Starting an Amazon affiliate niche site is one of the most foolproof ways to generate some excellent passive income. It is excellent for all kinds of people, be it a student looking to make a part-time income from the internet or someone looking to become a full-time internet entrepreneur. One of the best part about these sites is that they often generate income for a long time lasting even several years with hardly any sort of work required on your part. Yes, you can simply create, set it up and literally sit back and watch the money flow into your bank account. These sites are that good and Amazon is one of the most reliable companies to generate sales for. However, before you get started with creating an Amazon affiliate niche site, there are a few things that you definitely need to do. The two most important things are niche selection and keyword research (if you don’t want to do keyword research yourself, the best thing for you to do is try these out) – now let’s dive in a little deeper.
Niche Selection
It is important to keep in mind that just like every other field of business, Amazon affiliate niche sites are also extremely competitive. There are literally thousands of affiliate sites that already review the millions of products that are found on Amazon. This means that the products that you are looking to review and make money out of have probably been already excellently reviewed by someone else. This makes it vital for you to identify a good niche that has a healthy volume of monthly searches while being less competitive at the same time. Only such niche will bring in the type of revenue that can justify the costs and efforts involved in creating an Amazon affiliate niche site. A good way to identify such niches is to explore Amazon’s full store directory and hunt for products that have high value and also sell considerably well, while at the same time have not been reviewed by many similar affiliate sites. To identify other affiliate sites, you can simply google the main keyword related to that niche and see how many of them link to Amazon.
Keyword Research
Keyword research is one of the most important aspects of SEO that definitely needs to be done before creating your Amazon affiliate niche site. This is because only with keyword research will we come to know what people are actually looking to buy and also what their queries, apprehensions, etc. are about buying those products online without being able to try it first. These are the points that you need to address when you write your reviews of the products on your affiliate sites. Once you address these issues directly, not only will you help your site’s visitors with their queries but you will also help rank your site at the top for a lot of search keywords, which in turn will drive even more traffic to your site, thus leading to more sales for Amazon and more money paid out as affiliate commission to you!
