How to Really Make Money on the Internet With an Amazon.com Affiliate Site

The sites that I see that are good at this just look so dang cheesy.

My aesthetic won’t even go for it. The closest I’ve seen to something that I don’t mind advertising with are the Google Ads, and the occasional affiliate link within a blog post. I just haven’t gotten down how to advertise and still “look decent”. Even the website names the author suggests make me go ewww…

And it’s sad. I sold an old 25 Disc changer on ebay for far above cost by making my selling page look wacky like many of the power sellers (ebay’s templates are very corny looking) Whenever I sell product on ebay with a “normal” style–it never does nearly as well.

Butttt… for any of you who are more interested in money than aesthetic integrity (or if you aren’t cursed with taste)…The above article will probably make you some nice spare change.

To their credit, the author does mention in #7:

Make it pretty. Free templates for WordPress are available at *Not That Ugly*. Choose a style you like and then tweak it to suit your tastes and the theme of your site.

so maybe nowdays, aesthetics do count for something.
