The link should go the article, surely?
What is refer.ly for? From their site, it seems they are to earn referral revenue?
Just to clarify, the link goes to an original article written by me - not copy/pasted quotes from the resources listed. I have curated the links, added commentary and opinion and presented them as a blog post. The only difference is that instead of the links being text they are big beautiful images. Referly makes money when people buy products included in posts... anywhere you see the orange "buy" button we stand to make a small commission (usually around 5%).

The best way I can describe it right now is a community curated magazine with some social shopping features. Still a work in progress, but we're already helping more than 20,000 bloggers get paid for producing content on their areas of expertise.

So you're viglink or gumroad but with images?
Actually, we use Skimlinks. Think of it like Pinterest with a transparent business model.
Oh, sorry. I saw the paragraph and the "Show" and clicked through to the first one.
No worries, I think we have a UX problem where it isn't clear what is original content and what are resources we are linking off to. I'll work on that
This was a great read! Very information and well organized!
We are also thinking about setting up an internship program for the summer and this is useful. Does anyone else have any other tips not mentioned?
