Solution: Introducing Search Best Sellers

Inspired by his own experiences and driven to help people “Shop Happy” while reducing waste from low-quality products, Michael founded Search Best Sellers. This innovative shopping tool aimed to provide easy access to the hidden world of Amazon Best Sellers and empower shoppers with valuable information.

Developing the Shopping Tool

Creating the Google Play store app, Chrome extension, and visual identity for Search Best Sellers proved to be a significant undertaking. The application needed to evolve continuously to meet user demands and incorporate monetization strategies. One unique aspect of the app was its ironic monetization model, leveraging Amazon affiliate revenue to sustain itself.

Country-Specific Search Options and Publicity

To enhance the usability of Search Best Sellers, country-specific search options were incorporated, allowing shoppers to access best-selling products in their respective regions. Additionally, the tool gained recognition and publicity through media platforms like Lifehacker, further expanding its user base.

Results and Impact

Search Best Sellers has made significant strides since its inception. The shopping tool has generated over $7,000 in passive affiliate revenue through more than 300,000 search queries by over 50,000 shoppers. This impressive revenue stream has ensured the sustainable operation of Search Best Sellers.

The Widget Generator: Empowering Affiliate Marketers

Continuing to innovate, Search Best Sellers recently introduced a “widget generator” feature. This tool allows affiliate marketers to create their own embeddable version of the search engine, enabling them to generate revenue through affiliate partnerships. This expansion not only benefits affiliate marketers but also amplifies the reach and impact of Search Best Sellers.
