All...

If you are new to affiliate marketing (or not so new), the easiest way to earn a monthly income from the Amazon affiliate program is to target easy-to-rank products. Forget chasing high-traffic / high-competition products and, instead, target the low hanging fruit. Such products are easier to rank (I can usually rank within 48 hours) and it typically requires no backlinking headaches.

Forget what the "gurus" are telling you and get off the beaten path. It's exactly what I do and I earn what many would consider to be a full time income from Amazon and it only takes 40-50 hours per month to do so.

Oh, and since the products are low-competition, you don't need 1500-word reviews. 300-500 words generally suffices.

Do this and you will be successful almost by accident.
 


Target a heavy competition category for their products and have separate pages for each product. Those separate pages rank easy and as you build links and market, your heavy competition main page starts moving up and earning. It helps to have awesome content.
 
Yep...It definitely works. I find that too many people just focus on trying to rank for "electric drills" and then spend days, weeks, and months backlinking for that term (which isn't even really a solid "buying" keyword) and ignore the easy-to-rank "sub-keywords" that actually convert.

Build enough credibility for all of the little stuff and the big stuff suddenly becomes easier to rank for.
 
Actually, I do. However, I think it would be in poor taste to start posting links to my stuff here on a new forum in such a direct fashion. Once I'm allowed a sig, I'll most certainly add it there.

Don't be silly, add it here.
 
How many pages do you need for the product? I bought a store sftware ( Fresh store builder) and it seems to give the impression that YOU are selling it and when the time comes for the customer to pay it goes to amazon.com with all the items from your site's cart. It's very hard to get customers but you bet it does remove the useless customers from clicking on amazon.com links.

let's say I want to promote a product that costs $20. How would you go about trying to sell it? Do you brand the name in your emd? do you just go for the general category? Am example would really be appreciated ( PM me if you are kind!) Thanks for the info
 
Each of my sites typically contains 50-100 reviews (1 for each product). The custom templates that my back-end review system uses also make use of Amazon's shopping cart that you alluded to.

I don't target anything under $150 and I don't use EMDs. I prefer brandable domain names because I feel EMDs just look spammy and amateurish.

Since you are a senior member here, I'll trust that you know more than I about the accepted practices on this particular forum.

The strategy that I follow for my own Amazon sites is discussed in my personal Amazon blueprint:

I also use a custom back-end for my Wordpress-based Amazon sites. However, the sales page is on another forum and I don't think I'm allowed to post a URL to that forum.

MODS: Feel free to remove the link if this is not accepted practice.

oh 50-100 reviews means you are targeting a big area. The products in my niche usually have like 10 products MAX so it's really small. My intent is to make many sites and average a few bucks per site for starters. I have started already but I still need to apply for google adsense
 
I prefer a handful of larger sites (TBH, 50-100 products is not really large). The model of spinning up dozens/hundreds of sites each making a few dollars just doesn't appeal to me. It's simply not cost or time effective for me.

I can spin up a site with 50 reviews inside of a month and it's so much easier (and cheaper) to maintain 10 sites than it is to maintain 50 that for me, it's a no-brainer.

Do you use a store cart like that?

All in all, I am not really fond of this thread, especially in the noob forum.

Either spill the guts and explain away here (nixing your ebook sales)

OR

Do a proper Sales thread and try selling your ebook there (but be warned, WF normally hates ebooks)

As for now, I have removed your URL.

I'd be glad if this thread could turn into the former (you explaining) but ... that is up to you.

I do. I mentioned this in the thread.

I would have thought this was the right forum.

I never mentioned a product until asked directly. I only added the URL after a request from a senior member. I suppose I've been "punked". My apologies. To be honest, the thread hasn't changed. It's been nothing but me explaining. I'll be sure to keep it on topic.

No offense but that's generally how WF greet new guy like you. You shouldn't take it seriously and shouldn't give that link either. Meaning is the opposite :)
 
no biggie you say? trust when I say, you'll be better off getting familiar with WF audience first, not after. I would DR you but I'm sure someone else will get you eventually :p Anyways, some solid point in this thread if your into amazon clicks

I got punked, I get it. My point was that I'm not upset, I'll figure it out. I'm not sure what DR means so I'm not sure how I should react.

The solid points were my intent. I suppose I'll just lay low for a while.

You'll be fine, I liked your posts, you write well. Just saying
 
Regarding the shopping cart, you just said...

.. so would this be an aStore or are you using an amazon shopping cart plugin?
