Earning in Amazon for me is quite difficult, why am I not making money, what are the techniques to make money in amazon
Do you have your own unique domain name? Have you picked a niche that isn't overwhelmed by competition? For example, I don't think I've ever seen an Associate promoting Audi car parts, accessories, etc, but there's tons of that kind of stuff on Amazon. Unless you have an established site with tons of traffic, don't try to compete with the big sites by offering popular products like gaming products and designer shoes. Pick a niche where there's not a lot of competition, research it, and don't give up if you don't make ten grand a month in the first six months. Amazon is very very profitable, but only for those that don't give up and keep working and honing their sites.
Do you have a content site or a storefront? Content sites are money-makers because, with some good SEO and some good content that people will link to, they'll do well in search engines. Storefronts are more difficult to make money with because you have to pay for 95% of your traffic. Search engines don't like them very much, and users don't really like to shop using an Amazon clone. Rule 1: People go online to get something accomplished. So help them accomplish their goal, whatever it is, and recommend the products and services they'll need. For example, say you have a birdwatching site. Write an article on the best binoculars for birdwatching and recommend the best ones. Don't BS them. Your useful content will pull in free traffic from search engines, which is something stores can't do.
grgnng, how long have you been working as an affiliate with amazon? I have been working with them for about 2 weeks now and have too only been able to make only 21.93. Just keep working at it,spread an awareness of what you have to promote with amazon.Use blogs,article marketing,Join forums that allow backlinks to your webpage. Think outside the box too...youtube is powerful as well...I highly recommend to learn how to utilize the audience youtube has...because its alot.
I think the duplicate content issue is a large part of the problem. EVERYBODY (to make a sweeping generalisation) has Amazon stuff on their site, so the question is, why would someone come to YOUR site to buy? What added value are you giving that will get people linking, visiting and the SEs interested? Wish I had some good answers myself...!
How about the turnkey website are they money makers also? I got one on ebay it is now for configuration. I dont know if it will work or not?
You are right??? Earnings Summary Total items shipped = 84 Referral Rate = 6.50% Increase your referral rate to 7.00% by referring 27 more items. TOTAL EARNINGS * $158.39 I don't think your right on this one.....
Personally I just started at the beginning of the month with 1 content site I have recently switched to Amazon and I am throwing a few more up as we speak. I'd imagine people can make it with a script of some sort that will pull Amazon products but I'd also imagine the script will have to be tampered with to make the content you are pulling from Amazon look unique to the search engine spiders. This could look spammy though if not done properly and could jeperdise the domains rankings in the Google SERPs. I build my own sites, pure HTML/CSS, I always keep to the basics as I believe they have lastability in Google as compared to other scripts and sites, I am throwing a few up as of now. Not big sites, small to medium sites about a niche product/set of products that I believe will do well. The first site I switched to Amazon has made £112.49 (about $170) for the month of November with the site getting on average 80-100 unique visitors per day looking for one line of products, and I still have about 10 products that need shipping and earnings have not yet been reported. My conversion rates are good, currently at 8.5% click to sale conversion. This has got me thinking I want to switch the rest of my site slowly and monitor if the products they sell will do better on Amazon. The trick? Time and patience. You cannot go out and throw together a network of sites and hope they do well without first researching the product(s) you intend to sell. People shop around, they look for the best prices. I researched my niche and was promoting another company via Affiliate Window here in the UK, the companies conversion rates were really bad, less than 1%. Since switching to Amazon I am now over 8% as they had more to offer my niche website in terms of amount and brands of products on offer. I prefer building my sites with pure HTML/CSS and added content, adding in there a few server side includes to make adding categories or new brands to my menu easier. Also start trying to promote a blog, Google love these, and they can be further customised (Wordpress) to help with your promotion with plenty of great plugins such as All-in-one-SEO, Permalinks, Google XML Sitemaps, Sociable, etc. Remember, Google loves new content, that is key. Unfortunatly it involves a little bit more effort that throwing together an Astore. If you can provide the right products to match your content then you should start to see an increase in sales and conversions providing you have first researched and found a good niche. Keep plugging and good luck TD
Yah, i prefer to use wordpress for all of the seo benefits.... u cant just create a site and hope it makes money.... you have to promote it, bring traffic.... if u have traffic and it isnt converting, find out why and change tactics/layout/etc thats all online marketing 101.... I made $437 based simply on the orders from Black Friday.... November is rounding out at about $2800ish total for me... september was $373..... holidays are nice for the right niche..... but even making $373/month with 1 site was awesome for me.... i do zero promotion, because i get 1000 visitors/day, and 97% of them are from Google (organic traffic)
Keep walking .....Don't Give up... Did you know Edison did 2,000 experiments before success in creating a worked light bulb....?

Hi You will have to be more specific on Amazon's products. You should choose the products price between $100-$200 And you should find niche keywords as many as as possible. And the most important part is you must have big money to invest in PPC This will help you generate some sales
