Hello Amazon Affiliate - Your life is about to get a lot easier and more profitable!
Are you as tired as I was of searching through Amazon looking for great
products and niches?
Are you fed up with taking the hours that it really takes to sort the wheat from the chaff to have any chance of affiliate success?
Would you like to be handed a 'super-affiliate' list of the most golden
products that are on Amazon right now - without your having to do a single
second of research?
If you answered yes to any of those questions, please read this entire page. It is quite short, but it could be the single most valuable webpage you'll come across in a very long time...
And
it can be incredibly boring too.
One of the staples of Internet marketing these days is Amazon. They are a vast department store selling millions of products and every single one of them offers you and me the opportunity to make money.
Amazon's affiliate program can truly be a license to print money but - and there is always a but - finding the right products to promote can be a difficult business, even for seasoned affiliate marketing experts.
You see, not all Amazon products are created equal.
There are many courses, videos and ebooks that teach how to make money from Amazon. Many of them are very good and give a lot of detail on how to pick winning products to promote. However, almost all of them - the honest ones at least - stress that selecting the products you will promote is a task that you must spend time and effort on.
It isn't that finding the golden nuggets that are hiding in plain sight in Amazon's marketplace is particularly difficult - it is just that Amazon don't make it particularly easy. Some of the information we need is easily accessed, but other vital data is hidden away, requiring you to delve deeply. Very deeply.
It can easily take 45 minutes or an hour to find just one 'golden' product in just one of Amazon's departments. But even after all that work you have the nagging question that maybe there was a better one in a department you hadn't picked!
Up until now the only way to find out was to put in the long tedious hours of hard, brain-numbing and eye-straining work.
As a successful Amazon affiliate I have spent far too long trawling their marketplace looking for treasure, and even with years of experience have often come up empty. It is a part of being an Amazon affiliate, but not a part that I enjoy or care to waste any more time on than absolutely necessary.
But then inspiration struck. It suddenly dawned on me that I could write a computer program to do a huge amount of the work for me.
So I set to it and wrote a script that applied my own personal formula for finding hot products to promote. It analyses literally thousands upon thousands of products on Amazon - in 23 different departments - and measures them against the checklist that I, and many other Amazon super affiliates use.
The product price must be $150 or more. With commission levels of between 4% and 8% we need our 'lead' products to offer a healthy return for our efforts.
The discount that Amazon are offering compared to the product's original list price should be at least 25%. This, in my view, is important because our websites have to have a clear reason for people to click on our affiliate link. A demonstrably good price is one clear way of signaling that.
The selected product must be high on Amazon's 'popularity' listing. Current popularity means that there is a real - and hopefully large - interest. In the end we will need to get traffic from search engines and a high popularity product is one indicator that our job will be easier.
The Amazon star rating should be 4.5 or more. That's easier said than done because Amazon do not make that information easy to find. They show a graphic, but hide the actual star rating deep in the code of their site. In my view this is one of the most vital pieces of the puzzle, but very few affiliates can make use of it.
The number of reviews that customers have written. I generally dismiss products that have fewer than ten reviews because we need to read what others have to say to be able to write effective content for our own affiliate pages.Finding, and assessing all that for just one product is hard enough, but Amazon have millions! That's why I liken it to mining for gold. You have to sift through tons of useless rock to find those elusive - and incredibly valuable - golden nuggets.
As
we said in the headline at the top of the page, Amazon's hidden treasures are
handed to you on a golden plate. It is like you actually found the golden goose!
Every week the program runs and produces a brand new report with the products that my proven selection formula considers will offer you the very best chance of Amazon affiliate success.
This truly is niche and product selection made simple.
The reports change each week as new products make it on to the list and others fall away. The Amazon marketplace is ever-changing and dynamic, so a product that failed to make our Golden Nuggets list one week may have had more reviews written, or a new price that now makes it shine through.
Here are a random selection of three products that the program has uncovered (out of 358 on the latest Golden Nuggets list)



Without access to the Amazing Gold Mine lists you would never know
about these gems!
But they are each potentially excellent money-spinners.
Ka-Ching!
Members of Amazing Gold Mine will be able to download the latest Golden Nuggets list - delivered in both raw .csv as well as formatted .xls formats so it can be easily opened in any spreadsheet program such as Excel or Open Office - every Saturday morning. Ready for you to pick your latest money-spinners!
Having created the program that pans for gold in the Amazon product river, I went a step further and programmed a second script that creates a completely different list.
While the Golden Nuggets list is about finding high-priced products that meet our affiliate marketing criteria, the Bargain Basement list goes out looking for incredible bargains. And finds them by the hundreds. The selection criteria here are somewhat different...
Every product listed must be on sale at an 80% discount or better. You'd be amazed at how many incredible products are being sold off for pennies on the dollar.
As with the Golden Nuggets list, the Bargain Basement products must rank high in Amazon's popularity rating.
Our aim is to select products that people are eager to buy.
The
minimum star rating is set at 3.5 - again, difficult to ascertain without
programming knowledge, but
The number of reviews must be at least 5 - we don't need as many reviews as we do for the Golden products, but some degree of feedback is still necessary.Put all that together and once a week - on a Wednesday - a new Bargain Basement list of incredible bargains is posted to the site for members to download (also in .csv and .xls format). Typically each week's list will contain 600+ entries.
Now in all honesty I have to admit that Amazon sometimes makes mistakes and there are occasionally products that crop up on the Bargain Basement list that shouldn't be there - for example, in current list there is a pack of 4 Duracell batteries for which Amazon show a list price of $773.95 and a discount of 98.7%! (It is product number B000K2NW08 if you feel like looking it up). No program can eliminate such errors but the many real bargains that it finds more than make up for the few bloopers.
Here are three randomly chosen items from the 612 on the latest Bargain Basement list to give you a feeling for the amazing genuine deals that are to be found:



Deals that would take you a huge amount of time to uncover manually - if you could even find them and assess them at all!
Create a special offers store.
Maybe you have a website built around the 'watches' niche that showcases some of
the top priced products, but you can often cream off some nice extra commissions
by showing some 'bargains of the week' to tempt browsers with shallower pockets.
Use the ultra cheap products - which virtually sell themselves - to increase your product sales volume. The more individual items you sell on Amazon, no matter what they cost, the higher your overall commission rate will be. And that's the way to make your
Golden Nuggets products even more profitable!
Snag those bargains for yourself! With around 600 items to choose from each week you can easily save many times your membership fee.
Practically nothing!
The real question is what it is worth? What price can you put on hours and hours of your time? What value could you place on being handed the keys to the gold mine? How much can you make by unearthing the hidden treasure of Amazon instantly and effortlessly?
The answer, of course, is personal to you. I know how valuable it is for me but you'll have to decide if such a service is something you can use and profit from.
To make that decision as easy as possible I have decided to set the monthly subscription fee at the incredibly low, no- brainer rate of just $12.97 per month. That works out to less than $3.00 a week. And remember - for that you get both the Golden Nuggets list every Saturday and the Bargain Basement list every Wednesday.
When I think of the hundreds of hours I must have spent over the years searching through Amazon to find products to sell I almost weep for all that wasted time, lost energy and untapped commissions. If only I had Amazing Gold Mine before I would have way more sites out there making money - and they would have taken a fraction of the time to research and set up.
