A few months ago while reading GoogleLady’s blog, I found out that she was starting a case study to see if she could make money out of a coupon codes blog. At the time, she was to begin with affiliate offers from Amazon.com, Buy.com and BestBuy.com if I remember well (and maybe there were a few others).
Anyway I thought about putting on a friendly contest and see who was gonna make more money. Turned out I thought Amazon’s Associate Program sucked and prefered investing time in some other projects.
Needless to say, she made a decent amount of money within 3 months (over $11,000), so I learned my lesson and I’ll shut my mouth next time!
By then I had registered some domain names and made a Wordpress template but never got the thing further. Here’s the template I started building back in late November 2007:
This idea stayed in the back of my mind for a while but lately I’ve finally decided to put it to work. I’m going to build an affiliate website and take you through the whole process as I will create as many videos as possible so you’ll be able to learn this stuff easily.
I’m gonna use basically the same rules:
- I will not spend more than $100 except for the money from the profits.
- Amazon Associates account is not really new but has no historic since I haven’t used it since I registered.
- Blog and domain names are new so I’ll start with no PageRank and no backlinks.
Stay tuned as I’ll post my game plan.
