How I Made 5 Figures Without Any Backlinks

How comes ...your EMD domains even not in the 1 st and 2nd pages of searching Google result
 
Another quick tip is to keep your eye on Amazon "New Arrival" pages. If you find something you've never seen before you may have found yourself a new niche!

I remember stumbling on this hoverboard niche a while back as well, didn't do anything about it, and that was that... Made no money. Have to take action in order to make the money!
 
Great post as always hekke!

I also thought of entering the hoverboard niche since it was booming before, but I realized it a little too late when the exploding or fire hazard already came out. I'll be more alert next time for any new craze.
 
I was on WTF? when you were earning $$$ for just days on posting articles. Amazing!

Now I know, it was the long tail keyword that no one targets.
I get it.
Yes you can it is the same as launch jacking but with amazon products the niche is new.You can't rely on the keyword planner because its data is 3 months behind, so you listen to an authority in that niche.For example DR Oz talk about garcina cambogia and weight loss after that its popularity increased and CPA networks push out these types of offers all over the internet and make bank.
 
The thing with your method is (and why i personally don't like this strategy) is that those hypes in the media most of the times short lived, and before you have any authority and rankings with a niche site the hype already moved on to bigger and better things.

Still a good read though, thanks :)

Another useless pseudo method which says nothing about how to get traffic just 'various social media websites'. Getting traffic is 99% of the work and so you leave out 99% of what is important. Therefor your thread is 1% useful.
 
Great method! I've recently noticed some of our publishers using the same technique to generate some crazy sales with us.
 
Thank op ,what killed that niche was the lithium ion batteries in those hoverboards.When the charge control fails those lithuim ion batteries are fire hazard this created a lot issues with amazon so amazon banned them off their marketplace.
This is exactly how I started with Amazon as an affiliate and became successful right off the get go.

I'd be lying if I said it didn't work.
Good advice, it is true that keeping an eye on what's hot right now and then jumping on it. Nowadays trends change so quickly, a wrong word by a top celeb and it's all over the place.

Its super simple and effective. Nice Post hekke
Hekke you always have the best threads, and I can always learn something for it!

Thanks for posting, and that's a really good profit for a few months wow.
Thanks! This is an awesome guide!

Another great share Hekke.
Thank you very much for the share and inspiration . :)
I really love your posts. Thank you so much hekke, bookmarked
Never thought I would see the day that I follow Justin Bieber on twitter :eek:
Nice method, I will try this for sure
It's a awesome guide ,Keep going
Fantastic approach and congrats on your success!

THANK YOU! :) Means a lot to get this kind of feedback!

Nice post hekke. Do you outsource your content writing or you write it yourself?
This time around I had a full-time writer writing 150,000 words per month. I always outsource the writing nowadays.

How did you start to drive traffic ? With social media? Cause without any backlink it would be difficult to rank

As I said in the guide, ALL the traffic came from the low competition of the niche and all the long tails I included and "guessed" would start getting traffic, and they did. I didn't do ANYTHING other than putting up the content. Read this journey thread and you'll see it real-time: http://www.blackhatworld.com/seo/hekkes-niche-site-journey-to-200-day.792757/.

No offense and I am grateful and all that but Isnt this just about finding what is trending by reading the news and Google Trends?

Why did your site die? Couldnt you just monitise another way?
Yeah, basically, but I explained my way of targeting keywords that I didn't know had any searches and my story. Most of the media outlets started writing about how bad they were and how they are exploding, so the traffic/searches slowed down really quickly.

How comes ...your EMD domains even not in the 1 st and 2nd pages of searching Google result
I put them both in the grave shortly after the niche died.

Yeah, that's a great way to find new niches/products as well!

Great post as always hekke!

Yeah, this "technique" is all about being alert and able to take action quickly once you find one. There is only a few niches like this per day so you better be really, really alert.

Hey Hekke , last year i did the same niche and made huge cash , more than you. Unfortunately I didnot sell my site. Can you suggest me the best place to sell such sites immediately? Now I have found a new one, but dont know if this will be as big as hoverboards.
FEInternational.com or EmpireFlippers.com.

Exactly, they are doomed to die out. That's why you don't get comfortable and just see it as a "set up and drop once it dies". I don't have time to try to re-monetize and all that jazz so I rather move on onto other more stable ventures, with $xx,xxx extra in my pocket. :)

That's really Amazing !
So you hadn't used any backlinks at all ? Not even social media promotions ? How many pages/posts did you add ?
25,000 words, 0 backlinks at all. I got all the traffic from the long tails.

Hekke, great post and congratulations on your success as well as your smart instinct. Thank you very much. Was your traffic only organic from Google or have you done SMM as well? If you got traffic from Instagram, did you redirect the Instagram crawler agent? Could you have a look at my post if the redirects are correct in the .htaccess file and give me your expertise on it, please?

Thank you very much.
I only got traffic from the ranked long tails on Google. I cannot answer your question about Instagram redirects since I don't use Instagram at all.
 
Wow! When Hoverboards strarts trending I was thinking of creating a site around it. Unfortunately, I didn't! Am on the look out for new invented stuffs like this.

Thanks for sharing.

It was worth it to jump on it. I got some extra funds to invest into my other sites without any work :)
 
Thank you Hekke, another nice thread, and that's interesting to see what was your niche :)
Your previous journey gave some motivation to give it a try, and even if that's not really great, i earn 40/60 € / m (for a really small niche) and i'm trying to focus biggest niches.
 
This time around I had a full-time writer writing 150,000 words per month. I always outsource the writing nowadays.

But if you have to act quickly when something new is trending, how are you going to have enough time to find content writer, wait for them to finish, get the content over to your website. It could be days before you finally get your content.

Speaking of which, how many articles did you have and how many pages?

Thanks
 
I got in on this niche in July last year - my son asked me for one because he saw lots of Youtubers talking about them and I thought it sounded like an interesting product. Also made an easy 5 figures with no backlinks and about 15 pages of content. I'm kicking myself that I didn't work a bit harder on it, but we weren't to know that the niche would blow up like it did. I changed my links to eBay after Amazon banned them around 12th December but only made another £1000 after that. Nearly every online retailer banned them early this year. So many public places have banned them as well it'd hardly be worth buying one now.
