I DIDN'T GET ENOUGH RAPE LAST TIME, MAY I HAVE SOME MORE?
I've recently noticed a niche for a thing here in the states - companies exist in Europe that cater to it, and some big-box stores carry some of the items related to it, but there is nothing specifically for the niche here in the states, except for one site and they don't offer very much. The angle is obviously "dont have to deal with customs/buying things from euroland/get it sooner/etc". The problem is that I have to actually get the items, which isn't an issue, except I'm not sure how to go about applying to be a wholesaler to some of these places. What should I have on my site? Should I offer the product as "coming soon" or something? Just pretend like I already have the wholesale contract? I'm not sure how to go about this, but I definitely don't want to gently caress it up because it's dealing with 2-3 suppliers that would be the lifeblood of the business.

Woo hoo! First payout:


I'm using affiliate advertising along with blog content (more of a hybrid guide site and blog content mix).

A whopping... $0.51. :) But I just started the site last weekend.

The conversion rate for my first conversion is deceptively low; I was clicking my own links to see if they were linking to the correct product. If I can generate some more traffic I'll see what the user:link:purchase ratio is.

Don't click your own links, dummy!
