Ready to start IM Found niche, 50$ a week investment. Journey

Quick backstory, I have been reading about various ways to make money online for years now, never really putting any time or effort into it. I feel like i know very little about it even though ive been reading about it off and on for a few years.

Only success ive every had was through PPD with sharecash years ago where i was making 300-500$ a month but that came to a halt quick when the method was saturated, only thing ive really tryed besides that was a teespring campaign where i lost out on 150$


Alright so ive found a niche that im very knowable about, its actually my career and i have been thinking about amazon affiliates as a means to monetize my niche. Right now im able to put in about 2-3 hours of work a day into this and about a 50$ a week investment. Investment will grow if i can successfully make money.

Im looking for help from you guys to give me professional advice and help. I have so many questions. Seems like a big task but im willing to try and put the work in.

Where should i start before i get my amazon affilates up and running? Should i build a facebook page or instgram or a website?? (No experience with websites, horrible at it, cant even build a piczo)


EDIT: Some additional information, the most popular page in my niche has about 250,000 followers on facebook with about 50,000 talking about this. Their instagram has about 120,000 followers.

Theirs only about 10 half popular pages on these niches and none of them seem like thier trying the amazon approach, im nervous as to if it will work or not

    you can try wix.com to build a website easily

    but where to start... it all depends on the niche

    what are your competitors doing?
    Do that!

      Currently working on a name for my website, facebook and instagram pages. The competitors have quite catchy names so mine cant be boring.

      All the competitors are the same basically just one has more followers then the other, very hard to be unique with this niche, as i imagine its hard to be unique with any niche in these saturated markets

    Forget your facebook and instagram pages for now and focus on building up your content on the site.

      Opps wish i seen this before i just created an ad campaign for my facebook page, 20$ limit to get a few starter likes and go from thier. my next step was insagram but i will start my web page instead i guess.

      I started my facebook page first as i thought it would be the easiest to gain a quick following to promote my website to after

      Here are a few tips.. Build a website first, it will be a web property that you own. Facebook and Instagram can terminate you account at any time. Amazon will approve your website when it is up and running and meets their terms of service.

      You will need hosting and a domain, stay away from the done for you sites. I recommend using namecheap for the domain. Stay away from the EIG companies for hosting. Use wordpress.org for the site platform. There are plenty of free videos on how to build a website and take it live. Than slowly add content to your site.

      Stay away from WSO's and just search on Amazon threads here in the forum. You can burn thru a lot of cash so don't be eager to spend it.

    Hey, I'm a beginner too and I have a couple of websites!
    Buy a domain + Bluehost for hosting + free Wordpress for building = you're set.
    You can use Facebook and Instagram to promote your website besides promoting affiliate links

    So while I can't give specific advice, I can tell you that building a website is easy nowadays - even I managed it!

    Why don't you start with branding domain and create attractive theme for your site and create some good articles for your site and starts advertising like Adsense.

    I know you probably think I am being a smart a$$, but I can assure you I am sincerely not !

    That being said, we all make typos and occasional grammar errors( myself included, believe me lol) but you seem to be excessive with this in your writing.

    I would be more diligent in what you say and how you say it; even in a Forum like this.
    It is a prerequisite in what you are trying to do and will take you far.

    Remember, practice makes perfect and the ability to communicate effectively is so paramount in today's business environment
