Time to float like a Butterfly......
I need a change of direction, at the moment I'm dropshiping in the UK, I've two sites up one selling Shooting and Country clothing it's at 1 in the SERP for my two top keywords and it's dead. Not only is my site dead the whole market for that type of gear has died there isn't even a PPC advert to be found!! Word in the trade is - NO TRADE!
The second is selling some rather nice silver/amber jewellery and that's getting nothing, I've tested the product on Ebay and sold none, I'll be testing on Amazon as soon as they let me but it's not looking good. Additionally the supplier is erratic; delivery times are all over the place.
There was going to be another site were I would hold stock but the key supplier of a new range seems to have run into difficulties and their "MASIVE LAUNCH" seems to have dropped into an even more massive black hole.
So I need a change of direction, I liked the look of Adsense but from what I've read on various forums it's doing really badly, with lower incomes and bans on small sites a real risk. 6 months ago in the UK adds for Camo Jackets were £2 to £4 a click now nobody is buying the advertising space.
Although the WSO hype (1) is fun I don't expect something for nothing, I do expect to work and to commit some cash. So my time and SEO skills, say $2-3000 and the free services of a professional web developer/programmer. I'd have to fit in with the developer he's building I-phone apps at the moment.
I got accounts on a couple of affiliate programs (just to have a look about) a lot of it looks a bit tacky and the better stuff seems to have lower commissions.
So I'm inexperienced but I have some SEO skills, can get a good professional site sorted, have some capital to inject and I have time so what's worth looking into?
Sorry this was long and thanks for your patience.
