Passive Income

Many newbie internet marketers are under the erroneous belief that the best way for them to make money online is to sell informational products. Vendors such as Clickbank and Patdotcom are just a few of the great affiliate sites that boast HUGE sales and multimillion dollar affiliates (Mark Ling of Affilorama and Brian Johnson of Commission Ritual fame quickly come to mind). While it is true that you can make a few sales as a newbie on these sites, it is extremely difficult since, as a newbie, you are unknown in the industry, do not have a huge list and are typically trying to sell a product that you have never even reviewed.

A better, more effective, method would be to sell physical products on small, niche type websites.

By selling physical products on Amazon, you are tapping into a massive market of ready-to-buy people. These are the types of people that have their credit cards in hand, ready to plug the trigger once they find what they are looking for.

During the Christmas season, I created four niche sites. I followed the SEO techniques found in Commission Ritual and had some really amazing results. The sites are not masterpieces either. Not by any stretch of the imagination! They are simple one to five page mini sites that promote one specific product. For example, a nice Christmas niche would be to sell Christmas trees. Unfortunately, that market would be extremely competitive. So why not dig a bit deeper.

I have a few friends who buy everything in pink. Heading over the the google adwords tool (I actually use Micro Niche Finder since it is so much easier), you will find that the term “pink christmas tree” was searched for 40,000 times (broad type) in December. Why not try and buy a domain name such as pinkchristmastree.com (not available and not mine – but I wish it was). With just a small amount of SEO work you could easily crack the top 10 spots on Google and would almost certainly sell enough pink trees to cover the cost of a domain name.

You could do this for almost any niche or season. Brian Johnson has made a name for himself selling Halloween costumes. I have personally purchased over 50 Halloween domain names to try and capitalize on this PROFITABLE NICHE MARKET. If each of these sites make just $50 during September and October, I will pocket a profit of around $2,500. Each site takes me about 2 hours to complete from start to finish. If I complete all 50 sites I would have invested 100 hours and $375 on domain names. This leaves me a profit of $2,125 or $21.25 per hour. The cool thing is once these things are set up, they will continue to earn passive income for me each and every year.

If you have no idea how to harness the power of Amazon, I highly recommend that you check Amazon Riches Revealed. It pretty much covers everything you will need from picking profitable niches to getting traffic to maximizing your time and energy to put more money in your pocket. If you do not want to buy anything else, shoot me an email and I will try and answer whatever questions I can!
