Let’s break it down.
- We’ll promote an affiliate product that pays roughly at least a $25 commission. - I’m going to pick a real tangible product that is in high demand.- After looking around the product I choose is a High Definition Television.- I now look in Amazon’s bestsellers to see what is popular.- The most popular HDTVs are Samsung models roughly priced between $500 - $2000. Amazon pays a 4% commission on these so if I sold a $1000 TV I’d get $40.
Now How Do I Make Money With This?
- First I will make a quick website that I can create a price comparison page on. I want to compare at least 3 prices from around the web for the particular model I choose to promote- I join the Amazon Affiliate program and also two other affiliate programs in Commission Junction that sell this TV. These pay between $25 and $150 for each sale I generate depending on the model and the particular affiliate program.That means I need between 1-2 sales a day on average to reach my $100 a day goal - see how real this goal is becoming!!!- To get started I simply make a page that compares the three prices outlining the best price. This page is useful to visitors as they can quickly find the cheapest TV while I get paid a commission… brilliant.
Now all I need is traffic…
- I give the price comparison the title of:"Samsung LNT4661F 46 inch HDTV Price Comparison."I also fill it with lots of content about the TV to make sure I can attract lots of SE traffic.- Now I need to build links to the site to help get SE traffic. I will do this with article marketing. This is where I write an article and submit it to xxx number of directories. The articles give linkbacks to my site
This way the chance of being hit for duplicate content is less - and each article will be slightly different and therefore get higher search engine rankings for slightly different phrases.
How to write the articles for traffic
- The most important thing in an article is making sure the title contains a strong keyword phrase. See my post on this here.- I did a search for a "Samsung LNT4661F 46 inch HDTV"
Rinse and Repeat
- Each day I make a new price comparison page for a different HDTV model on my site.
- Each submission of 100 articles drives ends up a trickle of traffic (say just 10 visitors a day). - After 1 month I have had 30 submission and get 300 visitors a day. Because the traffic is so targeted and the page I drive visitors to is actually encourages people to buy from the cheapest vendor, for every 300 visits I get at least 1 sale. - That’s at the very least $50 a day - but probably
