Free money for missionaries: An idea

Did you know that there are Australian companies that will pay you for referring people to buy their products/services over the Internet? It's known as "online affiliate marketing". Quite simply, you receive a commission for referring a friend.
Here's an example of how it works:
A company's online banner ad is placed on your friend's blog. After clicking on it and making a purchase, your friend would receive a percentage of the sale.
So wouldn't it be a great idea if Christians could somehow leverage this and have the commission money going towards, say, supporting mission work. This is especially great if the products/services are those people are going to be buying anyway.
Of course this is not an original idea, as I've seen this done in the US (check out the BeneShop). However, I've yet to see this in Australia.
So I propose there be a website/email newsletter service where Aussie Christian shoppers can hear about affiliate deals and where 100% of the commission obtained would go towards Gospel work.
Now who's going to build this?

Great idea! I came across your blog when typing in Chinese Churches Sydney. Thanks for your map!
I would very much like to communicate with you re some ideas for contacting the Chinese Christian community about the Canberra Declaration and our campaign to double our signatures from 50,000 to 100,000 in a year to present to Parliament.
