Hi, I have been reading this thread for 3 months or more, and I used it to build CB sites in spanish niche. I got just 6 sales in about 2 months, and I have another amazon niche site where I got about 180$ in affiliate sales already. Consider that spanish people are not fond of using cc and it is a lot harder to sell. I am not a fan of manual work, but it is worth it,if you are consistent and write good opinions where you post, you will be rewarded.
A while ago(about 5 years ago) I used to sell flags and my girlfriend used to write comments in forums, yahoo answers and blogs. I was making consistent money every month and I even received organic traffic as a result. However, prices went up and could not sell them anymore, but the idea was the same as this, and I can tell everyone that it works.
I suggest everyone to take the time to make a good site and work on the content, graphics, open social accounts, and structure well your categories before you send traffic, because you will be wasting a lot of time if you dont. And take a look at silos and how to get your site structure in a way the search engines feel familiar with.
Thanks meathead and freddy. I would love to chat sometime with either of you. And freddy, I would love to advertise your product once I finish the others I have in mind.
