I am not allowed to do Amazon for a while

    Hi, everyone, I know that I was never the largest Poster here but I still get PMs on a daily basis from folks looking for help on Amazon.

    At my peak, I had a few thousand Amazon sites and about 10% of them were making between $2 to $15 per day. The rest were total failures. Earlier this year, many of you know that my partner in Amazon, my father passed away. Working with him was a way for me to spend as much time with him as I could before he passed. We spent 2 years doing this, working long hours, and had some good times and made a sh!@ load of money.

    One of the last things he was working on was a deal with a fairly large private marketing company to buy all of our sites for "the big payday" he did not live to see that happen but I continued with negotiations and sold all of my sites in one lump sum that will pretty much assure that my mother doesn't have to worry about money for the rest of her life (hopefully).

    The reason that I am posting this message is to inform all of that although I would love to help you in any way I can, I am under a fairly strict non-compete clause in the contract from the sale that prohibits me from directly or indirectly competing with their Amazon endeavors for the period of 3 years. There's about 2 1/2 left.

    So, I can't use my Amazon account and if any money happens to go into it, I have to send it to them. I cannot promote amazon products and unfortunately I cannot help others promote by rendering services or advice that has anything to do with Amazon.

    I appreciate getting PMs, but I think it would be better for me to put up a post rather than constantly send the same PM over and over again.

    Good Luck in all of your Amazon Adventures and I wish you all great success!!!!

    Out everything that I have done on the internet, Amazon was by far the most profitable (even if the black hat stuff is more fun ;) )

    Sorry to hear about your father. I know how it feels to be the bread winner for the family. Be strong for your mother and good luck for another source of income :)

    Sorry to hear about your father. I guess then you can't even use what you have in your signature now.

    Hi sorry to hear about your father.
    A question though please - what platform did you use for your sites i.e. blogs or paid hosting sites and how did you drive traffic to that amount of sites - impressive.
