    Hello Guys And Gals,

    I want to start with affiliate of Amazon. I want to know one thing. Suppose I make a site about company products and write reviews on various branded products. Since I cannot write myself I will hire someone to write for me. Suppose I get written 500 reviews for 500 products and it will cost me around $1500 as I need to pay to the writers around $3 per article. So my investment will be around $1500-$1600 .Now my question is once I upload these 500 articles will there be good traffic that can make at least $500 per month from Amazon Affiliate considering I will build few links to my site and also will optimize my site properly for search engines. Someone already in amazon affiliate must be having some ideas? Hope to hear from you guys who are well experienced.


    Thanks
    hope2life
    hoping better life for everyone.

    that's a lot of money...
    if i were you, i would use the money to promote my site with ads...
    i think you can't get that fast. you have to patient and consistent...
    join forum that related with your product and post with signatures...

    or if you want high traffic with fast, promote with google adword or another...
    hope it can't help...
    keep spirit...:D

    Hey. Firstly, I would not review 500 products. Start with 10 and see how that goes. There is no guarentee that you will ever see your money again. Start small see how it goes and build from there

    I would never use adwords for traffic. That is waste of money. More pages means more traffic from google.

    500 product reviews is way too many! Start with 10 or so like previously mentioned and TEST to see which ones will make you money first.

    You guys don't understand seo. Make one page for your one amazon product. Create 499 other similar product pages and link your main amazon product page from these 499 other pages and it would boost your ranking to no.1 in google.

    oh, i see...
    i think that's right too...
    google loves consistency...
    so i think you should post 3 0r 5 article a day and promote it...
    dont post 500 article at once...
    if you do that no longer your site no.1 in google...
    CMIIW...:rolleyes:

    I start most of my sites with 2-3 reviews that I write myself and then if I start getting some traffic and clickthroughs to Amazon after a few weeks then I'll outsource some additional content creation. These Amazon sites are hit or miss so don't be surprised if quite a few of the ones you build don't perform as well as you'd like.

    I think you are too risky with a large investment. Amazon affiliate is not an easy business. My experience is also not easy to get the income up to 100 dollars per month.

    Hi,
    You need to make sure that the products you are promoting have sufficient product reviews (which means you have a hungry crowd of purchasers for that product) you also need to make sure that the product you are selling is of a reasonable dollar value as you will only receive about 4-8% of the cost of the product. Also you want to make sure it is ranking highly.
    Hope that helps
