Sell High-Ticket Amazon Products
Normally I don’t promote products
with small margins.
But, Amazon.com is the exception
to that rule!
While their affiliate
commission rates starts
at 4% and caps out at 8.5%; you
can make good money by promoting
their products.
You do this by building niche
Amazon affiliate websites. The commission rates aren’t that high. But there is a potential to make a huge profit
if you can generate a lot of web traffic.
What you want to do is look for “buying keywords” people use to find specific products. These are people who are ready to make a purchase
right now, but need
a little more information. They come to your website
and read the “presell” information. YOUR job is to redirect them to Amazon
where they’ll purchase the item and you get a sales commission.
My “sweet spot”
for Amazon products is the $50 to $200 price range. This is a price point where customers generally
make quick purchasing decisions, while also giving YOU a solid commission.
The best overview
of this process
is Chris Guthrie’s course on Amazon Niche Profits. {affiliate link}
He’s done really well with Amazon products – Making over six-figures a year
from these sites. The trick
I’ve learned is to follow a proven system.
I like Chris’s product because
he gives step-by-step detail; without
a lot of fluff.
Overall, I think there
is an amazing potential with Amazon. I think it’s going to be bigger than Wal-Mart!
Promoting products from this site can give you another
nice source of affiliate revenue.
Offer Low-Ticket Amazon Products
Okay its math time!
Imagine two scenarios:
In the first you sell 100 Amazon products
priced at $100. According to Amazon’s referral
rate chart; you’d
get a 6.5% commission which means you’ve earned $650.
In the second,
you sell the same amount of products at the same price. Instead of the 6.5% commission rate,
your earnings are at 8.5%.
That’s a total of $850! So basically you’ve
earned an extra $200 for the same amount of effort!
Well, Amazon has a sliding
scale when it comes to their commission rates. It caps out if you sell over 3131 products
in a single month:
So
you’re probably wondering: “How do I sell 3131 products in a single month?”
It’s not that hard if you build sites that sell a lot of little things. Like Kindle
eBooks, cell phone covers, and low-cost toys.
This technique is an untapped market.
Your average Amazon affiliate marketer
goes after the big bucks.
But you can actually make good money
by going after a volume
of small niche sites.
If you’re serious
about building Amazon sites then I recommend creating income streams where you promote both large and small ticket
items.
