My Exact Method to Making $500 a day through Amazon (as a newbie)

[EroZioN]

I thanks you for this big and very detailed thread.

Actually making money with amazon isnt hard at all. All you have to do is get people ther, and amazon will take care of the rest. You get a percent of the entire sale you make off amazon. Once upon a time ago, I was doing reviews for a product that was over 2000 dollars and occasionally I would sell one. Ill let you do the math on the commission, but you get the point. The money is there all you have to do is drive legit traffic.

Lets say his amazon conversion rate is 2% which isnt that far fetched. He said his traffic was 4000 a day so...
4000 * .02 = 80 customers a day
lets say on average they spend 50 dollars and he hits at least 7% affiliate compensation (which is easy to do if you sell cheap stuff) just then his daily totals should be.
80 *50 = 4000 * .07= $280.00

Thats 280 dollars a day, if I made that you wouldn't see me bitching.

Do I believe the op has had some 500 dollar days, you bet your ass I do. He should be making at least 280 a day. Now for s/g lets to a monthly total for that...
$280*30 = $8400
Yearly
8400 * 12 = 100800

And bitches thats how you work from home!

pro tip for all you future amazoners sell cheap stuff and expensive stuff. Cheap stuff to get your affiliate percentage up and expensive stuff to make the money!

Thanks op for reading material, im getting back into amazon!

Also op i cant find theme link, hook it up I dont feel like coding.

This isn't a correct calculation. He has 4K visits per day, but only probably 30% of them go to amazon. So 1200 visits with $0.08 per click gives around $100 per day. So it is probably the best to add adsense, and given the CTR is 5% and EPC = 0.2 this would produce additional $40 per day. totally it is $140 per day not $280.

Great post. Well done.

I'm bumping this thread because it's genuinely helpful.

I've had my fill of "look what I got" threads, help a fella out guys.

adsense works good , especially if you have your own method.
many "big" guys in amazon buisness place text links to amazon and also add adsense in site (it will get you $$ from junk traffic , because if some one is going to buy it then he will read your review and click on text link to buy it. if some one is just searching then he may find that adsense ad good and click on it )

Looks quite detailed, will have another read through later. But yes, thanks for taking the time to share this on here, helps a lot of people get started doing what they have always wanted to.

Great post OP! May be branching out to amazon in the future, already bookmarked your thread.

 

[InsanelySane]

if you have a custom build plugin then you can use posts , but if you want to do it for a long run then use pages.
they are better in my opinion. + if you will use pages then you will be able to use posts feature as your blog.
(you will not need to create a site.com/blog every thing will be on one wp and that will be natural to use pages, because wp already provides a natural silo structure)


use longtails as subpages , big keyword as main page and keyword categories as silo pages.

widgets = main page
blue widgets = silo page
red widgets = silo page
black widgets = silo page.

something like this

Okay I understand how to silo and I understand your diagram. What I dont understand is where you are sticking the individual products? I dont know wtf a widget is besides in wordpress so Im gonna change that to chair.

Home = chair
top silo 1st tier = wooden chair
2nd tier = best wooden chair

So now where do I insert the 20 different wood chair products that I am reviewing.

ie. lardazz wooden chair x23 review, sitnow wooden chair x10 review, comfytime wooden chair x42 review.




I dont see how you can silo an amazon site with pages with all the individual products to review.

If you are assigning 1 page per 1 product review, there would be so many products the silos could be like 20 tiers deep.

Unless your assinging multiple product reviews per page but that seems limiting, as you can only target that silos keyword. Alot of potential customer search (product name + review). If you have 10 products on 1 page google might not notice all those individual product LSI terms.




The other thing I like about posts is that the categories display excerpts so the user can browse what he wants. Where as with a page he has to click each to see each product.

Posts really piss me off though, I like siloing in general

I think OP hates me

 

[rob1977]

No mate widget is the product,

Change the word widget to car and the diagram still works.

 

[jak19]

pure gold going to spemd a fewweeks going through everything in details, sure I will have a few questions for you

 

[kappa84]

This is a really good post op, thanks for sharing it. Especially the "silo" side, that sounds wicked.

Regarding whether you went to 1st product sold to $500/day in 3 weeks or not, that is more than possible (to all non-believers): few years ago I opened my first thread on moreniche regarding my first commission, which was around $23...that was when I was ranking for something like "unbiased review of x product for fat people"; once I got to page 1 for "product review" I jumped from "my first sale" to days with over $600 in commissions, days when you could get like $200 from a good Triactol sale.
My conversion rate for a popular product back then (Clear Skin Max) was like 1:2 which was amazing - did not need a lot of traffic for sales, same as with other less known products.

It is DAMN easy to jump from $20/day to $500/day in a matter of weeks.

you can create unlimited structures depending upon your needs.

+ in silo you can display subpages when a person is on main page. then you can display child pages & brother pages of page also.
(it it provide people only relevant content , they will not find any un relevant content in site.

@rschmitz and prab1996,

the acnhors in silo must stay consistent, right?
If the page KW is [wooden chairs], than all promoting pages (bla bla wooden chair review) and (la la wooden chair review) must link with anchor [wooden chairs] to this page, right?
Cause i've read recommendations to mix up the linking anchor a bit, but looking at how wikipidia(they keep silo anchor same for it's page) and it's ranking seems we should keep it consistent.

you can interlink with exact keyword (but you should not add "many" interlinks per post )
if you are adding many links per page then you can use words like "main category" "parent page" there are many Generic keywords you can use.

wikipedia is a pr9 site with own pr for pages. don't try to copy it on your pr N/A site.

[nothanksjeff]

So, create a silo site using categories, so I have cat1,2,3,4 e.g and then I build a web 2.0 property to each category and then blast with GSR?

Do you use anyway to find other links rather than the default GSR links?
Do you build any links to the actual page rather than the silo category?

mmmm yea this was what I was assuming before, however seeing the diagram I guess I can see a little more what can be done here.

wooden chairs = information/background content on wooden chairs
best wooden chairs = top 5 reviews of best wooden chairs
wooden chair reviews = 5-15 tier deep chair reviews

Siloing is definitely easier for SEO, but I still cant help but notice all of the big boys like Spencer haws, etc, etc who make amazon stores use posts.

Like you said they focus on the homepage keyword and all the posts coming up in the queries.

On your silo you can go more broad and essentially have many tough homepage like keywords to rank for. But, have you ever managed to actually rank for "chairs" or "wooden chairs"? It would be a waste pumping juice into the homepage or top tiers if they're never gonna rank, cuz they're too broad.

Its interesting and I have an idea for an amazon site to build out, not sure if I'll go with posts and pages or completely silo.

Needs more researchez

 

[rschmitz]

Nice diagrams prab. To clear up some of the confusion, as to how you would include reviews in the silo. You can still do product reviews. The title doesn't have to use the exact words, but it does need to be relevant. Here is another niche.

Home Page: Best Plasma Televisions

Silo Category 1: Best Samsung Plasma Televisions
Support Page: Samsung 2000X Plasma Television Review
Support Page: Samsung 3000X Plasma Television Review
Support Page: Best Samsung Television Remotes
Support Page: Samsung Power Adapter for Plasma Televisions

Silo Category 2: Best LG Plasma Televisions
Support Page: LG Plasma Televisions vs Samsung Plasma Televisions
Support Page: Best LG Plasma Televisions for 2014
Support Page: Top 3 LG Plasma Televisions over 40"
Support Page: LG 1000X Plasma Television Review

Silo Category 3: Best Panasonic Plasma Television
Support Page: Panasonic 2000X Review
Support Page: Panasonic 3000x Review
Support Page: Panasonic 200D Plasma Television Review

One thing to be VERY cautious of, is how many times "Plasma Television" is sprinkled everywhere, your going to be creeping towards over optimization land. So, instead of constantly using "Plasma Television", you can say "Plasma T.V.", "Plasma TV", "Plasma Display", "PDP Display". Plus, you can use the plurals "Plasma Televisions", "PDP Displays", etc. Look at all of the additional LSI keywords we can stuff into our content!

Chairs was just an example, I would NEVER attempt to rank for something that competitive. I'm just saying, you can rank for something a little more broad. You still have to do the proper keyword research to determine what that is.

BTW, I also follow Spencer Haws. Perrin admitted in his niche site round up that his on page optimization was horrible. If he had siloed his site properly, he might be ranking #1 for his main keyword, who knows? His site is ranking, but it has very precious little to do with his on site SEO.

ALSO. My support pages ARE posts! So I'm not entirely sure what your question is in that regards.

wow, this is a great and detailed guide. Thanks for the guide, I'll try to follow it.

Your going to hate me but this might be because of my limited knowledge of siloing.

To me this is what a typical silo looks like.

<----click me

If your support pages are posts then what are your top silos? Are they categories or pages?

I dont see how you can silo posts because of the category blog feed: http://www.apennyshaved.com/category/shaving-soap/

Doesnt that fuck the whole silo concept up?
