how do you promote your Amazon websites?

I'll give you my 2 cents... say you are promoting kitchen faucets, you can start by writing an article about "kitchen design -kitchen faucets as a focal point", or "plumbing in the 21 century - kitchen faucets new solution for old problems" or "kitchen faucets - why you should really look in to it before finishing your new kitchen" ... just twist it in to a value info for you reader.
next you can look in wiki site on kitchens, interior design, general wiki, and add a segment on kitchen faucets. (you can add your link with your profile and if your post is adding value it will stick).
Than in blogs about these subjects add a comment or offer your article as guest.
In general if you incorporate your "Key word" or product in to a valuable info you can publish it in a bit wider topic.
And of course you can build links to your site from non relevant places through your profile, comments, articles and so on...
Hope that helps, if you have more questions I'll be happy to try answer ;-)
good luck
Ehud.

One way that I use is promoting Amazon products to my list. For example in the pizza making niche (only an example..) you could promote books about making pizza, pizza stones, pizza peels as well as ingredients to make pizza.

I have a number of review pages set up and over time I send my list members to these pages for items I recommended. The pages do contain content and acutal book or product reviews.

While I can't say I get huge conversions, I do get people to buy by emailing my list on a consistent basis.

And as I write this, I am reminded that I should have a list associated with all of my niche sites.

So for you it may be hard to have a kitchen faucet list, but maybe you could have a remodel your kitchen list.


And say taking my pizza example (OK it is a real example of what I do...), you could do the same with breadmakers. You could start a list in which you offer bread recipes. With your list you could promote through Amazon, different types of flour, bread making books, other bread making equipment.

The problem with a faucet review site, is that once someone purchases a faucet or breadmaker, from your site, they are probably not coming back. I mean how many faucets or breadmakers do you need in your lifetime?

Start a list. Give great content to get people to sign up. Then expand your offerings and then market to them again and again.

Seems to be the main theme here at the Warrior Forum.

Thank you, kelik. Because of your question, I wrote this down, and I now have a much clearer vision of what I need to do with some of my niche sites...

You'll need to alter your thinking a bit. "Kitchen faucets" is not a niche. It's a product. The niche would be "kitchen design" or "Kitchen rehab" or "Kitchen remodeling" and your target prospects would be people interested in those subjects.

Same idea for breadmakers. The actual niche would be "making bread" or "wedding gift ideas" and your target prospects would be people interested in making their own bread or finding a gift for someone.

Start with the humans who might buy what you want to recommend. What do they want to accomplish? How can you help them do it?

The review site is then just a shortcut to getting what they need to get what they want.
