We offer two different methods for earning money:
1. Link to our site - This is the preferred method if you want to get started quickly and easily. There's no investment required. After you sign up, we'll send you links and banners that you can add to your site. You'll earn a flat $20 commission on each purchase from customers that you refer to us.
2. Open Your Own Pharmacy - Opening your own pharmacy requires a little more time and effort. You can build your own website, or for a small development fee, we can build the site for you. The benefit of having your own pharmacy site is that you'll earn higher commissions and you'll have the opportunity to recruit affiliates of your own.
You can start out by linking to our site and later if you want to open your own pharmacy, we can easily upgrade your account. With both these options, you will receive your commission checks every Friday, via Fed-Ex.
Fill out the form below to get started today!
I found this on the Beachrx website. Can anybody explain this to me? This has got to be the most outrageous thing that I have seen in quite a while. This is obviously the reason that there are so many spawns of Beachrx and such. This is ridiculous and IMHO something needs to be done about it. Its bad enough that we already have the DEA watching every move that OPs make, now an OP wants to let just anybody start their own website?? I apologize for rambling, but this has just struck a nerve with me tonight.  The sad thing about all of this is that I honestly wonder how many people have not noticed this before and now that I bring it up, will go and sign up for their own OP??

Actually, this is extremely common. There are hundreds if not thousands of "affiliates" who link to OPs and IOPs. They are simply middlemen getting their cut, and it is a multimillion dollar business that grows daily.

shane, this is how it was explained to me:
A person with cash and webmaster skills signs up with an OP. BeachRx uses EVA Global (now Hope Mills Universal) as a backend, so you actually become a Hope Mills affiliate, not a beachRx affiliate.
The person gets a login and password, and the Hope Mills website gives them the links to the order pages. The person then builds a website, making drug information pages for each drug, some "about us", contact info, etc. pages. They throw it together, and when a customer clicks on one of their "buy now" links it goes to a Hope Mills page that has the order form. The customer puts in their information, then goes to the questionnaire, which is also hosted by Hope Mills. That goes into an order queue, and a doctor reads the questionnaire (he can also see everything you have ordered in the past from any EVA/Hope Mills site), and if he approves it, it gets sent to a pharmacy electronically for fulfillment (they do too huge of a business to have paper scripts). The site owner then gets a commission check (each rx sold you get paid for, depending on the volume you can do).
It sounds like it's easy, but you need to know how to make a professional looking webpage AND have the cash to promote it. Promoting it is where it gets expensive, for example, in Google the word "viagra" used to cost $14 a click. In search engines, you bid on a word and pay each time it gets clicked. That can add up pretty quickly, and just because someone clicks obviously doesn't mean they'll buy (competitors could be clicking your ad as well). So, you need quite a bit of cash to advertise. If you've got the cash, it's a good investment if you think these places will be around for some time. I was told by an OP owner on the board it takes between $2000 and $3000 to get a new affiliate site off the ground and promoted to the point where multiple orders can come in daily.
