Frustrated and In a Pickle - Please Help!
Okay so, I am in a pickle (as they say). I am doing well on my site and finished level 5. Now that I am to continue blogging and writing reviews I have come to a major problem!
Not Sure What To Do
As I provide the top home exercise equipment reviews for my site I research the latest products but the issue is, the ones that I want to write a review on I cannot locate on Amazon UK as they are mostly on Amazon USA. But apparently, because I am from the UK I have to use Amazon UK. As well, it is a struggle to locate these equipment in affiliate networks and programs.
Call It Quits?
This is a major problem because if I can't write reviews it defeats my objective of the site. So, should I call it quits and start a new site? To be honest I have been researching for 3 weeks now and time is of the master. The more I delay with content the quicker and higher my ratings will go down.
Obviously, I don't want to give up but I can't help but think that I did not conduct a thorough research at the begging of selecting my niche and now I have no option but to do just that.
I need your help
So, in your opinion should I start over with a new or similar niche?
I very much appreciate any suggestions and or advice you may have.
Please comment below and I look forward to reading your comments.
Regards and thank you ,

Perhaps try a different approach - communicate with and educated your audience, talk about what your know about, you will find things to flow so much smoother. This process will benefit both you and the audience.
The more you understand your topic, the more focus you are going to have at task.
Everyone has their own way of communication, what may work well for one, may not work so well for the other - and vise versa.
Best wishes
Hi Nubian, I understand how you feel. It’s frustrating when you have a problem like that.
However, as some suggestions other members mentioned in the comment here. Amazon is not the only affiliate program. There are many other good affiliate programs in UK. You just need too google and find them.
Another option is set up Amazon Onelink. You can get commission when someone from USA or other countries in Europe make a purchase through your website.
You can check out theses blogs or trainings for details. What Do You Know? My First Amazon OneLink Sale! How To Add New Amazon Stores and Use Amazon Onelink Hope this helps.

That's my issue right there. I am unable to find these affiliate programs and the ones that I want to promote are located on Amazon USA.
I have never heard of Amazon Onelink but this certainly something that I will be using to gain extra commissikns.

Hi, I haven't used Amazon for Affiliates but I'm fairly sure you can use Amazon US for your links.
Don't give up your site if you have worked hard to build it. There is always an option for any problem.
I'm sure others on here are far more experienced with Amazon that can answer your question better - but I am sure you can use the sites.
Thank you for your encouragement and I know how reading the other comments that I should be able to do both UK and USA Amazon afilliate
Hi Nubian,
You can use the Amazon Onelink which means that your visitors can purchase from anywhere in the world.
I've not used it but I intend to. I too am from the UK and my second website promotes Amazon products so I will need to use this at some point.
Best wishes.

One Link allows you to connect both accounts and in fact multiple accounts across the globe. I set mine last night with not perceived issues. Go to .com and look up 'OneLink' for instructions.
All th best and DON'T give up.
