Amazon review sites: My profitable recipe explained

by Chris Thompson

Hey everyone,

There are lots of posts online about how to make money doing Amazon review sites. If you read them you notice there are a lot of similar elements in many of them.

I have been experimenting with Amazon lately and I'm finding that it does work really well. There are a few tricks that I've learned from others here, and there are a few tricks I figured out on my own, or have borrowed from other business models.

I posted a pretty detailed breakdown of exactly what I'm doing here:
Doing Business Online: Outsourcing: Selling on Amazon

Everything is explained, soup to nuts. At least I think everything is explained. Even the economics, which I think are unbelievably awesome.

This post was inspired by my recent results where I built one amazon review site, did basic promotion, and I've seen incredible results. I don't think all of the sites I build will be as solid, but even if only a few are you just keep DOING it. Build more of them, over and over.

Here's my post link again

    Very information post. I guess there will be a lot of training of the VA since they are doing from start to finish.

      Yes - there is definitely some training required. What I did was this:

      1) I build my first site myself, so I understood the process. That site promoted some clickbank stuff and it's actually making money, which is cool. I picked a niche that I know a LOT about so it was fun to build the site. I shifted to Amazon after.

      2) I taught my workers exactly how to setup the sites and if they made a mistake I explained how to fix it. But I made THEM fix the mistakes and I made them document how to do it so that we have a Google Doc to follow for setup of the sites.

      3) I used JING to show my workers how to get affiliate links on Amazon. Jing is a free screencast program from the makers of Camtasia. Jing is awesome, and limits you to 5 minutes in your videos. If you take longer than that you are blabbing more than you need to.

      So the training required is:

      - Wordpress installation
      - How to pick amazon products
      - How to grab amazon links
      - How to post to wordpress
      - How to use Unique Article Wizard

      Not too tough. Treat your employees well so they enjoy this.

    Thanks for the positive comments. You're exactly right ... this stuff will seem like "no brainer" advice for those of us with experience, but if you are having a hard time and don't really know what to do it's super easy to get started with this model.
