Niche site progress and monetization strategy

As I said in my last post, my first niche site is finally online. Slowly the content there is starting to take shape and the site is starting to resemble a real website. Readers of this blog have probably noticed the ads on the right side and wonder if advertisements are also my strategy to generate passive income from my niche site.

I thought about it for a while and my main money making strategy there is to use affiliate links to amazon for the product my niche site is centered around (no, I will not divulge what it is, or the URL of the site just yet). I guess I still could have put ads on there too, but I felt that the ads might actually compete with my affiliate links and I'd much rather visitors click on the affiliate links than on advertisements.

In case you don't know what affiliate links are, a lot of online retailers have affiliate programs. Basically what it means is that you can register as an affiliate and start promoting any product they sell. If a sale comes from your affiliate links, you get a commission on the sale.

Pretty neat and I will discuss this in more details in a future post.
