I think that you are confusing your business models here?
OK, so I changed the example to try to prove a point

The fact is that ClickBank have been using a business model similar to my original proposition for about nine years, and have some 100,000 affiliates working with them. Maybe I'm missing something in the logistics at the moment, but the basic theory obviously works for them.


Also remember that the big boys in Web transaction management are well known and established
This is definitely a valid point as far as competition is concerned, but there's usually a niche or alternative way of offering the same concept to make it attractive.
