After reading ZionIce’s journey thread, I started thinking about giving Amazon affiliate marketing another try.

I already have a few old websites with Amazon affiliate links, but this time I want to update the existing content, create fresh articles, and also build some new niche sites.

I’ll handle everything myself, from setting up the sites to creating content. I’ll probably use AI to help with content production as well.

The biggest challenge for me is still finding the right niches and keywords. Getting consistent organic traffic is always the hardest part of affiliate sites.

My Plan​

I’m not expecting huge results immediately. I’ll spend a few hours every week testing and improving things.

• Create 1 niche site every month
• Update and improve my old sites
• Publish new content consistently
• Focus mainly on organic traffic
• Track earnings and stats every month
• Try to reach $3,000/month eventually

I’m giving myself around 11 months to see what I can achieve.

If things start working, I’ll keep investing more time and build some proper authority sites.

If nothing really changes after 11 months, I’ll probably drop this side project and move on to something else.

I’ll update this thread from time to time and share the progress, results, mistakes, and lessons along the way.

Let’s see if Amazon affiliate is still worth it in 2026.

Sounds like a solid test. Curious to see how your first few months go.

 

[StephanieSmith]

Good approach. Testing it yourself is probably the best way to know if Amazon affiliate still works.

 

[jgarcia]

I like the 1 site per month goal. It keeps things realistic and manageable.

 

[Erinkelly]

Organic traffic is definitely the hardest part. Hopefully your keyword research pays off.

 

[tjohnson]

$3k/month is a big target, but 11 months gives you enough time to test different ideas.

 

[mthompson219]

Interesting challenge. I’d be interested to see which niches perform best for you.

 

[arowe798]

Updating old sites before starting everything from zero sounds like a smart move.

 

[DeborahEvans]

I think spending a few hours each week is a good way to test this without putting too much time or money into it initially.

 

[aholland5145]

The biggest thing will probably be finding niches where you can actually compete. Looking forward to seeing what keywords and topics you choose.

 

[Ruthrivera]

I like that you’re giving yourself a fixed timeframe. It’s much easier to judge the project when you have clear goals and monthly stats.

sounds good

 

[Rhonda Lane]

Amazon affiliate has definitely changed over the years, but I still think there are opportunities if you find the right niche and build useful content.

 

[Menuga Buchanan]

Starting with your existing sites could give you some useful data before putting too much effort into new domains. Interested to see the results.

 

[Chloes Bush]

Using AI for content can save a lot of time, but I think the real challenge is making the articles genuinely useful and different from all the other sites.

 

[Wandacervantes]

The $3k target is ambitious, but I like that you’re treating this as an experiment rather than expecting instant results.

 

[JenniferLam]

One site every month sounds reasonable. It should also give you enough data to figure out what is working instead of spreading yourself too thin.

 

[Terry Moore]

This sounds like a good experiment. Hope you get some good results.

 

[RonaldGray]

AI content is definitely going to make the process faster, but I think the real test will be how you make the content useful. There are already thousands of similar AI-written articles online. If you can add better information, real comparisons, useful tables, personal observations, or something different, I think your chances will be much better.
