We’re narrowing our focus on WonderFinds to “New things to love” like sparkly jewelry, gifts, and highly sought after collectibles. Here’s a great example of a collectible: Monster High Dolls.

ForumCon 2 was a great Chicago conference put on by VigLink that attracted 165 forum owners, affiliates and forum services. I was asked to be on a panel to discuss the Affiliate Tax (aka Amazon Tax) with Brian Littleton, founder ShareaSale, and Steve Thayer, attorney.
My story is pretty simple: I’m an affiliate publisher that drives traffic to eBay and Amazon. I built a site which generated $1,300 a month in revenue from Amazon within 5 months of startup. 30 minutes after Illinois passed the Affiliate Tax, I got a termination letter from Amazon Associate program.
Now my only option to regain Amazon revenue is to reincorporate in another state and take an office in Indiana.

We’re working on a new shopping site called Treazured.
Our goal is to assist serious shoppers who research before they buy in the beginning of the shopping process mainly, discovery and watching.
Our other sites, Watched Item and PopWatchers, focus on discovering the most watched / most popular items. This is a great way to find things, but it’s hard to keep track of the hard to find items and to share a list with a friend.
So we’re adding the feature to save any item on a Treazured list.
Another new feature is helping shoppers and sellers understand a niche. I get an eBay market research question each week asking how to explore a niche in terms of identifying the most valuable items in a niche, the size of the market, and who the top sellers are. I’m happy to help users, but clearly this needs to be automated.
Wish us luck!
