should i have an opt-in on my amazon review site?

Hi Ooze,

I think it could be worth but you should decide that.

:p This is like a riddle: "What product costs about $200 and once people buy it, they will never buy another again?"

Hmmm...so you're SURE they will never buy anything like it again, huh? How about accessories for this mystery one-time product purchase, or related products that serve similar functions? How about a guide on how to use said product? Would your market potentially be interested in these?

Smart money says it's likely.

I've been making a great living primarily through Adsense and only recently started to explore Amazon a bit, and there are 2 things I've found after sending loads of highly-targeted traffic to hot-selling, top-rated products:

1) Amazon doesn't always convert as well on-site as those selling WSOs on the "wonders of being an Amazon affiliate" would have you believe.

2) People are shockingly responsive when you offer them something of value via an opt-in form on your Amazon sites (For example, a current "best-selling" list of products in the niche they were searching, or a "how-to-use-product-x-the-best-way" guide for the product they were looking for.

While Amazon is far from the goldmine it once was, their is still great potential in it, especially when you throw up a simple opt-in to a simple autoresponder.

There are a few variables that can come into play but I would highly consider it in most situations. Why try to tell to someone once when you have the chance to sell to them for a lifetime?

Thanks for all the responses, i guess i've got enough brain food now to make the decision
