Build up your blog with reviews and earn money from Amazon affiliates

If you are one of many of the review writers on consumer sites such as dooyoo and ciao, then you may be overlooking a very simple and straightforward source of income. Cross posting has probably become a nice little earner for you but there's an additional way of earning more.

Here is the lowdown on what to do:

1/ Choose your niche - French films, Sony electronics, old computer games, books of a certain genre.. it can be anything.

2/Title your blog appropriately - both the title and the url should bear some resemblance to the topic.

3/Use an interesting template for blogger from btemplates.com

4/Begin writing posts designed around your site and then re-post them on review sites. Try to do at least one a day, preferably a few more.

5/Add adsense to the blog

6/Sign up as an amazon affiliate and begin including advertising links to the product you or reviewing, above, below or to the side of your review. They pay 10% of sales that come through your site and if you have enough traffic, this can soon mount up.

7/Treat the blog as your baby - do everything in your capabilities to fill it up with good unique content and gain traffic. Put thought in to your niche, layout and content.
