I am not sure how plausible this idea is but...
I shop on Amazon quite often. What if, somehow my account was linked from FC to Amazon and for XXX amount of dollars I spend on Amazon, FC credits me XXX amounts of cents or dollars.
Now, I'm not just saying Amazon so much as using it as an example. There are millions of sites out there and millions of people....hundreds of which are on FC....that would be willing to shop on there especially if we got some sort of incentive here.
I love FC and will stay here for as long as possible but I also shop online for a lot of things. Having some sort of incentive here would really make it much better.
Or say, your QPB offer. I joined and got credited here and am awaiting my first shipment of books and also cannot wait to get more because the prices are soo much better than other sites. How about, for every XXX shipments I get/pay for from QPB I get XXX amount of cents or dollars from FC.
It seems to me, that the above..referring to QPB...might make more people stay past their trial offers. Maybe places like QPB and FC could work out a deal that if QPB makes XXX amount of money off of me, they could give FC XXX amount of percentage for referring me to them and FC could then forward XXX amount to me.
Again, not sure how any of this works but this was just an idea.
