    1.I found a weght loss program to romote

    2. I make a review site

    3. I pay two people on fiverr..one to send out my ad on her fitness twitter account(60000 followers) and I pay someone to send out my ad in solo ad/email list(50000 fitness subscribers)

    Is this a good Idea? how much you think i will make?

    I am not too familiar with social signals to rank websites, but what I can tell you is that to key to smoking the Health and Fitness niche is to find a good keyword to rank for.

    The health niche is highly competitive, ESPECIALLY the weight loss category. Everyone and their mother is trying to rank for weight loss because it is so lucrative.

    Find a hole in the marketplace that no one is filling and fill it up. People looking to by weightless products have their CC's ready on hand so you don't need a huge volume of visitor to make some dough here in my opinion.

    Example: if you try to rank for the term "Weight Loss"..... good luck with that my friend. try some long tail keywords. For example: Apple sauce raisin sunshine diet

    Boom. Use the Google Keyword tool and start diggin' for gold.

    Good luck in 2014 my friend!

    Have you considered promoting via a Facebook page?

    You could either create & build a Facebook page to interact and build trust with your followers, which will in turn make your offer more palatable.

    Or you could pay someone with an established Facebook page / YouTube channel to sell your offer.

    The health scams are honestly widely known on social media, and most will delete it thinking they were hacked.

    1. pick another niche (unless you have ALOT of experience in the weight loss niche)

    2. A review site is a great idea

    3. using someone on fiverr for tweets havnt brought me a single sale (tried it several times with several different people)
    Instead of add swapps, try to build your own list. This might help you to sell more products in the same niche to the same customer.

    Not so solid, you must get more information about your advertisers list, clicks and average sales.

    I don't think anyone is able to tell you how much will you make.
    Firstly, you'll never know the quality of the followers (some might be fake accounts).
    Secondly, there is never a guarantee in paid advertising.

    However, I would suggest drilling the seller with a few questions to see if he/she has legitimate followers and has done it before.

    Alternatively, you could just pay $5 on Fiverr to do it. This can be used as a testing platform.

    All the best!

    I like the idea of having a review site. It helps if the text of the reviews keeps the readers' interest, too. If not written from own personal experience, the reviews should at least have quotes from real users in them. No fake testimonials.

    You could make nothing or you could make something. How can we possibly know when it's all guess work.

    We know nothing about the product price, we don't know how well the product sales page converts, we know nothing about how responsive the audiences are it's being sent to

    I wouldn't put much hope in this being a massively profitable venture for you. You might make a couple of sales but wouldn't count on it Twitter traffic doesn't tend to buy (not in the right buying mode) and the solo ads sold on Fiverr tend not to be high quality. Won't cost much to test though at $5 a pop.

    Either way it's a very short term plan. Then what next?

    Focus on building a unique site within a sub-niche of weight loss, creating really valuable and great content that solves a specific type of pesons problems, and offer the product as a solution. Build an email list. Give your audience REAL value and don't just see it as a means to sell them stuff.

    Revew sites are good. But a weight loss niche is a very high competition niche
    Don't count on fiverr if you want to get targeted traffic.
    Many of them gives dirt traffic or even bot. And the twitter service? i never seen a fiverr sales that have a good engagements on their Twitter account.

    If you have $40, i suggest you choose another link building services..

    Bidvertising.com has an affiliate program. Try them out and if they work, you can make a review page out of that and create revenue.

    UPDATE: Upon further review, stay away from Bidvertising.com. I'm finding not so good things about them. Use Google Adwords or Facebook. They dominate the lions share of of the PPC market.

    People are saying weight loss is competitive as if that's a bad thing. Competition is good means it's a healthy market with money to be made. All you need to do is find a sub niche or unique angle and you ca compete.

    Actually everybody try to be successful , but it is not easy to be success easily , but your idea is good and if it happen then you can run this , but keep in mind , some people generate follower with software and some people send fake follower , so if you can overcome it , then it will be great :)
