How We Added $2,000/month to Our Revenue With a Few Emails

How We Added $2,000/month to Our Revenue With a Few Emails

We know, this title sounds like clickbait bullshit, but we’re being honest! Within the past 6 months we’ve successfully used this technique to add between $1,500 and $2,000/mo in easy revenue on two different niche affiliate sites we owned (one has since been sold).

What we did is really one of the oldest money making methods in the book, but most niche site owners either neglect it entirely or assume it just plain won’t work for them. We’re talking about selling direct advertising packages, with a few kickers for the modern era.

If you want to skip to the good stuff, hop down to “Case Study 1” and “Case Study 2”!

What Are These “Direct Ad Packages”?

We’re defining this phrase to mean a bundle of advertising or promotional content that you sell directly to a business – most likely a manufacturer for a product in your niche.

We have included some of the following in our promotional packages –

  • One sidebar ad, no direct competitor ads to be displayed on the sidebar.
  • A small banner below the navigation menu inviting users to look at a product review hosted on our website.
  • A call out on a ranking table to tag their product as “Popular” or “Trending”.
  • Being locked in as the “most recommended” product for the duration of the deal*

*This may be considered a moral grey area for some people. Personally, we only attempt deals with businesses that are in the top tier of their industry so we are never being deceptive with our rankings. Doing such would give your site a bad reputation over the long-run, so it’s really not worthwhile.

Also, be sure to read over the FTC guidelines as they say you need to disclose you have received a payment from the company. Usually something like “We have received compensation from Acme Inc in exchange for sharing our honest review with our audience” is sufficient.

MerchPy – Merch By Amazon Automation Script

MerchPy – Merch By Amazon Automation Script

Dec 10th, 2017 Update: This code is no longer being maintained. We have found Amazon Merch is no longer worth our time and we are focusing on other projects. Amazon also often makes small changes to the upload process that breaks the script, making it a nightmare to maintain. The code will remain open source and available for anyone to take over and tweak, but that won’t be us any longer.

Sept 15th, 2017 Update: Amazon recently made a slight tweak to their Merch pages that broke the existing uploader. You can download the latest version of Merchpy which has fixed this issue.

Uploading shirts to Merch By Amazon is a giant pain in the ass and a tedious manual process. I set out to automate as much of the process as possible so that either a.) much of the work could be outsourced without having to hand over your Amazon credentials to someone or at least b.) all of the button pressing on the website could be automated.

The result is something I’m calling MerchPy. I made this for myself and figured others could benefit from it as well, so I’m releasing it for free, open source, with no warranty or guarantee that this will work for you as well.

MerchPy is a rather quickly hacked-together Python script that automates much of the Merch upload process. The script relies on you entering all the shirt upload information into a .CSV file, which it then uses to fill out the forms on the Merch website as it navigates the pages.
