MyPicklist.com - Shop, Recommend, and Earn Cash

Shopping site MyPickList allows users to make wishlists; if a product from their list is purchased they get the commission. Users can make recommendations from sites like Apple, Nordstrom, Urban Outfitters, whatever he/she happens to like, and they can post their suggestions on blogs and networking profiles via a widget. As more users build Picklists, shopping gets easier for others. They can sort out the good from the flops by checking out what others have recommended. Each Picklist member gets a profile; kickbacks are only available if a product is purchased through a retailer in the Picklist network. A PayPal account is required to receive payments.

“MyPickList.com helps consumers make informed purchase decisions. In English terms - MyPickList.com drives word-of-mouth commerce 'which retailers love'. MyPickList.com integrates a user profile and their favorite product recommendations into a portable widget (what we call a PickList). Once a user creates a pick list it can be shared with family, friends or the public by adding the widget to any site that accepts it, including popular sites like MySpace, LiveJournal, Xanga, Friendster, Tagworld, Typepad, Blogger, and hi5.”

Product recommendation sites like MyPicklist help consumers shop smartly. There’s a lot of stuff out there, and a good deal of it is merely junk. With the help of community input, shopping needn’t be as confusing as it has been in the past. The commission is also a nice incentive for joining.

MyPicklist isn’t well thought out; the set up isn’t as easy as it could be, and features are limited. As there are more and more of these sites popping up each day, Picklist could use some work to get an edge on the competition.
