I am very successful and I can tell you that you don't need more than $50 to be successful as well.

jthenry55, I don't know what was your site about, but you should focus in a niche and make reviews

My first site was a review site. I bought a wordpress review theme site and chose amazon products to write reviews on with affiliate links for people to buy the products. I did that all free for the most part other than buying the domain and hosting, and $5 dollars to supposedly have someone give me 1000 backlinks but other than that I just sweat into it and made a couple bucks, but I let it go after i lost my ranking. I was getting around 100 to 300 visitors a month but my amaozn niche was not a great product to sell over the internet or maybe I just needed some tweaks in the site and content to rank better for good keywords.

Thanks

Well, the steps would be:

1- choose a new niche (because It seems like you don't like very much to return with your old site)
2- Make a nice design, simple and functional
3- Write good articles, reviews or somthing about a product
3- Use facebook, twitter, youtube
4- Don't pay for backlinks

Keep asking in this thread your specific questions

Thanks

Unless you are getting 100-300 visitors per day, amazon can be tough. However, it is certainly doable. I am doing very well as are clients of mine. Focus on products that others aren't. It's really that easy.

Target low competition products in a niche you are familiar with. Build a site that's professional looking, brandable, and clean. Stay away from EMDs. You'd be surprised how easy it is to rank products and how easy it is to get repeat and referral traffic when you have a professional looking site with good content.

Thanks

Do you really think EMDs are harmful (as opposed to not necessarily helpful)? Why?

jthenry55 12 years ago

what are EMD's? I have tried all the things above with my first site, and like I said I did have some success, I think I made around $20 or so. What I want to do is outsource most of it to a professional who has already had success on amazon or get a mentor who would be willing to walk me through the correct process to be successful.

Wolfmmiii would you be willing to take on mentoring me and help me become an amazon super affiliate. I'm willing to trade work or help you out in anyway possible in exchange for some of your expertise or anyone else who would be willing to couch me.

I don't think they are necessarily harmful from a ranking perspective but I do feel that getting repeat traffic and referral can be more difficult when your domain is some spammy-looking EMD versus a brandable domain that people will remember and trust.

What you need for a successful Amazon site are the following:

1. Good product research to identify niches and products which sell well but have less competition in order to rank on Page One. You can get good sales only if you feature amongst the top 3-5 positions on the first page of Google which handles 90% of the traffic.

2. Product reviews that make your visitor click through to Amazon. The reviews may be 500 words long and you must follow good on-page SEO factors. It is also essential to use the right keywords in your content including related keywords and long tail keywords which have low competition. Each product review should have 2-3 links to the product page on Amazon.

If you are building an authority site you will need to write articles other than product reviews which pertain to the niche that you are in. You may link to Amazon products within those articles.

Use a product image in your product review and link it to the Amazon product page.

3. Submit content to ezine, use social media like Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and others, make posts on Blogger and/or make Squidoo lenses/ hubs on Hubpages.

Don't just depend on Google to rank your site and spend too much time and effort on SEO. Do posts on Forums related to your niche, answer relevant questions on Yahoo Answers and upload video reviews on Youtube that can bring traffic to your site.

Remember all that you do on your site can only be effective if you have visitors coming to your site.

If you follow all the steps written above you will get enough sales every month.

If you have money to spare as you have mentioned you can use it to outsource some of the items above.

Thanks

There has been a ton of info shared over the last few years about being an Amazon affiliate. Go to the top of the page, and click on search. Type in Amazon and get yourself some refreshments as you will be a couple hours or more.

This one had a lot of good advice in it:

Best thing you could do is hire a professional SEO - and I mean a person who really understands SEO that works in 2012, not just some random self-declared SEO guru.

Will $1,000 be sufficient? Hard to tell, it might. Really good mentors are usually very expensive.

As for backlinking, I would recommend hiring an SEO VA to do SEO for you full-time. You can hire someone for as little as $60/week that can work for you 40 hours a week.

EMD = Exact match domain. You find a good keyword and buy a domain name with exact keyword.

You also want to swim where others aren't!

So many people focus just on the tried and true electronic products on Amazon. I can tell you that there are SO many products that have low competition...so look at those products. Also, new products are always coming out so look at the new releases on Amazon as you will find products that no one has touched yet!

Thanks

So one of my biggest problems is actually finding a good amazon product that sells for over $100 and has more than ten reviews, and when i do find a product the market seems saturated. Lets say I find a product and search google adwords for that product,
1.How many monthly searches is a good number?
2. when i type that key word into google whats the max number of results I should see before i say thats too much competition.
3. I also use SEO4firefox to get a webpages page rank, so when looking at that data when should i say thats too much competition.

This is always my problem, I start out flying out of the gate and than get discouraged when I can't find a good product with low competition, so I never get anything done or at least never past the research keyword phase because it always seems to competitive to even try and rank on google.

Please I need some help for fin ding the good Amazon products and how to find really good keywords that I can compete in.

Thanks

  1.How many monthly searches is a good number?
  
  Don't worry about it. I never even look at keyword tools or monthly search volume. Focus on low competition products and by the time your site has 50 different product reviews on it, you will almost certainly see enough traffic to be earning a monthly income.
  
  2. when i type that key word into google whats the max number of results I should see before i say thats too much competition.
  
  Forget about the number of results. Your competition is always TEN (the first page of Google). Look for a first page filled with weak sites and you are good, regardless of how many results there are.
  
  3. I also use SEO4firefox to get a webpages page rank, so when looking at that data when should i say thats too much competition.
  
  Personally, I target any product that produces primarily PR0 an PRNA results on page one when I search for that product. Keep an eye on backlink profiles too.

Amazon has a new releases section....Start there! Pay particular attention to those products listed with a future release date (in green). Those are golden!

  Would anyone be willing to help me find a good product on Amazon and do the keyword research with me kind of like a case study and I will build a site around it and we can keep track of the results and post them here to show how we did it, and to help other newbies get a start on internet marketing. Just an idea but if anyone's interested I would really appreciate the guidance and help.
  
  Thanks again guys this has been a good thread. with some good info.

  You can also succeed with high competition products provided you are using that product or really love that product area. Let me give you an example:
  Let's say you have a Nikon Camera that is a current model being sold on Amazon. Let's say you really like it. Now go out and start taking pictures and posting them on your review site. You will never run out of content and you will never get tired of doing it because you love photography.
  
  Make videos' from the slides and post them on YouTube and other video sites. Post pictures to flickr and the likes. Post to facebook etc. Post to Pinterest.
  
  Take pictures of sunrise, mid day, sunset, stars, in-doors, out-doors etc. etc. and keep posting them with a short write up on the camera feature that you used and the results.
  
  In a few weeks, you will be an expert on that camera, you will have the most relevant content and you will get good traffic.
  
  In addition to the camera, also post related products on the product page like bags, batteries, tripods etc. etc.
  
  Just remember one thing - there is no shortcut to success.
  
  Good Luck!
  
  Thanks

  Blog actively at Bloggerkhan.com. I continue to be a student of internet marketing and am fascinated by how different people use the same tools to get different results. I also do reviews -often because I can't find a good review elsewhere.

I use the SEOQuake firefox plugin to see the PR ranking of the sites on page one for a given search query. The lower the PR, the weaker the competition (generally speaking).
