When you first start a web based business you absolutely need every bit of help you might get to build yourself known to your potential clients. With a couple of hours work and research you might get the most famous internet business working for you. I developed this idea after reading Jay Levison and Seth Godins book Guerrilla advertising fort eh home based business.

I doesnt matter if you are selling ships or shoes or sealing wax, or even cabbages or kings, there will be books about your item. No matter what your niche Amazon will be selling books about it.

The apparent make use of of Amazon.com is to join the associate program and sell books and other goods for a commission. But a less known feature of Amazon is that you might also use it to build targeted traffic.

Heres how I did it. My niche is varietal wines, so I found the best selling half-dozen books about wine at Amazon. I then added a few of my favourites to get about ten books.

Then I used these books to contruct a So youd like to... guide in which I put some references to my Vinodiversity page .

So youd like to guides are better than listmania lists because you get more opportunity to put in some copy. Try to write some copy rather than just listing the books or other products. This will establish you as some sort of expert in your niche.

Your guide will be displayed whenever anyone searches for any of the products you include. It is important to use a few of the most popular books to get your guide in front of a larger audience.

In might case the most popular book was Wine for Dummies so I gave my piece the name So youd like to graduate from the wine dummy class a theme related title to tease viewers to have a look.

To see what I have done go to amazon.com and do a search for wine for dummies. My guide will be displayed at the left of screen.

I must say I have not had huge amounts of traffic from this source, but I have had a few useful contacts. I have also got the title of my business spread around the web more. And when you are just starting out every little bit helps.
