I've recently been working with the Amazon affiliate program, pretty much started this about a month ago and now I'm starting to get some decent sales. I run a deal of the day link on my site (link at the bottom of this post if you're interested) where each day I'll highlight a number of deals I think my readers would be interested in. I hand pick 5 or 6 good items for sale, and list those with affiliate links. So far, so good. It takes me about 30 minutes a day, but I get some good feedback, returning readers and affiliate sales. -Ben Here are some examples.
Not sure if you know about this but amazon has a Today's Deals thing it could help you speed up your time looking for items to write about. It updates everyday so always gonna have something new to write about.
@Madmurphy - thanks, that's a great suggestion. I do use this tool a bit. @bess - I get about 4500k uniques a day visiting the site and an additional 1200 or so folks viewing from RSS. -Ben
