    Seems legit insofar as they will genuinely pay you commissions, but how are you going to get people to use your site? Family and friends?

    They say up to 20% commission but looking through their list of retailers the ones I have clicked on seem to pay between 2-4%, with one even saying 0%! If you assume 3% average, you're going to need to achieve sales of over £1,330 every month just to break even.

    @bazzyb it would be done on the internet as if it was your own shop, internet marketing, the better advertising your website gets the more visitors you get = more sales

    @Moon968 have you had any experience with incomeshops ? i really think this is a good way to may some extra cash every month to you know anyone that has used or is using this franchise ?

    Exactly my point - if you spend a modest amount of, say, £200 a month on internet marketing then you now need to achieve £7,980 of sales each month just to break even, otherwise you're running at a loss. You would need a heck of a lot of sales just to make a profit. I fail to see how anybody could ever make any money out of this.
