I have an online store where I physically sell stuff that I've ran out of time/motivation to continue for a while so rather than close it down I am going to move it to an amazon affiliate store (currently have two stores, one is busy, the other isn't, its the quiet one I'm referring to here). It'll be a WooCommerce based site with decent theme, categories and products in a niche. There will also be lots of regular content about the niche as it's easy for me to write about as I have another business/interest in this area(s) I plan to use something like Prosociate to add all the Amazon products, so technically it should be fairly easy to set up within a few hours. Then just add content as I go...

There are a lot of people making decent money via commissions be it YouTube (look at Supercars of London, the guy cracks me up but he's bought an R8 with youtube money - although admittedly I'd probably have an R8 now if I still lived at home wink ) and Shmee must make a bit (although I believe his wealth comes from other sources, business or something or other) and there are lots of people making commissions from blogs. I have an affiliate of my main site who links to my products and he makes a fair bit of cash from me for each article he posts! So would it be that hard for a few sites in a tight niche to make £50 or so a month with no real effort post start up?

Just curious if anyone here does it, do you make any money? Once I get the sites live I'll update if I actually make any money, as I say, I'm not naive and don't hold much hope for this "project" but I do have proper plans for all of these domains when I get the time, for now if an amazon site starts the ball rolling with traffic/links in google etc then at least I'm not starting from scratch when I add my own self-fulfiled products later down the line.
