Amazon Affiliate Progress

Hi Digital Forum Members

I'm going to start charting my progress once or twice a month for my UK Amazon affiliate account. I've just finished my August campaign and achieved my target of £180 with earnings of £192.50 My earnings target for September is £300 and fully expect to reach this with the amount of page one technology product links I now have in place.

That's very good Mark.
For the payment, what type of payment do you choose ?

 

Good for you. A thread like this is a great way to take accountability for your efforts. I'd love to hear from you more than once a month. Maybe post periodical your marketing strategies and then share the earnings report once per month.

 

Well I kind of have a deep question about Amazon. Can I sell ebooks on amazon. A membership site that I am in gives me PLR rights. Does that mean I could sell ebooks there. Also, I was wondering if it works the other way. If I am an affiliate with amazon can I sell ebooks in general to the public.

Thanks.

Why don't you open a new thread with this question, rather than intrude on someone else's topic?

 

Yes, you can sell ebooks on Amazon via Kindle Direct Publishing.

 

Wow congratulations!!! I made a whole $2.80 last month haha!

 

Congratulation! I'm UK aff but I've never received money from here. hehe

 

Good luck. I still have a site or two with some Amazon products, but I just wasn't able to make enough to warrant continued efforts. The commissions were just too minimal.

 

Direct payment for UK program and a cheque for the US program.

I plan on showing a screenshot twice a month and my marketing strategies for Amazon are very basic and I plan on using the same methodology for CJ, Tradeboubler, Affiliate Window....... in 2012.

------- Amazon Approach --------

~ Products Approx. £100 - £350
~ Four out of Five Stars
~ Recent Positive Feedback
~ Use Free Google Keyword Tool
~ Keyword Phrases Low Competition or Limited Data
~ Create a Content Page with Keywords
~ Upload the new page and Ping it

I previously chased keywords which had medium and high competition, but found this to be a waste of time, as it's better to be on page one on Google for a product which is reasonably popular than on page two or three for a very popular item. Don't be greedy look for little openings and create pages and affiliate links for them and get them indexed at the earliest opportunity. This like many other ventures is a numbers game and whoever creates the most links with relevant products usually makes the most sales.

Find an approach which suits you in any of your online ventures and once it gives you a reasonable income ~ Rinse and Repeat ~

Great work! Are you going to discuss anywhere your methods of promoting Amazon?

 

Wow! Mark! another informative and inspiring post from you. I have not made new sale yet..

 

If you keeping plugging away then, the sales will come. Avoid using banners on your product pages, copy and paste the product images and make it clickable with your affiliate link and keep the info clear and straight to the point with a polite call to action at the bottom.

The thing you have to do which is the most tedious is keyword research and I spend about 40 minutes a day researching various technology products using the free Google keyword tool. If you get this part right then, you'll be well on your way to achieving healthy sales through Amazon.

Best of Luck

Oh.. Will remove my amazon skyscraper then? thanks for the photo part. I have done it before but stopped. Will do it again. I am using the google keyword tool already and known some awesome features of it.. Hope I can make affiliate marketing a success.. "let's roll -optimus"

 

great , I think this is only a beginning , more progress we are waiting...

 

Thanks for the thread Mark, will follow with interest. Are you doing one site with many products following your criteria or single sites for each product found, also what do you do to generate traffic to your sites?

 

Keyword research for technology products between £100 - £350 in the Amazon UK affiliate market using the free Google keyword tool.

I meant where does your traffic come from?..mainly Google?

 

Google and it's the only search engine I bother with.
