This is for folks who don't have the technical knowledge to deal with feeds and APIs and who is not satisfied with the available options of the likes of popShops, GoldenCan etc. It's not for everybody, actually it's not for most affiliates out there, but I got contacted by a few who would probably fit this profile. I am also sure that Mark will not "lock in" the subscribers and provide the option to take the current code and stuff and leave. The subscription is more for the support and the customization. He did that for free in the past and it takes a lot of time. He could help as much people as he wanted to and asking for a little bit money in return would allow him to spend the time and make a living. Is that about right Mark? p.s. Not only popShops lets you generate non JS code, DatafeedFile and Feedshare also offer alternatives. That's why did I say in my post "most cases" and "usually". I guess that did not come across 100%, but should be clarified now. Thanks. Jonathan, I think it is worth a try.

I'm not against the idea. Taking stuff from YouTube, Amazon and Ebay sounds just like Squidoo, which is free and I have a few lenses myself. I'm just not so sure the subscription route is the way to go, not sure if you considered other ways? "@trust – If you don’t like the idea that’s ok, not everything is for everyone."

There are some problems with this model. A little to control freakish. "if one member creates a mashup page on "Canon Powershot" then no other member can do the same." hmm "there will probably be little customization to the tool unless maybe the community decides it is best and then it would be made, not sure yet." Community? This is affiliate marketing, we're all a bunch of individual businesses. And if you stop paying the subscription, there go your sites. Not very smart. If he decides not to do this anymore, there go your sites, the time you put into them. So we're just going to mash some stuff up, make some money? What year is this.
