Mintd

Josh Spear points to a very interesting site that lets all you craft people out there take your selling to a new level. Like Etsy, Mintd lets you create a virtual store to sell your stuff but Mintd allows you to set up some sort of community pyramid selling scheme also. Buyers in the Mintd community can post a photo of your garb or pottery to their Lookbook with a link through to your online store. For every click, the Mintd system gives your fans a slice of the commission. The site says:

Mintd Style is a chance for users to share their looks with others and make money doing it. A Lookbook is a photo or collection of photos that show a product or products you’ve bought from Mintd.

Lookbooks are designed to show other users how you’ve put your own touches on an item: how you’ve made it yours. It allows sellers to see how their products are used by the market, and potential buyers to see the product in different situation before they buy.

If a user likes your Lookbook, and clicks a product featured in it, and ends up buying it, your account will be credited with 2.5% of the listed price (divided equally between Mintd and the seller).
