Episode 2301
Welcome to Throwback Thursday / “Where are they now?” where we take an in-depth look at someone who’s story has evolved considerably since we first featured them. Last week, we heard from an eBay consignment seller who decided to focus on selling items for other people for a commission. Today, in our latest feature, we’ll hear from a camera gear affiliate who earns thousands of dollars a month from commissions. This is a different commission-based model: as an affiliate, he gets paid whenever he refers sales of purchases. Camera gear is a good category for this business because it’s expensive and people who are into it are always buying stuff! Let’s hear more about the business from Jake.
