Struggles with Amazon Affiliate site

[DetectiveKenta]

Not looking for pity. Hoping someone can either learn from my mistake or give some solid advice.

I got started because of a guide on here and another subreddit I'm part of. I used flippa.com and empireflippers 'sold' listings as a way to get some ideas about a niche. I found one I liked and started writing - what I believe to be - high quality review posts.

I read through tons of reviews on Amazon about products, emailed manufacturers and brands and even scored a backlink with one. I have about 6 articles and 1 info post totaling 15k words.

My keywords have really low backlink profile based on ahrefs KD metric. It's usually lower than 8.

I know it's not a ton of content but I don't have a single conversion. In almost two months, I have less than 10 clicks on my affiliate links.

Instead of saying long way to go, you can give some advice for him.

Keep it going, try to write more articles and do a proper keyword research

Thanks for the reality check. Waiting for google to rank me exactly what I was hoping for. I need to do more legwork, period or expect no results. Appreciate that.

were you ranking on your main keyword?

 

[cham rox]

2 months is like just 2 days. Keep working on it.

 

[DetectiveKenta]

were you ranking on your main keyword?

Nope. Ahref shows that I'm not even ranking on any keywords in the top 100 positions.

Since you are writing for yourself, try guest blogging on similar blogs. You dont have to write on entirely new ideas, little thematic variation should do. But its a slow process. Be consistent.

Guest posting sounds like an awesome idea. Yesterday I sent a handful of personalized guest post request by googling my niche + guest post. I haven't got a response yet but I'll definitely keep chugging along. Being consistent is admittedly tough. I lose motivation and then it sprouts back up full force. Good advice. Thanks.

OP, don't listen to people that advice to write more content.

No need to write LOT of content. You just need to write a couple high quality contents.

Then start to promote those articles heavily.

That's a better approach.

This is solid advice and in align with my current belief in content marketing. I'm really focused on dishing out valuable content but then I look at my competitors posts and think to myself... maybe I should just babble. When I write content, I go pretty far to find good information. I.e contact manufacturers, customer service, experts in the field, etc... Many of them don't respond but I try anyway.

My next step is to someone generalize my niche into shareable content on facebook. Let's say I was reviewing power washers. It's tough to get people to share about the top 5 power washers, but maybe I could write about how clean patio can lead to a better family life. Just an idea. Thanks phoenix9.
