Its obviously not a new idea but is this an effective way to make sales? Do any of you guys make money this way? Find a product(to get keyword) with low competition good searches low pages etc Make a web page or blog well seod for that product Either get the product wholesale to sell on webpage or use something like amazon/ebay affiliates Web page should be first page of google after some work sales will follow?
I think you will have a very difficult time beating the larger ecommerce sites with your niche site. This is why people that build micro niche sites generally avoid actual products.
If the webpage is constructed good (copywriting very well), and product you can sell directly from the page (not use aff link) then yes... especially if it's a salesletter and you own product cuz then you can get traffic from google directly to salesletter and people will buy right there and then (or capture them using popover to follow up with them).
This can work. With good seo you can even outrank amazon/ebay for a specific product. But it can be hard
Of course it will work. Depends on how much you're committed to the website and i would not tell that you need to invest money to get such job done. The right techniques and strategies will make the wonder. Just as simple as that. I always use to pick up keywords which has more than 2,000 searches per month with very low competition. For an example let's say the search volume for my desired keyword is 4,000 and your page is first in Google. Out of the 4,000 let's say 50% click on your link it's like 2,000 and at least 5 -10% will eventually buy your product or the product you promote as an affiliate. This will happen only if your website is giving solution for their problem. And you can easily make $1000 with at least 100-200 potential buyers.
If you have some good keyword position related to the product then you can earn money through the affiliate marketing.
