I don’t know if I’ve mentioned this project to you guys before but I’ve always been deeply interested in the whole Amazon Niche site thing.
Why? Because it’s a model that’s always worked! It was big when I first started in Internet Marketing and it’s still pretty big now. People still make millions per year from it.
Problem is, I HATE the whole process of doing it.
Article Writing + Backlinking etc gets mega boring and I got totally burnt out last time I did it.
This time I thought I’d 100% outsource the whole project and see if I can build a decent Amazon Niche site.
So about a month ago I registered the domain name dronereviewking.com and made a quick content strategy plan, (took me 5 minutes)
Basically I was going to,
- Write 1,500 – 3,000 ‘best’ or ‘review’ type articles
- Make a 2-5 minute video for each article, (helps to rank + youtube traffic)
- Hire an SEO team to handle all the on page and off page SEO, link building, etc
That’s pretty much the whole process.
So I put the ads out for each part and got my SEO team, my article writer and my video creator,
The other day, I got my first sale!
$4.39 isn’t too bad. I chose this niche particularly because it should get me decent commission payouts per sale. I’d rather have a site making me $20-$50 per sale because the products are of high costs rather than something making me 50 cents per sale.
Anyway, I’m also ranking for some decent search terms based on my articles,
And slowly, we’re getting some traction,
From my previous experience, this is a game of consistency and patience. It’s not a ‘get rich overnight’ thing like FaceBook can be but a good Amazon niche site can make you consistent money for years.
Not to mention most sell for a decent 25 x monthly revenue multiple.
So if I can get this up to $1,000/m = $25k buyout.
$5,000/m = $125k buyout!
So it’s a cool side project 100% outsourced that has great potential.
Of course, we’re only at one sale so nothing to get too excited about but with more articles in the pipework, a great SEO team and the right process being implemented I’m pretty sure I’ll see some awesome results in the third or fourth month.
I’ve forced myself to outsource this because although it’s been on my mind for ages, I’ve just never had the time to start on it.
Yes, outsourcing isn’t cheap. I’m paying a decent amount per article and video and of course the SEO team but at the end of the day the project is moving forward and I’ve found in business, this is THE most important thing.
Time goes by very quickly and I always find myself in positions of thinking of how I should have started this or that project x years ago when I first thought about it.
I’ve committed to put a stop to this mentality. These days if I have an idea, I set aside a test budget, get a team together and set the plan in motion.
Let me know if you guys have any questions or want to see more of this stuff. I know my crowed isn’t big on Amazon niche sites so just threw this out there to test the waters. Usually I keep my side projects on the down low.

Hey Mateen,
Glad to see you jumping on Amazon Niche sites.
One thing I love about these type of niche sites is once the hard work is done say 4-8 months then you can get pretty good passive income per month without doing any work since your keywords are rank and you just need to maintain them by building few links per month. Would love to see how you outsource it , how much budget have you kept aside per month as it is in very initial stage now and probably you are spending out of your pocket building it without much returns like we get on paid traffic. Anyways Good luck if it goes well for you , I may jump on it haha I love passive income streams
Regards,
Muhammad
Yeh man passive income is the best!
Per month I spend,
$300 for 8-10 articles
$300 for an seo team
$150 for YouTube videos
So about $800/m
Nice , what is the update now? Increase in traffic , ranking and commissions?
Definitely increasing, it’s about $100/month now but is only second month. I will do an update soon.
Good to hear bro..$100 a month is a good start for a new born baby
Hope you will crush it in 2017
Do a complete series of updates, would love to follow
Thanks man, yeh I might make it a mini series once a week or something
Hi Mateen,
Great work and thanks for all the updates. Can you please tell me where you sourced your writer and video creator? I have used Upwork in the past.
And which SEO company?
All writer, video creator and SEO Team were found on upwork.
You can contact them here if you wish [email protected]
Thanks indeed. However, their site is not complete at all. Their “our services” contains that Latin quote at the top, their social icons point to the wrong links, their privacy policy and terms of use are empty and their contact has no address or any useful details. Also, their “blog” is empty and their “our story” has nothing about their story..!! I had to do a whois to find out the registrant is in Australia.
So, I figure you must know something more about them to trust them with your business :).
Never checked their site to be honest.
They bid on my project through upwork, I gave them a project, they did it well, so I continued to work with them. I deal with them directly through Skype and it’s working well for me.
This is a great article and move to join the Amazon niche site thing. It has a great venture. I wish you all the best. I will try it too. I will keep following this post. Regards
Hello,
The date on the web site post is about a year old. How has your site progressed in one year. Have you kept the same outsource team from Upwork?
Hey Robert, I sold this website for just under $1,000. I believe it generated around $50-$100 per month just before I sold.
Hello
Is the outsourcing via upwork providing a good return on investment?
Your content looks and reads well and you use videos quite nice.
Yep! There’s a lot of good writers on upwork, perfect for Amazon reviews.
