    Hello DP members,

    I had been building a Forex educational website for the last 4 months now. Its main role is to answer all what is and how to questions related to Forex and technical analysis (Ex. What is Forex? How to day trade the Forex market?)

    I am thinking on monetizing each article by recommending a book, course, and/or software related to each article topic. What do you think of the idea?

    Also, I was wondering wither Amazon associate program will be my best choice for books and courses?

    Regards

    Nice idea. You could sell books related to forex and currency trading and make commission on every sale!

    Even better, if someone clicks on book related to forex, but decides to buy $200 electric lawn mover, you'll still receive commission.

    Hello,

    Thank you for the replay. Right now I know that I am on the right track. Some of my articles now are already ranked on google's first page with no SEO efforts and I think I can do better if I make some link buildings for some of my articles. Do you have any recommendations for this?

    I think it could work. If you sell Kindle books, MP3's and actual Kindle's you get a higher commission. This could strongly work in your favor if you utilize it the right way.

    There are hundreds of affiliate programs that are directly dedicated to forex, e.g. they are paying you for every person who starts dealing with forex from your website.
    Books from amazon are good only as an additional monetizing way.

    Thank you for the advice . Yes I am already have a review section for brokers, signals providers, and automated trading systems and the main reason for this review section is to promote brokers, signals providers, and automated Forex systems. But I was thinking of a way I can monetize the educational articles section. And I needed to know if Amazon associate program is a good way to do it.
