Monetize your Blog with booBox

booBoox is a brazilian project that will help bloggers monetize their blogs and earn money selling all kind of stuff. Right now there is a demo available to understand this great project.

This new concept is very interesting because it´s a different and unique way to sell products in your blog or website. This is how it works:

Bloggers add images to their posts and a small red icon is added to them. If a reader clicks the icon on the image a lightbox opens showing some pictures of products related to what you are writing about. The important thing is that readers don’t leave the blog when they click the icon, because the blog will remain open behind the lightbox where the transaction is going to take place.

Readers are asked: “Do you want to buy any of these items?” and they can choose the product they want to buy just by clicking on it. After that, still in the lightbox, a new page opens like Amazon.com or other online store where they can buy the product.

But how does the publisher earns money with booBox?

If the reader buys the product at amazon.com or at the other online stores the publisher earns a commission via the affiliate program.

This is another good option for those bloggers and publishers who want to earn money selling products related to the content on their blog. One problem I see with this affiliate program is that it is going to be a little difficult to make readers click the icons on the images because many of them are not going to know that they need to click the red icon to buy a product. Let´s see what happens, well that´s all for now, give it a try.
