I tell them that I am promoting TripleClicks, the best online, worldwide "flea market" that anyone could ever hope to find. Now, I realize the words "flea market" may not translate, but essentially, a flea market is a type of bazaar for small, independent businesses that gather in one place to sell their goods. Most of the time, the businessperson rents a table and brings his or her own goods to sell. The advantage here is that any time I promote *anyone's* product, and someone buys, I make a commission--I'm not limited to one or two specific items, or even to one or two *categories* of items. After explaining that, I generally invite those friends and family members to come check out the site with me, and I show them a few of my favorite items. That usually engages curiosity, and sales follow from there.
