Yeah, the trolling and mob mentality has gotten worse here. What did I get out of the mom blog post? Nothing. I got about 20 pms from people looking for free help, and turned none of them down.
I can't hang out in this thread any longer. Gotta work.
You should have known that the rich have their own trusted copywriters and don't need people who are trying to rely on free article marketing.
The ones they do contact off of marketing have bought ads and have testimonials.
When my family was ostentatiously wealthy we bought four baristas and turned them into man-servant copywriters for us and we didn't even know how to edit prose!
My teenage nephew just stopped by my office to show me what he's working on and ask for some advice. You see, he's putting together a strategic hiring plan to improve how the #6 biggest company in the world can better acquire new talent and staff.
Like you, he is an assistant manager at a fast food chain, unlike you they let him hire people
One quick idea before I move onto my main point. In Mercedes Benz sales training they point out that most people feel treating a person the way that you want to be treated is correct. This is incorrect because the elite want to be treated the way that They wish to be treated.
Yes I agree the middle class is disappearing in America, witness the fact that now most people take home food from eateries as opposed to going there to sit and eat. This allows people to save a decent amount of coin on overpriced drinks while still maintaining a modicum of a better lifestyle. And That imho is where the current huge marketing opportunity is - helping the middle class to maintain their lifestyle as it is being flushed away.
Another very good post in this thread.
Walmart and Amazon alone have allowed Americans to live a higher standard of living buy offering highly discounted items compared to previous retail options. I think we can agree they have done well for themselves with this model.
There is one more reason super high end affiliate offers doesn't exists or are very limited and virtually unknown. It's because super rich like exclusivity, skills and uniqueness. As someone mentioned already, rich love things that are limited and hard to get (preferably custom made).
Affiliate marketing doesn't fit well into this landscape, because it's from boring, artificial and "poor" mans world. It's not exciting at all, and often is toxic. Also, it's just not elegant. Presentation of the product, skills and charm of a salesperson and special treatment is what many wealthy is looking for. Internet marketing can't provided this experience. Selling $1000 eBook is doable, but selling $1000000 product without some sort of personal touch is unlikely to happen.

You could set up a travel site. Make it fucking good. Invest (heavily) into it and engineer a return on something like CharterWorld.com
A luxury travel site could work for the rich peeps if it's polished. A network like CJ has lots of luxury hotel brands you could pitch.
Go CPS for the rich peeps, not CPA.
Charterworld is fucking sick.
Sure luxury travel/yacht rental site would be a great thing. Actually investing heavily into the website is probably not necessary (with a bit of coding skills it can be done). But getting traffic to the site would be a tough game, after all it's travel niche. That being said, I have made some quick research and it is doable without huge amount of $ (talking only SEO now).
However this is not a top dollar product, I believe it's more for higher middle class and some new rich, sure.. still very fucking good money.
If I was about to look for high ticket opportunities and get into this niche (assuming I have enough of experience and resources...) I would probably contact some businesses/manufacturers directly, those who don't have affiliate programs yet but are looking for online exposure (and there are businesses like that in luxury niches).
But yachts niche is in my opinion doable (and in my range of skills and resources), it will just take more time.
I think most of the investment would be site promotion & traffic / lead gen. It probably isn't for the super-rich as you say. I sure they would probably say to one of their staff "I want a new yacht - go find a suitable company to make me one." rather than "I think I'll look on the internet to find a yacht to rent."
