Ideas for mainstream review site?
 

I'm thinking of making some mainstream review sites, does anyone have any good suggestions on what I should review that would make good sales?

Video games
Fat Loss products
Electronics/Computer hardware
Computer Software

Nice list, fat loss products is one I was thinking of before hand as so many people these days are into the whole fitness and looking good thing.

Cell phones, was thinking of making one myself.

think of what you are going to get the most $$ off of. video games and electronics usually only give a very small amount.

Fat loss products are good, id also check out things like hotels, travel/vacations, etc. People always look up reviews on shit they buy so can be basically anything

I don't see much money in any of that, except the fat loss.

I would go with big items. You might not sell many, but when you get a sale, your cut will be huge. I've been working on a couple mainstream projects and my cut on sales is $125-500. Not rich yet, but long-term I think it's a better route.

If you're doing a review site, I assume you're doing Amazon. In that case, electronics pay terrible commissions. I suggest doing high ticket items - maybe watches, designer clothes, or something like that. I have a few websites selling power racks that do really well. ~20-50 per sale.

Do something high end.

Is that $125-500 per sale?

Who's paying you that per sale?

Yes, per sale. I don't use those big networks, I work out deals with product/service owners.

What I would suggest is... build a site around a product, idea, service, anything like that... build up your traffic, create your own quality leads and your own "company" in itself. Then you take your leads/sales and push them off on whoever will pay you the most money.

gambling sites ;)

How long did it take you to work out deals with these product/service owners?

If you're monetizing it via adsense, find a high paying niche then do reviews based on those.

Couple phone calls. It helps if you have a genuine interest in the product/service.

You can get $150+ selling Amazon products too and I know some people do, but you'll have to stick to the expensive items only; gadgets, etc. you make crumbs, but if you sell enough, it adds up

We have lots of health/beauty offers in our affiliate program, and we pay 30-50% per sale.

Along with our best-selling male and female sexual enhancement products, we also have products for anti-aging, wrinkles, stretch marks, hair loss, weight loss and other niches.

Review what you know about. It will show if you do not know your product.

Amazon will get you $100 per sale on HDTV's...

I have had it happen where someone does this:

Buys HDTV - payout $120
blue ray DVD player - $18
5 DVD's - $12
coffee cup - $1
4 books - $3
--------------------
$153

Helps if you are interested in what you review. Usually people with review sites don't actually experience the thing they are reviewing either. It's hard to do a real review of vacations/hotels etc.

I plan on writing the reviews from personal experience or from the experience of friends and family. I know quite a lot about the fitness/health department so I could start there.

Amazon sounds good but I would have to set my targets on the higher priced products like tv's and other expensive electronics. I have a fair few electronics but I would definitely need help writing reviews for the differn't tv's.
