How Do You Set Up Amazon Niche Sites?

Want to learn how to set up Amazon niche sites? There’s a very simple 5-step formula that you can follow that will guarantee that almost every site you set up will be an online ATM machine!

Before I get into this formula, let me briefly explain why you want to be promoting physical products…

If you go to Amazon’s website and browse through all the many different categories, you’ll see that they have millions, and tens of millions of products, in EACH category! With that many products to base a niche site on, you’re not going to have any problems with finding something that doesn’t have a lot of competition.

Another reason you want to be promoting physical products is because the market is HUGE. In 2010 Amazon did $34 billion in sales, and that number is growing exponential each year.

A third reason is that there are a massive number of buying keywords you can target.
