Seeing (infra)red

I haven't posted too much lately because of a crazy month of April with Easter and spring and planting flowers and all of that stuff.  But I thought I'd share how our latest project has been going.  In March we worked on creating a site to sell lock picks.  I mentioned before how that didn't work out as planned.  We've actually seen some success with this site and we've made some sales but we learned that lock picks aren't that expensive so you don't make much in affiliate income. 

So, April's plan was to find a product that was expensive and would earn a considerably higher amount of affiliate income for each sale.  We considered a big ticket item like televisions but decided that the competition was too high for that.  What we finally settled on was thermal imaging equipment.  This equipment isn't cheap (actually it's more expensive than an HD tv) but there are a number of uses for it and there are many different kinds of thermal equipment.

Because we all fell behind in April, we're just finishing up our work for April so there's really no telling how successful this venture will be.  But we are bringing in traffic right now which is a good thing.  In time this will hopefully translate into sales but for now it's just eyeballs.  The first sale will be exciting because it will be worth our investment in time and money and provide proof that we're moving in the right direction.
