The ethical affiliate..I wish you well, (or not)...But that's on you...

Since the HF20 times (it seem ages ago now, doesn't it?), and starting the websites doing the affiliate stuff, I came across some ethical issues.
My main one was using any links to amazon- specifically (and some others big names too).

The commissions count using these big corporations - they can add up - but seeing as I will not support the deep state funded enterprises if I can help it, I cannot, in good conscience, be part of their system.
Pesky ethical standards.
(oh I'm totally hypocritical as well - I use Tesco's a lot).

I'm not casting any aspersions on anyone that does use them, or the shoppers that shop there, not in the slightest - it's just not for me, is all.
(as you will see, my idea will actually include links to amazon. Confused? All will become clear).
As a result of this, my websites (7 now!) are dealing direct with individual companies and there affiliate programs (which turns out not to be the best strategy), and some other smaller companies through some affiliate link companies.

I haven't made any more sites after my burst of enthusiasm, and I'm still seeing these crawl along slowly... (not yet 10 dollars commission), but - I am told - that this is to be expected for the first few months....mmmm...
We will see.
And I'm getting very bored of doing them...about as pleasurable as toothache - but needs must an' all that..

And then I came up with an idea! (I do have them occasionally).

Whether it's a good one or not, time will tell . So feel free to comment.
In fact , it's mandatory.

My pitch is this....

....er wrong pitch.
I never liked 'rounders'....lol.

My pitch is THIS!

For Steemit, Minds...and any crypto really (that my wallet has)...- paying a commission that is 100% voluntary....!!

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaat?

Yep...you heard me...

Imagine....that I did a post that didn't sell you anything as such - More of a product awareness - but turned you onto an idea, a product- and for whatever reason, you then decided to purchase the product, one which was intrinsically linked to the item I was writing about?...

Then imagine if i gave you all the necessary links that you would need to purchase any items related to the product,
but without an affiliate link that I would profit from as such, but instead, a simple request instead.....

Many small independent companies do not even have any affiliate programs - they are small companies, and I would prefer to give business to these people, rather than any big corporations.

...End of factoid...
So rather than relying on these companies to do anything like set up affiliate links

Would you donate some cryptos as way to give me some commissions for providing the information and the service?

(I won't be shy about how much I think an appropriate donation is, I'm so not shy like that. It will depend on the products. From cents - to dollars).

'But it will be open for abuse' I hear you cry.

Damn! I've only just thought of that! (sarcasm).

I know there will be some low life cheap skates who would act on my product sell, buy some products, and not give me a damn thing.
And all I can say is 'that's unfortunate'...for them.
Karma and guilt levers, all the way!

KARMA...
Whether it's from a spiritual perspective, or a mathematical logic of what luck actually is - or even a Newtonian 3rd law of physics angle _'For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.'...etc.

If you screw me over, and if you don't honor your side of the contract, then that's on you. 100%.

It can be donated to without another thought, as good people will do - or it can be a stark look in the mirror as to who you really are. It can be seen as an opportunity that beckons - for the weak minded to start becoming strong adults.
Good opportunities- however they present themselves - are always worth taking. No matter how small the action.
Clean your head...

The contract being - that if you purchase product from my 'sell' and don't say thanks for my efforts.
...then who's to say that it won't come back to bite you, and you get screwed to?
Like I said, preferably when you're using the very product that you bought.( you feckless twats.)

About Karma: If anyone knows the secrets to life, the universe, and everything - then you are free to prove me wrong, but unless you can provide proof then please don't bother arguing the philosophical semantics of the claim. This post is not about that!).

I see it's as win, win ...

1/ The good people of the world will be advantaged by purchasing what I truly believe to be of value.

Only good people give as a token of appreciation - the wankers take....

(note: It would be tiny amounts, very similar to the commission rates as if it were an affiliate program. People just give what they think - with an odd suggestion or two from me!).

2/ If 'karmic law' has any credence, (which it totally does), it will also mean a speeding up in the decline of a pointless gene pool. ( Takers are a blight on the world, I think we can mostly agree on).

The wankers who screw me over, will meet their comeuppance one way or another. By voluntarily cheating on the agreement, they broke the contract.
Bad karma is on their ass!

Lawyers mostly being lower than whale shit at ebb tide - morally speaking- have no jurisdiction in my 'ethical affiliate' program. (but are more than welcome to use my services and donate -and at least try to mitigate some serious bad karma that's inevitably headed your way.
I would like to point out at this time and with total conviction - that I'd wish any karmic retribution to be very terrible and a very painful.
Quite Unequivocally.
(Note: Ideally , I'd also prefer it if the almighty anguish came through the direct use of a product that I'd introduced them to.... That would be nice, but I know - you can't have everything.)
Just sayin'....

Don't fuck with karma!!

3/ I could stop doing the boring affiliate website, shite.

4/ By linking to my steemit piece (the base of operations), it might also serve ( a really boring business idea), to attract people to taking at look at steemit some more, once here, and see what is has to offer.

Yeah, I know- such a booooring idea to attract users here, and not an 'smt' in sight..

For example...... ( something already struck me an hour or two ago, that I'd really like to try it on...and hence this post - and I can find no affiliate that I would like to link to, except possibly Dicks - only joking! - but you see what I mean about preferable people to do business with?).

If you bought something in total worth between, say $50 - $150- it seems that between $3 - £15 , is kind of acceptable for a donation for the work. (I think)....
Donate what you think it's worth, higher or lower. It's on you and your own value system.

I could present it onto steemit (and Minds) for starters, blast links on twitter, gab, various chat rooms, forums blah blah blah...

By linking to my steemit piece (the base of operations), it might also serve ( a really boring business idea), to attract people to taking at look at steemit some more, once here, and see what is has to offer. Yeah, I know- such a booooring idea to attract users here, and not an 'smt' in sight..

This type of work will be lot harder than just some duff 'copy, paste and reformat' jobs, for 'the affiliate websites' - but I would get an immeasurable more amount of pleasure from doing it...

What do you recon about this approach?
So while it's not actually 'affiliate', in the strict sense of the word, it also is, kinda...Hence ethical.

And as kharma is most certainly a thing, I'll also be indirectly contributing to the end of the cheating, lying, wanker gene pool, that so that badly needs culling...

Light bulb moment:

A new banner across my posts...lol

You are now entering the world of Karmic Eugenic's... please tip well!

lmao

Here's my first piece/product that I'd love to write about .

A Self defense weapon for those without guns, and for those that don't want to use a gun - but can be used as a lethal self defense weapon.

All from my own experiences!

(Not for 'self defense')..

... but as for the lethal-ness ? ...100% for sure.

And is pretty (very) cheap. Great in an urban residence, environment.

And a great Christmas present for loved ones . Ones who would never even think of buying such a thing!

( FULL DISCLOSURE : the 'Christmas present idea' wasn't mine - that's was thanks to @doctorjohn- who came up with giving silver as a present.
Most people wouldn't even begin to appreciate what a fantastic gift that might be when the shit hits the financial fan - but such a good gift to those you love, those who do not know any better.

The same with my product.
My idea does not bring financial security, but it most definitely does give protection to someone who is threatened by some wankers intruding into their own homes...and doesn't have or want a gun.
