I’ve been a full-time affiliate marketer since leaving my corporate job in 2010.
The very first websites I created that made money as an affiliate marketer were product review sites and they’re still working for me today.
In fact, I have a set of them that have been working for me round the clock for more than 10 years.
There have been stretches of time – years, even – where I’ve neglected them and yet they have kept on earning.
They are the power house earners in my portfolio.
There’s a reason these continue to work so well and it has to do with my approach.
From my very first review I focused on writing as honest and thorough a review as I could.
There are so many reviews out there that are a waste of space because they simply rehash information without adding an element of guidance for consumers.
And that’s what consumers are really after! They want guidance. They want honesty. They want someone to say “Look, don’t waste your money on this product if you’re looking for something that does xyz.”
You CAN be that person! In fact, it is far easier to write about facts and features than it is to make stuff up!
I can (and have!) written product reviews that get tons of comments from consumers.
I’ve created websites that were linked to by top consumer sites because of their accuracy and reliability.
Best of all? Easily 95% of my product reviews were written about products I never used, never bought, and never even touched.
You don’t need to spend a ton of money to get started building a trustworthy product review site.
You just need the right strategy and I know mine works.
