Well done man, that sounds great. For some reason I really connected with your post because I'm at a kind of similar stage (though quite a bet less successful than you've been so far): I've been bitten by the bug and I'm excited to see where it goes from here. I actually saw your post immediately after signing up for amazon associates (I've only done adsense and CPA so far).

Anyway, hit me up with a PM if you feel like having someone at a roughly similar stage to bounce ideas off. I love IM so far, but it does get to be kind of a drag not being able to talk to people IRL about it because it's impenetrable and boring to people who aren't in the know.

With your amazon niche site, did you target a niche with a view to shifting big ticket amazon items, or did you get the traffic first and then realize amazon was a good way to monetize it?

Congratulations!

Couple of questions that could be useful for others as well and I'm just curious myself as well:

How many pages did you have to create to reach 30 unique visitors a day?
Did you do any linkbuilding?
how many content did you put per page?
I understand you create 1 page per product correct?

$600/month is not bad at all I think. 4% from $1000 revenue = $40/weekend = $20/day right, you should also throw in a bunch of cheap products to get your 6% or 8% fast. Then it really gets interesting.

Now invest all the money you make into content writers and scale it up HUGE, that is the strength of internet, there is no end and you can spend as less time as you chose to to get rich!

Smart choice on keeping the number of links to Amazon at a max of 3. I noticed that when you put more links the pages will rank poor. Not a bad investment either, if you outsourced all of it you would be done for a couple hundred dollars, DANG that is like 100%+ profit in the 1st month.

This is actually a pretty helpful thread, some good info here, thanks. I like the thought of doing minimal off-site seo work

I used to jump around because one thing wasn't working. I've learned this is a bad bad bad bad thing to do. I witnessed it too with other colleagues that did internet marketing. They jumped constantly because they weren't getting any results. And so they would make a new site and implement a new strategy, and they wouldn't see results once again. Then they kept repeating to the point of no return.

I only jump to something where I clearly know that my site is garbage. How would I know? Just by looking at it and getting opinions from others. I think over time I figured out what's a crappy site (not just the design of it), but overall. And even till this day I'm doing what I can to make my sites even better.

I've been sticking with this particular game plan and it's been working for me. It's created an authority based site as well with all the content. I also make a FB + Twitter page for my sites.

But seriously, there's people where they have a bad game plan/structure where they jump all over to a point where they can't even focus on making one site better. They leave it there making it extremely crappy.

If you focus your energy one step at a time and you're patient, then good things will happen. As long as you truly believe in what you do, done your research, and as mentioned; have a strong game plan you'll do well. In my opinion at least.

One advice. Everyone targets high priced items which is fine but if you Target lower price items, they fly off the shelves and makes your commission percentage jump higher faster.

Congrats on your success.

Also, what kind of numbers are you looking for in exact searches? 1k or so?

Sounds like you are doing amazing. I wish I was on that level. I just started my first service, and I can tell you, I know how you feel with the constant grind when it comes to work.

I should be mad at you, I was in the middle of watching Love and hip hop when I decided to check the wf for any interesting threads, now I don't even care about watching the rest of that crappy show, because this is so much better.

I'm really happy to hear your doing well with your IM career, Wolf's method is a good one, I'll try it when I'm done experimenting with my new site. I was going to make a few niche review sites, but now I'm thinking of going back to my old way of doing things and having a authority site with brand-able domain.

I been able to find plenty of keywords, all are more than 7,000 searches a month, and top ten results are pr 0s ,1s, with little to no backlinks.

The thing is I might as well build a authority site and rank pages instead of building a site for each one. Plus I like to build good sites so each one takes me 4 or 5 days just to get everything way I like it.


The thing with wolf's method is you have no way of knowing how much traffic you'll receive because these keywords don't show up in any keyword tool as having a monthly search volume if you look up "samsung model abc" Google keyword tool will give you this - meaning nobody searches for that keyword, but in reality that specific model may actually get searched a lot.

Great Job Paul! Really sounds like you're starting to get your feet off the ground with it. Keep going. And only 30 unique visitors per day? You must really have a high converter on your hands.

Great Job! Sounds like you had some really good targeted traffic.

Nicely done broseph.

My advice - don't let those long (or early) work hours mess with your health/fitness. Take up sports if you haven't already done so. I find that success at IM fuels success at sports/other things in life, which in turn makes me work harder at IM... you get the point.

Hey Paul I also bough this ebook by wolf and setting up my first site. Since im from europe I have a LOT less competition. One question though. How do you do your onpage SEO? I mean for a review how many words and density. I guess the pics you are also keyword targetting? If so, how many pics + keywords?

best wishes!

Thanks for sharing your story with us! I love hearing these sort of success stores, because it helps keep me motivated.

I don't know how to upload pics right but check that out.


This happened the past weekend. And yes there will be days where there are no sales. I'm not going to hype things up. BUT when I see something like this, it automatically tells me that SOMETHING is working so what do I do? SCALE UP. (I also think some of those clicks were counted from myself because I wanted to test out if the link worked lol).

I figured I wanted to start a thread for once where people can gain some insight from someone that started from the very start. If you see my past threads, it's asking tons and tons of questions. Hell, I bet paulgl, wolfmmiii and yukon were probably already pulling their hair just from all my questions but I want to succeed. And they helped me out. Like I said, for anyone that's new don't be intimidated to even send these people private messages. I was scared of paulgl with his responses on the forums but I was like man, this guy probably knows his s*** so I'm going to private message him. When he would respond he'd go into full detail; the same goes with the other people that I mentioned on my first post of this thread.

I also want to add that this exact strategy that I do comes from Wolfmmiii. I want to emphasize on that just because I really have to give credit where credit is due, his strategy got to where I'm at, and it's only getting better.

Hi Paul! You are clearly hitting it out of the park! I'm glad you are doing well with my strategy! Hopefully others will see the light and follow suit. It's really an easy strategy to implement and it obviously produces.

Good job!

Man, you got my internet ADD stirring up again. I already had my day planned out, but I'm going to have to reserve some time to research into this, haha.

The thing is, my article writing team is geared for adsense, and probably doesn't have the persuasive skills to write for amazon. That's actually why I haven't dove head first into this yet. I haven't found a good person to outsource the copywrite and I'm not writing content ever again myself

For high-priced items, which is good, but if your target price project, they flew off the shelves, so that your commission rate to jump higher and faster.

Awesome man, congratulations and keep the positive energy up.

Good for you that you have the time and if IM is what you want to do for a living, then go for it for sure!

Best of luck.

Congrats man it's all downhill from here

Glad to see you're getting some Amazon success

Good information man. I wish you all success. You wisely planned and making a good money. I really appreciate your effort. From this thread I found a new way to marketing. I used to think that but never planned to start them off now. I will do it from today.

wolfmmiii, GGpaul, I have also planned to use Amazon Affiliate seriously, I have account around 3 years old and I just made $18 but from now, I want to work for Amazon Affiliate.

I have registered a domain name "UseMyReviews.com", please guide me about how many products I should use per page, and how the page format would look, if you can mention any example it would be good for me.

Thanks in Advance!

this is great!

Wow! Thanks for sharing your stories with us. It seems like you're doing a really great job. Good for you that you achieved good traffics. Congratulations on your success. Keep up the great work

I follow THIS exact FORMAT.

Acer RL70-UR10P Review | My Tool Review Blog

Hey Paul,

Great success story man! I too am moving away from the microniche sites and into a more authority space - at first I was going to move away from Amazon completely but I now see that it still can be viable without doing all the spammy backlinking practices I was into a year or so ago.

One Idea I had was to use a "catchall" domain like the previous posters UseMyReviews.com and build out subdomains for the various niches... any thoughts on this?

-Rob

Congrats, very motivating post. I'm also starting to see some success now that I've gone down the low competition route. Getting the same unique visitors as you, but only made 4 sales so far, but hey, at least we know that this model works.

Sounds as if you purchased Wolfmmii's blueprint, like I did. Definitely going to follow it to a tee on my next site, as I started my current one before I bought the guide. Hope to replicate your success.

Wow! This post inspires me more.

So, it's gonna be like creating a review site with "keyword reviews.com" format of the domain?

I will try this one if you could share the resources that led you to achieve this. I know you've posted have some tips here but it is more better if I have the step-by-step process.

I was wondering, if you don't consistently build new content, do the other pages fall off? Does this play a role at all? Something for me to think about in the future.

GGpaul, Congrats on your success.

The Google SERPs are really weird. I wrote a review a few weeks ago on a low competition product (about 600 words long), yet it isn't even ranking in the top 10.

What is in the top 10 though for the keyword? Spammy wordpress.com pages and blogger blogs for the product with no original content. How do you rank so quickly when the SERPs are like this?

Absolutely love this. I love learning new things and expanding my skillset. I think i'm going to have to give this a run and document the progress. Guess that's one more thing to add to the already full plate

That's so true man! You can learn tons of things about SEO in this forum. I have joined this forum about a year ago and it became my main source of knowledge and inputs since then.

I've been hesitant to try this method because I out source my content, and was afraid to pay for articles on products they may end up being duds as wolf calls them. Than it hit me, this method is very similar to the one I used with adsense that allowed me to make a full time income.

I can't believe I said , "oh I would like to try this but there's noway of knowing how many searches a keyword gets" when I based my whole business model on the exact same principles at one time. Those long tail phrase have almost no competition so like everybody says it will be easy to rank fast and start earning money.

You'll have to excuse me, I have what you call a relax brain lol.

Hey Paul, so how much are you making per day with this at the moment? I'm really thinking about implementing and posting the results up.

Congratulations! Now pursue success ruthlessly and generate more money!

GGPaul, do you focus on products which were only released recently i.e. in the last 1-2 months or do you promote any low competition products as long as the first page comp is PR0?

What type of on-page seo do you use to optimize the page? Whats your keyword density?

I personally like reading a post like this as it motivates.

Liking this thread! But don't you guys find it a bit challenging to do reviews about products you probably haven't tried yourselves?

One more question: I know you use wolfmmii's "strategies" but do you use you use wolfmmii's data input system for the reviews? Or do you make the reviews yourself and structure them yourself?

GGPaul, out of your reviews have many of them outranked sites such as Amazon, epinions, next tag, etc.. on the 1st page or did you get to your current visitor level by being ranked behind those sites? It seems that post Penguin, those authority sites are dominating the SERPs more for product keywords than before.

@cooler....

I know the question is directed at GGpaul but I'll give you my experience until he shows up. It doesn't matter if you outrank amazon, etc. people looking for reviews are going to be looking at multiple first page results so as long as you can hit page one, you are usually good. Also keep in mind that most people have already been to amazon so they aren't going to go there again if they are looking for more info.

looks like onlywire plugin is broken for the latest version of wp ;/

[DELETED]

Sounds great man! Keep up at it and you'll be a millionaire by next year.. Or atleast, much richer!

Woah, I know that I mentioned that I average about 30 visitors a day. But the past three days have been on fire! Check it out! And it's not even midnight yet.

I can tell you that my conversion rate for THIS week though is at 8.25%.

[DELETED]

Get on Google Webmaster Tools and optimize your site for any decent keywords that show positions 5-20... you can probably increase traffic 5-10x with just a few small but targeted backlinking campaigns and some on-page optimization. GWT reports tons of data that most (99%+) webmasters don't use.

I got my first result from Amazon sales too today - 1 sale, $8 commission. Funny thing is that this person bought the product I did NOT recommend to buy (I used this product for a comparison with better and cheaper models). Maybe I should start making "anti-rating" Amazon sites, like "worst products ever" with buttons "Don't buy this from Amazon"and "Don't read more user reviews" ?

[DELETED]

[DELETED]

Way to go GGpaul!

You are right, I have been very busy as of late working on a new licensing model for the Review Sites Made Easy software that you are using to create your reviews.

Let me know if you want a free premium theme that works with the system you are using. It's the least I can do for such a shining example of my strategies and system!

Hey Wolf, do you inner link your pages/silo structure at all with your strategy? I haven't implemented that yet.

Congrats my man!
I find myself working extensive and arduous hours on my sites and business - but I wouldn't have it any other way as this is what I love. When you find something you love doing and love showing others it shows you have found a gem and would do anything - like giving up your time and efforts.
I'm glad the time you are putting in are paying off - it took my a while to get off the ground but once you do the feeling is amazing!

Surminga

@bestseller:

Although I'd rather you buy it, I'm glad you found the blueprint useful. Let me know if u have any questions.

I am extremely surprised this works so well (and as i read your OP rather easy without any link building except bookmarking) - using Amazon product names. It's like the oldest method ever I assume you must have really good, compelling and convincing content.

Edit: I am surprised because i myself used Amazon in the past, in many different ways on all kinds of sites. So you don't use any KW tools and just look at page #1 in google? Do you use any criteria, eg. search volume?

[DELETED]

Thanks GGPaul for this inspirational post! Just bought wolf's package and hopefully I'll be achieve success like you guys.

I always used brand new domain to set these sites up.

[DELETED]

Good for you man, PPC really has its potential, especially about a few years ago I was really rocking it. But it got competitive afterwards. What's your angle with PPC now?

Great information here. It's good to know you are not using black hat and you are writing good content.

I enjoyed this thread and I thank you for posting the information.

Congrats!

Okay guys, I'm going to be disappearing for a while. I'm going to try to aim $150 a day consistently. I need to fully focus on my sites. Trying to get an Acura NSX (my ultimate dream car). The car I'm driving right now is at 334k miles. Which prevents me from visiting my gf (long distance) cause I have to past the grapevine (uphill mountain).

Glad you guys enjoyed the thread. Honestly, Wolfmmiii is the guy to help you out. He's extremely busy, and may not respond right away. But go to his site and you can communicate with him there. He'll get back to you one way or the other.

I just want to conclude that his strategy helped me out and it prevented from quitting online marketing. Like I said I was tired of purchasing all kinds of WSOs, they were a waste of time, over hyped. This is probably the best investment I've ever done.....next to BMR when it was super cool LOL! Peace.

@Tessa:

You just described the exact opposite of this strategy. Why target products that a million other affiliates are targeting when you can target products that nobody else is promoting and rank easily?

I built a brand new site for someone last week or so. The site was ranked and the 3 sample reviews on the first page and getting traffic within 3 days.

Best of luck,!!

Great thread. Really informative when I begin with amazon I'll buy wolfs wso he seems to be highly regarded and recommend by several members.

What Wordpress theme do you use?

I just love those posts. It get us going and pushing even harder.
Thank you @GGpaul

Keep it up man!

GGPaul has said he won't be around much (busy implementing my system). However, we basically just look at the first page of Google to see what the competition looks like.

I posted a review of a product on August 17th around noon. By 1pm, it was ranked and seeing traffic. I've already earned commissions from that particular product.

Oh, I should also note: Don't worry about getting to number one. It's not necessary. I mean, it's always nice but because of the way this specific strategy works (coupled with the intent of your typical searcher), getting onto page one is usually all you need to do (above the fold preferably).

Hey Wolf, How would your system work with a theme provider / store front as Fresh Store Builder by fellow Warrior Carey Baird? Also , I have sent you a PM with some additional questions etc.. I look forward to your reply..

Thanks ,
Jason

The system is quite integrated into the theme itself. I currently have 4 or 5 themes that work with it with several more coming. They will be officially released in the coming days.

Hey folks, I'm about to head to bed so I decided to add a little update.
I'm liking the results I've seen so far. This past weekend I had a really good conversion rate and sold a good amount of items.

In order for me to scale up, I've created a strong plan to hit my goals. I'm now expanding on 6 sites, each will end up with 50-100 product reviews by mid September. More details later. Take care!

Hey GGpaul,

Thanks for sharing your success story! Its very motivating.
Try to scale things up, outsource your reviews and focus on building more site's!

Good luck and keep us posted.

Its cool this is working for you. I have been trying the same but my articles are not going to page 1 even after using onlywire. The competition is tiny too. Guess im doing something wrong.

The more frequently you post content, the more your site is spidered. The more spider activity you get, the faster you are indexed / ranked.

Remember folks, this is a strategy that works. However, it does require some work.

I'm posting content using wolfs strategy and I can say as soon as I hit submit on Wordpress my post is indexed and ranked almost always within 30 mins max usually quicker. The site is on an aged domain with around 50 reviews and counting, One review I did one day ranked number 1 and made a sale don't know how often this happens but it's a great motivation boost.

People have just got to take action buy wolfs guide, put some work in and you will be rewarded

Thanks newy. Aged domains certainly don't hurt. However, I typically see the same results on brand new sites as well. Much comes down to personal preference with this strategy. I'm glad you are finding success with my strategies.

Woke up this morning and was surprised by this today.



This is with 2 of my sites. One (the one that's helping me the most) gets about 70-80 views a day now and the other one (new site) gave me 13 views.

Not too shabby.

Anyways I'm working on 5 sites now. Hopefully this will turn out well.

It really boils down on having great content =D.

The conversion rate looks really good to me....

hey guys, following a similar method to you and by just getting the right products im hitting the first page within hours, however i now have over 100 clicks on my amazon links but no conversions, any tips?

This thread is full of awesome.

When you target low-competition products that very few others are promoting, Google is practically begging for good content to show.

I own roughly 10 sites (the kind I taught GGPaul to build). Whenever I post a new review on any of them, it is usually indexed and ranked on page one of Google within minutes and almost always within 24 hours.

Following my system requires no more than the initial automated social boookmarking of each new product review to rank. I haven't built backlinks to any of my sites in probably a year.

Hey Wolf, out of curiosity have any of your sites with this strategy ever got hit with panda/penguin?

Great to hear you are doing well and not spending 24/7 doing it GGPaul.

Sounds like you have some good conditions around you to continue developing your business model - make the most of it!

wolfmmiii, how are you social bookmarking your product reviews? Are you using a specific tool?

Such a great thread. I can't find your email anywhere Wolfmmiii, I appreciate the advice in my thread about my first site.

Hey wolf does your amazon-theme can be replaced with clickbank affiliate? or am I only limited to amazon affiliate ?

Hey Paul Congrats and keep posting. I am now going to buy Wolf's blueprint and going to start again. Threads like these keeps us motivated.!

I like your thread It's inspirational

Great Job Paul. I'm actually starting to do this as well and my site has a few posts up already. I can finally add some decent Amazon income to accompany the Adsense!

Also good job with the guide Wolf. It's short, but it gets right to the point, which is perfect for people like me

Love this....great that you're willing to do what most are not.

Keep up the hustle.

Phil

I just want to throw a rant out out there. There are some crappy threads being posted and it's pissing me off. I guess people just really want their sites indexed or something with their signature. I feel like Mike Anthony is the police officer though, where he just destroys every person that posts something ridiculous. .

Anyways - enough with the rant. Yeah guys, just treat this like any business. It's a great feeling to wake up at 5 AM and to see some income roll in. It just makes me want to work even harder to earn more.

My mindset is, "if I can make this much with one site, well then what about 5 more sites?"
"If I devote only 3 hours a day, what happens if I devote 8 with the proper plan and execution?" Everything seems to roll in.

Stick to plan and just do it. Don't look back, and don't slow down.

I'm now making sales on 2 of my sites =). And they're no where near finish.

Hey, I just adopted this strategy for one of my sites that only had 4 reviews before this. I have a tendency to start something and never finishing it. I'm updating those reviews to match wolfmii's data entry backend and will start on new ones once that is done.

Thanks for the inspiration.

Awesome post GGpaul. I am fairly new here and to the IM game but your post really helped me out a lot. I recently launched my first site (medical niche adsense site) and I am not seeing the results that I had anticipated. But thanks to you I am now looking into Amazon Affiliates. Just wanted to let you know to keep up the good work and keep us all posted to how its going for you. I always like reading about someones story from the beginning.

What time do you guys usually go to bed? I get most of my IM work done at night between 8 - 11PM ... since I have a 9-5 working for the man.

I am usually more productive in the morning ... so I am wondering if I should shift to waking up around 5, and getting 3 hours of work in before I head off to my other job.

Wolf I cant PM you back, I bought your blueprint and I want to buy the theme but I didnt recive any discount code, can u pm it to me ?

I think this type of common sense strategy is going to get more and more popular as people realize that quality will always help you survive whatever sorta wildlife update Google throws out. Making simple, quality and scalable sites is a winning formula all the way around. I have done similar style sites for a while and they convert like crazy and are so damn simple to start. Great info you are giving everyone here.

I am finding it tough to find a niche. I look at various products then check the searches on Google and in most cases, Amazon reviews (pr4) take up half of page 1's results.

[DELETED]

Wolfmmiii, or anyone that can answer this. With pingler, I noticed that I max out every day especially if I post maybe 8 products a day. Do you guys sign up to a monthly program? If so which one? There are a lot of options starting at $2.95 a month or so and up.

Defiantly don't pay money to ping a site/page.

Pingler gives you all the URLs that they use (on their Index page):

You are using a blog format or a website style? I see you said 30 posts? You mean 30 articles per site?

Just a heads up....

A big (and much overlooked) part of this strategy is a brandable domain that attracts referral traffic and repeat visitors. When you go down the EMD route, you almost certainly eliminate (to some degree) those two key benefits of such a site because most reputable sites aren't going to link to underwatercamerareviews.org nor are many people going to come back after their initial visit.

My sites receive a healthy dose of referral and return traffic and that's because they are legit, brandable sites that people remember and want to come back to.

So each site may have 30 or so review pages of related niche products? Sounds like a winning plan.

been skimming the thread, gonna read da whole shabang. after i eat dis here ice cream

[DELETED]

I'm making money online with Amazon too. I do things differently though.

I have a mixture of medium authority sites with both review sites and pitch products for targeted traffic.

I disagree with you though that product selection and keyword research is not important. You are increasing your work load if you don't do product selection, keyword research and product validation.

Keyword research, product selections and product validations are very important parts in an affiliate system such as amazon. Google Adwords Keyword research tool is not the only to research and validate a product. There are many ways to do that like using the Bestseller's list, Movers and Shakers, Most Gifted or Most Wished For Items and ads on google search results.

Why bother wasting 2 hours writing a review if there are no buyers for this product.

Also for people looking to get into Amazon Affiliate marketing, ignore the gurus who told you to sell only high priced items. You need a mixture of small, medium and high priced items so as to increase your commission %. Aim to hit the 7.5% as fast as possible by focusing the first one week on cheap items. When you hit this, shift your marketing efforts to high priced items.

Build niche authority sites around specific products that people buy most of the time online like nail treatments, etc. I have a site that mainly pitches products. I do not write reviews for it. I just make sure that it stays on the front page of google for its main keyword and I earn around $200 from it every month.

Also people do not forget to scale, once you are making a solid $100 from your sites. Rent writers from philipines or india or your neighbours to write reviews for you. Just do the product selection and validation and watch how your bank account increases.

Anyway nice going GGPaul. Keep up with it and don't forget to scale if you want to earn big money!

Thanks a lot for the link. Are you split testing your reviews?

What kind of high priced items are you selling most? Electronics, Kitchenware?

Paul has it right. Two hours to write a review? Man, if I spend more than 15 minutes, I'm working too slowly.

I will say this though, Paul; most people are not using the same software that we are to create reviews. As such, review creation will take longer for those folks (sometimes considerably).

When you follow my strategy as Paul has done so well, you are pulling in highly targeted traffic that already has wallet in hand. With that kind of traffic, you dont need tons of it and you don't need to do lots of pre selling.

Great post, congratulations for your success in amazon.

Are you countng your research as part of that review time? I don't see being able to read the product description, several customer reviews, and writing your own review based on that information in just 15 minutes.

This is especially true because some of the products have either poor or nonexistent benefit statements.

Alright, back to focus mode. It's the weekend. Need to capitalize since the Amazon paycheck is coming up soon . Peace everyone!

All I can say is you guys are great. I would really like to know as well how to find the products for the niche products for the site. I have been trying unsuccessfully for months now to sell amazon products through my own sites with no success. I have been able to make a few sells through another site that I have content posted on that allows Amazon capsules. Please help guys.

Wolf how can I contact you? I don't enough messages to PM you..

Sorry if I've missed it, but are you building a list?

I will follow your advice wolfmmiii for now i can't afford the WSO you are selling but i bet it can work wonders.I will be looking forward to doing so later.

Wolf how can I contact you? I don't enough messages to PM you..

All...

I'm going to bail on this thread for at least most of today. I've got a backlog of sites that I have to get done for clients, not to mention getting some content up on my own sites. I'll stop by later this evening or tomorrow to catch up.

Tom

[DELETED]

first sale today of a $100 product for me.

Hey Wolf, I know you're busy, Just letting you know I sent you an email.

Thanks man!

Quick question guys... first of all this thread is Ah.Maz.Ing!

Would you recommend having a niche specific domain name that caters
only to electronics or can I have a generic domain name like bestreviews.com
and review all kinds of products (i.e- electronics, appliances, power tools, cookware, etcs.) yet have them listed under their own category
within this generic website? ... I hope this makes sense...

I prefer niche-specific domains that are brandable (ie. ExeteKelectronics.com). That said, I more generic domain will work if you want to cover a broad range of niches on one site.

Alright this thread is official over for me. Some (*#@% did something clever, that I'm not going to talk to about. People really take advantage of free information don't they?

Wish you guys luck, PEACE.

Whats happened with your sites GGpaul?

Ah ok good to hear. Keep going GGpaul, you made me work harder

Hi wolfmiii, I have a quick question. Where do I find my Amazon AWS Subscription Key? I made an AWS account. Is it Access Key ID the same as the Subscription Key? Thanks.

Sorry for completely derailing the discussion, I couldn't reach wolf via email and was looking to test out his strategy (I also lack post count)

yesterday i decided to give it a try.... let's see how things will evaluate in future. Planing today to post my first review. Any chances in acne niche? Any ideas?

dude yeah congrats on your success man....killer!

I know there's nothing like that feeling of waking up..turning on your computer..and seeing that you made a c-note. Ha lol.

That's the fun part when you get to that level of making money finally and it feels really good.

Thanks too for the specifics on your site.

Hello everyone! I'm brand new to wf and i'm business partner with GGpaul and im very excited that I joined. Looking forward to learning a lot of things from you guys.

Hey Wolf /Paul, don't you think the commision of amazon is a little low? only 4% commision? so if i'm selling a 100$ product I get only 4$ for it ?

Wolf can you pm me or post here which course is your latest course.

Got it paul. Going to take action today. Will show you how it goes. Thanks

[DELETED]

I don't like most of the "review" themes on the market today. I prefer a decent magazine theme.

Wolf one question. Don't you think the electronics will be outdated and the products are upgraded all the time.

Do you suggest keep on adding content even after the site gets 60-70 pages big and doing well.

Every niche winds up with older "stuff". You don't have to promote electronics. To be honest, I wouldn't even recommend it in most cases as most people don't even have the expertise to do so.

Remember folks....Stick with what you know. Don't try promoting something if you know nothing about it. You come off as an idiot when people read your content - trust me.

The way I see it, Amazon will be there for a long time....as long as products are made. And so far products are made all the time....

Unless a bunch of aliens came over and destroyed our planet, or some giant catastrophe happens and we're back to the dinosaur days.

Amazon works well if you have a hundred sites or more. The commission of 4% is not just for the products that promote but for anything that the visitor may lay his eyes on and buy on impulse.

2nd sale of a $1200 computer today for me

I wouldn't advertise your niches here.

No success sales wise yet but I have noticed a huge improvement in the rate my new posts are getting indexed. Now I post and 5 minutes later its indexed.

Next problem I must overcome is when they rank they only rank from 11-30. Only wire doesn't seem to want to push them into the top ten

OnlyWire probably won't push anything into the top 10. I use it strictly for indexing only.

I am probably in a tougher competition niche i guess.

This thread is a huge inspiration.

Scratch what I said earlier. I have 17 pages and in last hour 6 of them jumped like 50 places to the top 10. Guess key was having patience. Next step is getting sales, thanks for all your help wolf and GGpaul

I've had some sites generate a commission on the first review and others that took longer.

Remember folks, the strategy that I taught GGPaul is a very specific strategy. Each part plays a very specific (and important) role. Leaving any pieces out can produce unexpected results.

From domain name to the plugins I use to the format of my reviews to the size of the site, each plays a very specific role in my (and GGPaul's) success. Keep that in mind before undertaking this strategy.

are there any drawbacks from making these types of websites really big, like 200-500 pages?

wolf,

any updates on the new themes?

big plans as in do something cool and different with it, or big plans as in it's gonna be a massive money maker and will destroy how people typically think about making money on Amazon?

I guess I'll post more..

Anyways - guys make sure you find a niche you're into. Not something just cause of "A LOTTA SALES, TONS OF $$, F YEAH!!!!".

Really, find something you're really into, and that you have a knowledge about. You save a lot of time, and your content is going to be A LOT better. Even if you hire writers, you can always edit, or add a little bit of your flavor that makes it stand out. And those are the ones that's selling for me.

There's this site I have, I have 30 product reviews and it's going no where. And just going through it, it sucks compared to my other one. And part of it is that I HAVE NO CLUE what I'm talking about, I just figured it was a good niche to make $$. But then I get lost with that niche/products. And I spend a lot of time trying to figure out wth I'm trying to write. It's just a waste of time and $$.

Just my 2 cents. Peace!

This is great! Could you please share one of your post as example how it looks like? If it is not a secret. Thank you Jan

[DELETED]

Got a question for you guys. If I want to earn around 2k per month, how many sites should I make? Just base it on your experience

Yea i think your right. I will just focus one system at a time and get good at it. Thanks!

All...

If you are a customer of mine, please use my email address to contact me. There are literally hundreds of you so I'm trying to keep all communications coming through one channel. Plus, I don't want to turn this into a support thread for my products and services.

Wolf I understand this question is very early to ask for me but just curious that you only have 10 review sites why you didn't grow it more?

2 months? 3 months? Whatever it is, that just motivated me even more to capitalize the most that I can for that particular month.

Can anyone recommend a niche? i know is funny to ask this, but need to start on this somehow

No backlinking, I'm scared haha!!! Since traffic is going up.

Niche : whatever you're into man!

I spend all of my time focusing on content. I don't bother backlinking as I get natural links from major sites and forums. Since I target low competition stuff, I'm already above the fold on page one in most cases so ranking isn't an issue nor is traffic.

^^There's always stuff to optimize and get more traffic/increase conversions.

Just from my own experience, if you have tons of sites that are all ranking and getting natural links just like that, you can probably 5x your revenue in under a month with: high quality link building campaigns, optimizing your pages for conversions (there's always stuff to improve) and creating major "hub" pages for your top converting traffic/offers (because you never know exactly what the "goldmine" keywords are going to be until you actually start getting traffic and conversions).

Another important bit of advice: if you got niches where page one requires literally no work (just a review) and it is converting super good for you - take over the front page. Build multiple websites in the niche and dominate it. You know it converts, you know that ranking is a no brainer - there's no reason not to take all of that traffic.

When you find something that converts really well, you have to scale it in every direction. That's pretty much what every real business out there does.

I'm going to order your guide wolf - really interested in the techniques you use to create reviews that attract links from major websites. From what I have seen - you gotta do some serious quality (non derivative) work to get that kind of exposure. Especially with product reviews. And consistently with many websites.

Paul did you take the onlywire subscription after writing some posts or from the first post itself?

There's lots in there that I disagree with but I'm not going to bother. You are correct - to each his own. You have your business model and that's fine. This particular thread is about a different type of business model that works. I prefer to focus on discussing the business model at hand anyway.

[DELETED]

Couldn't you also do a hybrid style , let's say you've found a keyword that get's 12,000 searches a month and is fairly easy to rank, something like idk "remote control helicopters" , you could rank for that term and also review each model of remote control helicopters made.

So you could combine wolf's long tail approach, and traditional ranking methods and make money from both. You would get traffic from ranking in top 3 spots, and also traffic from people searching for specific models. In theory anyways.

Since I have to pay for my articles this is the method I'm going with, so if I miss my mark with the long tail review I can make up for it with the fact that I get traffic from my keyword.


When I say easy to rank, I mean less than a hundred links should get you in top spots, good links anyways, so you wouldn't have to spend to much time on link building.

Sure, you could do that. What I should be doing on my own sites is doing a bit of internal linking by writing some content for some higher-competition products and then linking to it from each of the low-comp product reviews.

That just gave me an idea for an add-on template for my review system!

Cool, I'm glad my thinking is on right track.

Wolfmmiii,

Can you pm me your email addy please.

I wanted to email you with a couple of questions.

Cheers, Adam

@adsman68....done

Niche selection wouldn't cause you not to rank. That would be more a function of your content or choice of products or their competition.

The only thing I think I am doing wrong when I compare my site to your guide is my content is typically 250 words rather than 350-400. Major issue?

It could be. If you are doing everything else the same, it could be the short content or maybe the products themselves are more competitive than you realize.

Every SERP is different. There's no way to tell exactly why you're not ranking without looking at your pages and keywords. And even then it's not always simple to figure out what's wrong (sometimes it's not that obvious).

You can start by looking at what the top 5 or so results are doing (on page and off page). That's normally a good place to start. Unless there's tons of spam at the top (and even that should tell you something).

Really useful thread, thank you for all the valuable info you provided here. Do you think this could work with Blogger site with custom domain and appropriate theme?

I cant pm yet. I sent an email to your @wolfwebmarketing email.

Feel free to criticize, and tear the sites faults apart.. Its the best way to learn.

Just read it. Thanks for taking time out of your day to look at it. Appreciated and taking the advice on board.

This is something that every internet marketer wants to see! I am doing the same but with the twist.

I am targetting local market because there is hardly having any competition ! Average earning $1 to $2 with auto blogging, no seo, no backlinking and 10-15 visitors hardly.

Going well just like you.

Some you guys who do backlink, do you have a mixture of different backlink methods or do you just stick to one or two methods that your comfortable with? ex. blog commenting

Wow. I would have never thought that this would attract so many people. Even the old school gurus are here!

Yes, it is hit or miss. However, it's still content adding value to your site.

I just created a new site and i did keyword research but no monthly traffic showed up, especially when i add the product number into the phrase. Do you think I should just go for it? I know it it will add good content to my site I guess i'm worried about profit due to financial hardships at this moment and time

So I got an e-mail from Amazon saying they released payments. But I didn't pass the threshold ? But then again I looked it was for June? AH now I know what bnetwork meant.

Oh wow and my strategy didn't really work till August. So it'll take some time, but all in all just gotta keep capitalizing so I don't have to worry.

Yes, you have to hit $100 (I think) to meet threshold. If you are lucky enough to start at the end of a month, you can get tagged by this.

This is very inspirational. I'm happy to say that I made my first affilate sale last week using ppc as well.

It's cool to see you made money going after the low hanging fruit (as their called)

Pretty interesting thread and great advice about ranking low competition keywords. I built a site a few weeks ago which only has bollywood actresses pictures on it then some tags I got from Google suggest and Keyword Researcher just to see if I could get it to rank without any actual content except the small 250 word blurb on the front page.

Only backlinks coming from YT videos I have on the site and adding links to a bollywood group I joined, and a small PPC campaign I ran for the first week then stopped just to get some initial traffic to it.

The sites set up so the home page has a single picture of each actresses I have uploaded with links underneath going to either pictures or videos opening in a new window to try and reduce the bounce rate.

The result:

1738 visits
958 of those coming from Googles organic search
Bounce rate of less than 55%
With Google ranking my pages for 624 different related searches with multiple first page rankings.

Not bad for a site which only has pictures. The site was built as a test to see if I could drive traffic to sites with no content and zero seo. Have to say, seems successful thus far. But it's still early days yet and will see how it fares after the next major update I keep seeing people talking about.

If your curious, this is the site url bollywoodactresspictures.in

The next site is going to be exactly the same but Amazon based to see if I can get the same results but make money from it and all based around really low end search terms and zero article content.

dude...so very killer to see posts like this. I know it is so addicting once you finally make it to the point when you have an income stream coming in from your online efforts. Congrats to you and may you future be fortunate.

P.S. Watch out though....as soon as the gf starts to see your cash roll in....it's gonna be shoppin time for daddy! LOL

I got this system but I'm falling at the first hurdle; not your fault! Don't know if it's cos the US is so much bigger (I'm in the UK) but I can't find a single product area in this price range that comes up with stuff from the past *month*. In which case I'll struggle to have enough stuff to write reviews about. I'm not sure whether I'm able to promote US stuff. I thought I should be able to but the grey affiliates bar only shows for me when I use amazon.co.uk. Damn, dying to get going!

I just started this kind of site today, wrote 3 reviews already and also singed up on onlywire, will post my progress and share anything new I come up with.

I'm so glad that this thread came into good use. Remember - if you're expecting immediate results with little work at the first stage then this strategy isn't for you. Keep building
Is the key.

[DELETED]

Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this but having overcome the previous problem with your help, I'm having a problem installing the theme provided into Wordpress. It tells me it's a broken theme and that the stylesheet is missing. Any idea on how I might resolve this? Thanks in advance!

Congrats! You remind me of myself a few years ago, similar idea I had been working on but still making five figures from it over the network of sites. When Amazon is done right, the money just rolls in non-stop. All you need is to see the profit growing and it restores your motivation entirely. Keep at it from the looks of things, you'll be do great things.

Paul...

I've sent you a free download link for one of the premium themes I've made available for the review system. I've also set you the update plugin. Make sure you test them on a test domain /site first.

Tom

Wow, using this strategy I just found a product that has two FB notes ranking on page 1 above the fold and a Pinterest pin ranking further down... I've never seen a pin rank for anything.

Sites that target one specific product are not long-term viable options. When the product goes away, you are left with a useless website. The sites we build target broader niches and lots of products within those niches.

Tom,
You are so fast man at customer service. I bought a $29 product and you answered all my questions by email so fast and on time. You activated my download link on Saturday within an hour. I was expecting on Monday
Thanks a lot man... You are the star!!

Roy

Hey
I've been reading every single post of this thread and took many notes - quite inspiring! I want to get started and built some sites like that as well. Gonna buy Toms Blueprint.

I'm already earning with Amazon and stumbled upon this thread while looking for ways to improve my existing methods and get to know new ones.

This month I had more than 40k clicks to amazon, though the conversion rate is reeally low.
Anyhow: The small earnings I make are a good motivation to focus on it and really build some nice pages.

Thank you Paul for telling us all so much about your progress!

Best
Moritz

Just figured I'd say that I bought the blue print after talking to Tom and Paul. I'm still looking for a niche but Tom is awesome at quickly replying to my...many, many questions. Lol. Hoping to find a good niche or two this weekend and have him get my site up!

Niche Selection has ALWAYS been my Achilles heal.

Woke up at 6:00am and been working ever since.

Google is where most of your traffic will come from. The strategy for finding low competition products is what allows you to rank easily. Remember folks, just randomly targeting specific products won't necessarily yield good results. You have to find low competition products.

Great job! You should start promoting things that will keep providing you residual and a higher payout. Not saying you need to, but that's what "I would do... well have done. Tired of working setting up tons of stuff just to see something happen later. I rather build on something that will keep building on it's own. make sense?

This is a fascinating thread that has really made me think about getting back into writing reviews.

I had a site that went after the big keywords; I created great reviews, linked back to my content and was rising up the search rankings while making a few sales. Then I stumbled across BMR, got onto the first page for most of my big keywords and then suddenly.. well, you can all guess what happened.

I have a quick question.. What type of hosting do you use for these different review websites? Do you go for one hosting package with unlimited domains?

Congrats man!

How are the new themes coming along wolf?

@wolfmmiii I'm buying Review Sites Made Easy right now and am looking forward to have my first site up and running today!

[DELETED]

Woke up at 8am, went for a run, ate breakfast and been working since! I'm a regular Joe, **** yeah!

Nice achievement mate, i really like your signature :
Tough times don't last, tough people do

best of luck for your amazon.

kind regards

xeniux

what a great post!
i to have a few amazon sites all doing very well with organic traffic just at this moment no sales!!!
thants my struggle..
anyone intrestted or able to help pm me

Alright - I got one new site all set up, now I am getting started to write reviews for it.

One quick question: Which exact services do you use with Onlywire? Gonna set up all accounts that make sense then. I've never used it before...

@Tom Would be happy to get the new Themes as well! Don't quite like the Gazpomag one yet...

wolf,

Would it be possible for you to send out an email with the new themes location to all of your buyers?

What if any plugins do you use for your sites?

Awesome thread. Thanks to all of you who are sharing so much valuable information!

One question: How do you compete with Amazon in rankings?

Paul, sent you an email. I cant pm yet.

Update: I'm now at 180 unique visitors a day for ONE site.

What do I do? JUST KEEP ON BUILDING.

I get bored, so I write different content with 4 other sites that I'm working on.

A lot of you are msging me about finding a niche. Honestly, I'd write down a list of all the things that you're interested in/have a knowledge about, and/or write a list of all the things that people want and need; and learn more about it.

Just go through Amazon there's TONS of products.

Of the hundreds of people who have purchased my blueprint, GGPaul appears to have grasped the concept the best and he is running with it. It's obviously paying off.

Pay attention when he says to stick with niches you know.

No sales for me yet, but I think that's because I don't have any traffic. Can't wait til i get the hang of this method. I much prefer writing content to SEO.

How old is your site Luvhammers? Did you use Tom's strategy?

The domain is 8 years old but only had content on it for a few weeks. I recently changed the niche though because it gets updated with new products more often.

I am following the blueprint yes. I am pretty certain I am getting product selection wrong, but I guess the more reviews I put on site the better chance I got of getting some visits.

I find it weird that I get about 6-10 visitors on my FTC disclosure policy for one of my sites a day, for the past week? O_O.

One question about some legal stuff:
- I got the Disclosure for Amazon on my site
Do I need anything else?

Just put your site instead of xxxxx.com

Looks like you hit the Samsung market that took off due to Apple's lawsuit. I have a bit insider knowlege that people are buying ANY phone that's Samsung even if that phone is not under threat due to the lawsuit. Hah! Silly people.

I've tried the phone niche (and cameras). I obviously know this strategy inside and out and even I stay away from those niches. They can be a nightmare.

There's a site I'm working on with 32 posts. And honestly, I lost interest in it and don't want it at all. Anyone interested? I'll sell it for a low price lol.

It gets some traffic. It sold 5 products. There's potential of it blowing up. No promises though. But everything is all good to go.

How many sales/day are you making on your 67 post site GGpaul?

Inspiring.. Im' 25 too..I must be better person every day..
Just want full my time with some usefull activity

^^ more sites == no more $0.00 days. It's simple maths/statistics really.

Good going bro!

Guys, so I'm up late and I noticed some of my keywords have jumped around. I believe the "latest" algorithm was released.

The thing is most of my keywords are still at the top page, but my "best" keyword that got tons of searches fell off. Hopefully it's because the algo is so brand new that things are all over.

I'll keep you guys updated.

For how much? Email me please. I don't think I can receive a PM. Monique.burkes [at the big G]

Im curious about the referral commissions.

I sold a product that should have resulted in a 22 dollar sale but I only got 12 dollars for it.

It was a 3rd party sale if that makes a difference......

why did I only get 12?

What was the product's price?

That doesn't make sense. Are you sure the commission you received was for that product?

Here's what I love about this strategy. So I lost all my rankings for this one keyword. Boo hoo, it's all good. The beauty of having 70 posts is that there are other products that are ranked up and so I'm still getting really good traffic and potential sales for these products.

That's why the key is to keep on building. It's not hard folks to write 1-2 products per day each site. Or hell, you can write so many and schedule them!

That's why I rail against the 5-page mini-sites that folks try building. With a larger site such as the ones I teach/build, you aren't relying on a single product/page to rank. I routinely have products disappear / reappear but my overall traffic remains fairly steady because the traffic is split across many, many products.

I am very, very good at picking products with potential and I run multiple sites so where Paul has one or 2 products pulling lots of traffic, I have many products doing the same across several sites. I hardly notice a blip when traffic to a particular product disappears for a while. Since I get lots of referral traffic as well, that more than makes up for any lost rankings of specific products.

As you can see, it's important to know your niche and to keep building. I mean it when I say you can own a large, well-ranking site consisting of a hundred or so products within a month. By following the strategy that I've now taught hundreds of people, you can be one of the webmasters who looks forward to Panda updates instead of cringing at the thought of them.

I cant PM yet guys.

This system would work ok in the UK right?

@Wolf, I'll e-mail you. My box is full.

[DELETED]

I wouldn't worry about conversion stats until you hit closer to 100 clicks per day. Just a handful of clicks really isn't a big enough number to be statistically relevant.

7 clicks is definitely not enough to be able to judge anything. You need a statistically relevant number, and 7 doesn't even come close. On top of that, even with a good conversion rate you'd be getting one sale every 75 clicks or so.

That being said, 47 visitors and 7 clicks isn't bad for a couple of reviews and a few days of waiting.

100 clicks although 100 visitors should start to show you some limited stats.

Yeah I'm not even at a 100 products yet. And I'm seeing results. But I'm also working on 4 other sites.

I think I should have focused one site at a time but who knows.

Thank you for the pm Wolfmii.

Question for you both in regards to the domain name.

Would i better getting a .co.uk domain name as i will be selling in the UK?

Any benefits to it over a .com as im in the UK if UK people are searching?

Thanks

One would surmise that a .UK site residing on hosting in the UK would receive some sort of country-specific bump in the SERPS for that country.

So it would get bumped up over a USA domain if somebody from the UK searched one of my products?

Sorry about all the questions. Newb.

Thanks

That's what one would think. Someone can correct me if
I'm wrong.

Thats great Wolfmii, thank you for all the help so far. Just watched the vid on the review plugin, looks great and so does the sample site.

I am excited now and ready to start, just the funds to sort out.

I did have a question about using the same amazon tracking ID for multiple sites.

Does this matter at all? Or should a different tracking ID be used for each authority site?


Also, I've been using stat counter to track my website traffic and have noticed that some of the visitors arrive at my site without a referral link. Does this mean that they may have bookmarked my site and came back to it later?

The site I am referring to is a few months old.

Emailed Tom today with the info for my two sites. I will be taking advantage of his buy 5 get one free offer he has soon I hope. Really looking forward to starting this.

My wife is even going to do a site!

Using this strategy, you should be able to easily maintain upwards of 10 sites with just a few hours of work per day.

so im the newb around here, but Im using wolf's reviewsitesmade easy and associated methods; I opened a 'practice' website (since Im a newb) about 2-3 weeks ago and have 2 products in the top 10. No sales, but traffic is increasing and most of my items are now indexed. Looking at PPC ideas yet and other SEO to maintain. All this while having a cold one for a few hrs each night. So Im a part timer but really love the challenge. wish me luck

@smithtg11:

It's actually an enjoyable strategy. So much so that I've been able to convince my wife to take over some of it while I support my clients.

Just keep building.

Great Job! Sounds like you had some really good targeted traffic...

dam this is amazing wolfmmii how much for your strategy? i am really intrestted to hear more of it and apply it to my sites.
i have total of 6 and 2 have really been getting nice results from search engines and the others follow behind but with your tips and advise they can really move forward faster.
i am not able to pm as i dont have sufficient posts
how can we get in contact ?

I'm new as well and I've started 1 site with wilfmmiii (I hope I spelled that right). I've just scheduled my 1st 2 posts last night (for 10am today), and I plan on having 2 go live each day, 7 days each week. I'm not sure that I've picked a good domain name, so I'll try to pick better for next time, and I didn't target higher ticket items specifically, but I still think this will work. Plus, Tom is responsive to my issues (he seems to answer in the evenings) and he's been okay with my mewbie dumbness as well.

My hope is to add 1 new site each month for about 5 months. Between those, my full time job (which I'd like to "replace"), my blog and my kids, I think that's about all I can handle although I do have a couple of other things in the works.

This post has been super helpful for so many people, and it's what convinced me to purchase, actually. Maybe GGPaul should get a cut !

I was thinking for a moment - damn, I could have made $$ by offering my services and I could have gotten my dream car.

But eh - f it. When I first started, I had so many people helping me for free such as Yukon and Paulgl. Just trying to give back..
