Goldenscape.com - Prints : Posters : Photos : Frames
Not everyone has the budget to buy an original or high-cost artwork. Many are just looking for something at a low cost to decorate their homes or offices; or simply a poster of their favorite star or hero. The entire database of Art.com has been implemented on the site using a custom developed PHP script and MySQL database. While all pages - thousands of them - are generated on the site itself as static URLs for search engine indexing, the Buy Now link is integrated with the site's affiliate code. Any order that materializes will generate commission between 25% - 30%.
Storing of data locally not only significantly speeds up the search and browsing, it also creates thousands of pages on the site which can be indexed by search engines. Each page has a context based title with the potential of generating targeted traffic. Clicks and earnings stats can be checked anytime at the Art.com site.
You must, of course, promote the site in the search engines for which onsite optimization has already been done. Your efforts should be directed towards offsite optimization which would involve acquiring links from web directories and other websites. You could, if so wish, consider pay-per-click advertisements.
The average price of a print or poster works out around $15.00 and at 25% commission will bring in $3.75 per item sold. If framing is added then the order can shoot up to between $50 - $100. If you sell just 100 bare prints-posters in a month, you will make $375; 250 bare prints-posters will bring in $937.50; 500 bare prints-posters will bring in $1875; 1000 bare prints-posters will bring in $3750; so on and so forth. Note that this earning is without any overhead - except marketing which is totally upto you - on your part. All you pay is for hosting and renewal of the domain name. You can make your own calculation of commission considering the probability that only 10% of the orders would be with framing.
