brains, blogs are the limbs and USuggest.com is the heart that pumps and circulates the much needed blood and oxygen to the brain and the limbs — the lifeline of traffic, sales and commissions (the ingredients) that is needed for our survival.

    All the Best
