Chances are that people constantly ask you what phone to buy, what laptop, even what TV. Well now there’s a way to make money from your recommendations.

It’s the brainchild of Brian Trevaskiss and team at the MoreFrom Group, and the idea is that you rebadge morefrom.co.uk as your own site. If people order from you, you’ll get 1% commission (or more if you manually increase the price), which appears as credit in your MoreFrom account. So you don’t get cash, but you can put that money towards future purchases.

The other clever thing is that you can order from it yourself. So let’s say you’re about to buy a £1,000 laptop. By ordering it from your version of the site, you get £10 credit applied to your account. This could be of particular appeal to small businesses that rack up purchases over the course of a year.

And if your business would benefit from an online shop, MoreFrom is offering a way to rebadge its site to do precisely that. Head to www.morefrom.biz.

So how easy is it to set up your own site? Shockingly so. Allow me to demonstrate:

Step 0: Head to www.morefrom.me

You can watch the video if you want, but I suspect most people will simply hit the big “FREE Get Started” button.

Step 1: Add your name and picture

Get in quick if you want a particular username…

Step 2: Choose your colour scheme

Some are more dubious than others, but by hitting the “Customise your theme” button you can choose the exact colours you want.

Step 3: Enter your name and email address

I had a quick scan of the terms and conditions and couldn’t find anything dubious, but as ever it’s worth going through this more closely if you intend to make serious use of this service. One thing to note is that you don’t see the credit until 30 days after the purchase, to avoid unscrupulous people buying products, spending their credit and returning the goods in the meantime.

Step 4: Set a password

And after four short steps, you’re pretty much done…

Step 5: Start adding recommendations

Now head off to your website and start recommending. It’s simple to do: browse to your chosen product and click the “Add to My Recommended” button that appears halfway down the page. Up to four of your recommendations will be surfaced at the top of your page by default.

If you’re feeling greedy, you can also tweak the prices. Click on My Account, and then the Manage button underneath “morefrom.me/yourname”. Click Prices and you’ll be able to increase them by anything from 1% to 25%. The mark up is split 50/50 between you and MoreFrom.

And that’s it. Have a look and let me know what you think.
