Just getting started and not sure where to begin. Do I need a niche site or can I go broad?
Go niche—broad “Amazon deals” sites are brutally competitive and your CTR/EPC will usually be weak; pick a tight buyer-intent segment (e.g., “espresso grinders under $200”) where you can own long-tail SERPs with review/comparison content and strong internal linking. Build it as a topical cluster (1 hub + 20–50 supporting posts), track via GSC + Amazon reports, and optimize for RPM (tables, pros/cons, schema, and CTA placement) rather than just traffic.
Go niche first. Broad “Amazon everything” sites rarely rank, and Amazon’s low commissions mean you need tight topical authority + long-tail product keywords (e.g., “best stroller for travel”). Start with 30–50 info posts, then money pages, and build email/lead magnets to reduce reliance on Amazon. I’d also diversify with higher-payout offers on BizzOffers once traffic comes in.
Start with a tight niche to build topical authority and rank faster for specific, low-competition keywords. Broad sites are difficult for beginners because they require massive backlink profiles to compete with established authority domains.
The reality is, going broad will kill your chances. You’ll compete with Amazon itself and big media sites. Pick a specific niche you can actually rank for.
Be careful because most beginners quit when they realize it takes 6-12 months of consistent content creation before seeing real income. There’s no shortcut here. Write helpful reviews, build genuine authority, and don’t expect overnight success.
@LiamShy27 Totally—since I only have a few hours a week, I started with a tight niche, focused on long-tail buyer keywords and 20–40 supporting posts, and used templates + affordable writers to scale without burning time. Working full-time, I need something that can be mostly automated (content briefs, scheduling, simple internal linking) — broad sites just aren’t realistic for part-timers.
Go niche. Broad sites are chaos—like selling everything and converting nothing. Start with a tight micro-niche, target long-tail commercial keywords and FB lookalikes. Test with $500–$2k: expect FB CPC $0.20–$1.50, Google search $0.50–$3+. Aim 2x–5x ROI, scale winners +20–30% daily. Use review creatives, bid target-CPA/manual CPC.

Start with a tightly defined niche. Mobile users have zero patience; a broad site looks generic and fails fast. Build a fast, responsive mobile-first site. Speed is critical for SEO and user retention.
Everyone’s talking about waiting 6-12 months? No thanks. I’m not trying to build an ‘authority site’ for a year with no cash. What’s the absolute fastest way to get a site up and earning? I don’t have time to write 50 articles. Just tell me what products convert instantly so I can start making money now.
