Ok, Warriors I am a bit undereducated in this as you may have guessed from my previous posts. But I am learning and trying. I am currently looking for a way to increase my Amazon earnings. I read a forum post here from Chris Guthrie that went against the norm saying that low price products are a good way to boost the payout percentages.

SO...

I have found a niche with 4-7 seemingly good keywords that all are low competition and have global monthly searches at or above 1million. I think that sounds great.

I looked into a PLR pack I got recently and I find that I have several (more than 2 dozen) article directly and indirectly related to the niche and its keywords.

The problem is that the products on Amazon that I would be able to sell are all under $120 with the the bulk of them under $40. It seems I could get a site ranked fairly easily. I have TheBestSpinner and SickSubmitter to help and I know how to use WordPress with OnlyWire to help aggregate the link to social and bookmarking sites.

i guess I am just wondering if What I am going for w/sh/c-ould be worth it. Any thought you have are, as always appreciated.

    Yeah that is a good strategy.

    I try to sell mainly >$120 products so that the commissions are worth my time but if you have some fast-moving <$40 products you will boost your commissions % and make more commissions on your big ticket items.

    Just get your site ranked and take action, then you will know if it's worth it

      Yeah I know what I'm getting into (I think) I realize this will be a bunch of 50 to 75 cent sales. But I am hoping that with a bit of time spent on article marketing with the PLR articles, splitting some into blog posts to salt the Amazon reviews and possibly working in a e-mail campaign I can grab a significant portion of the 1million plus search traffic in the 4-7 keywords and convert that to some cash. Currently my other site (below) is getting like 1-6 sales per month and I'm earning paltry commissions. Last month I made great sales (for me) and made $50 on two $400 plus items and some others. I feel like if I could have jumped a level or three in Amazon's payouts I could have made much more. (Don't laugh it's comparative to my previous months of $2-7 earnings)
