What is naturalbornshopper?

Whenever I visit a new website I always look for the about page in the hope that it can tell me, in 5 seconds or less what a website is all about and whether I should bother investing more time finding out, so here are some bullet points to wet your appetite and hopefully make you read the longer explanation that follows

Cashback - Get cashback on your shopping.
Compare Prices - Compare prices on loads of products all in one place.

Saving Money

We all want to save money and get the best deals when shopping online. The more savy among us have been doing so for ages by following the advice of money saving gurus such as Martin Lewis, (of MoneySavingExpert.com, and Channel 5 TV show "It Pays to Watch" fame), who have been harking on at us about price comparison and cashback websites for years. However it still amazes me how many people I speak to who still don't understand or believe just how much money they could save by investing just a little extra time shopping around for the best deals. As a wise person once said to me; "you can give yourself a pay rise by just making the most of the money you have". Be sensible with your finances and make sure you're getting the best deals possible.

I like to consider myself a reasonably savy consumer, but as anyone who runs their own business knows, there's always something else to do (or worry about) so searching around for the best deal on my home insurance wasn't high on my priority list. But rather than ignoring my insurance renewal letter this year (as I have for the past couple of years), I thought I'd spend 10 minutes checking I'd got a reasonably good deal. (I know it was good when I took it out, so I'd just assumed this was still the case... How wrong I was!). It was 10 minutes very well spent, as even after my first quote I'd managed to knock £100 off my premium, halving what I had paid the previous year. Earning me an eqivalent income of £600 an hour! Proving yet again it's not how much money you can get that's nearly as important as how well you spend it.

So why am I telling you all this? Well it all goes hand in hand with trying to explain what our site is all about, and I'm trying to tell you in a way which doesn't sound like a sales pitch (although as I read this back I'm not sure I'm succeeding). But I'll press on regardless and hope I still have you attention.

Cashback Shopping on naturalbornshopper.co.uk

For those not familiar with the concept, cashback shopping has been around in this country for years. There are loads of websites setup which, thanks to the deals they have with many big Internet retailers, are able to give you money back on shopping you would normally otherwise do online, if you shop via their sites.

Well you can now earn cashback on naturalbornshopper.co.uk, and what makes us particularly special is that unlike most cashback websites, which are really just basic listings of shops you an visit, we actually let you search for products right here on our site, so not only can you search over 500 shops all in a single click, but you can also compare prices between retailers, see if they have any vouchers or promotions and include factors such as cashback available and delivery costs all at the same time. This makes the process of finding the best deals and comparing all the factors involved in making the decision so much quicker and easier it really takes some of the pain out of shopping around.

Earning Money with naturalbornshopper.co.uk

The first question you might be asking is, "how can I earn money, and what's the catch?". I won't beat around the bush, so take a deep breath and read on...

We earn money by marketing products from other people's shops on our website. You can earn a share by picking out the best items and putting them in lists for other shoppers to use. You can also earn money when people you refer to our site buy stuff online. It doesn't cost them, or you, any more than they would pay otherwise, it all comes out of the marketing budgets of the companies as a thank you for helping them find a new customer.

The catch? Well there isn't one really, other than you have to spend a few minutes understanding how our site works, creating lists of items you think are cool, and then promoting those items. The good news is, the more people that do this, the more popular our site will become, and the more people will use us (and you) for their shopping, so you'll more than likely just make sales from people who you've never even met (and never will!) They'll just see your list, like your style, buy items from your list, and earn you a commission.

So why don't we create lists ourselves? Well we have! We've built a website with currently 3.5 million items from over 500 shops, we now need your help to get more people shopping with us, helping us all get a little bit richer in the process.

I'm not suggesting for a moment that you can head into work on Monday, swear at your boss and walk out with all the stationery you can carry. I'm also not suggesting that naturalbornshopper will solve all your financial troubles, or that by this time next year we'll all be millionnaires, but for a little upfront effort you can set the wheels in motion to slowly earn yourself a little extra money, for doing nothing!

It's like setting up a market stall, filling with other peoples products, heading down the pub for a drink, then going back at the end of the day and seeing how much money you've made. You don't have to deal with processing orders, deliveries or even customers. You just have to find cool stuff, and tell people about them. As any Daniel Craig fan will tell you, "the art of good business is being a good middleman".

It's what people who run online shopping websites have been doing for years. One time bedroom recluses, many now run big companies boasting large revenues, fast cars and flash pads. There's a lot of money to be made online, and the cool thing about naturalbornshopper.co.uk is that now you don't have to be a web genius to make some. We've built the marketplace, you just have to setup your stall and bring the punters in!

How does it work

Well as I've already explained, you can use naturalbornshopper.co.uk to get cashback on purchases you make online. What I haven't explained yet in nearly enough details is all the other ways you can earn money when other people shop online. So here's a quick rundown:

Becoming a partner of naturalbornshopper.co.uk

If you run a website or blog, or perhaps you're a school or charity organisation, you might be eligble to become a partner of naturalbornshopper.co.uk. Then not only do you benefit when you refer new members to us, as explained above, but you also get another bonus every time someone buys something off your referred users pick lists! Confused? We were until we sat down and worked this all out... Basically all you have to do is send us members and you get a lifetime revenue split of everything they do on the site.

How is this site funded?

We get money every time someone buys something via our website at any one of our partners. That's why we built naturalbornshopper.co.uk. This is all made possible thanks to a little unknown industry called Affiliate Marketing. Affiliate marketing was originally started by the pioneers of online shopping Amazon, as a means of getting more people to buy stuff from their website. They would give (and still do) a small commission to anyone who referred someone to their website, who then went on to make a purchase, and thus the multi million pound industry of affiliate marketing was born. In it's purest essence, affiliate marketing is quite simply the process of giving a commission for every sale generated.

We've spent the past 12 months building a solid, secure, fast, scalable, attractive website with so many features it blows our competitors out of the water. As you can probably tell we're really proud of the job we've done, but we also know that a website is useless unless people use it, so following in Amazons footsteps, we're hoping if we give a bit of incentive to all the wonderful folks of the Internet world in the hope you'll help us grow and become an even more interesting and useful place for people to shop online.
