    Hey DP

    I was just approved for an amazon associate account. I am looking to expand my business into the affiliate market. Do any of you make around $500 a month or more if so any advice or methods you recommend to achieve this consistently

    I generally build "niche" stores to make it easier to overtake the competition in the search engines so that my traffic is free and in a "buying" mode. I love the wordpress plugin ReviewAzon (see my sig) to promote the products. I also use phpZon as well to populate product pages with items. They both work well. If you'd like to see some of my sites in action with this plugin, drop me a PM and I'll show ya what I'm talking about.

    Halloween, Black Friday, Christmas and New Year is coming. Build niche stores in these areas. Focus heavily on shopping time periods.

    Yes ..Christmas is the best niche at the time i think . If you set up the store at this time then it will probably rank on your keyword exact after 1 month where most of the buyers come to your site and buy their Christmas products.

    Follow all the advice given above as well as research your own niche and create a site around it.
    Most people here have their own niche that works for them so do the same.

    Good luck.

    Research on new niche and definitely you will win. And try something easy and free first and try your level best then start promoting it.

    If the compeottion in niche is less your chances to make much profit of that niche increases.

    Try to promote products of around $100 and more, so you get good commissions per sale. Promote products that have good reviews on Amazon and good shipping terms (preferably free).
