    I've only sold 1 mp3 song by chance. It earned me $0.10.

    You'll have to sell a lot of mp3 downloads to make a substantial amount.

    And blogs aren't really the appropriate platform to sell them. Maybe I'm wrong, but that's how I feel.

    I can't find any links to amazon from your blog. How about hyperlinking the album images with your affiliate link and place a link after each album reviews saying "Click here to see what other people think", or something like that.

    Salam n Hola

    Here's a thought.. why don't you focus in a little bit more. Instead of blogging about MP3 downloads in general, focus on a specific artist. Blog about all the artist's album. You could probably blog about every single song in every single album. At the very least, post the lyrics. In each post link back to the song or album downloads in Amazon.

    Of course, start with one artist first, then when you've got the hang of things, build another blog on a different artist. Pretty soon, you'll have a number of running blogs on different artists, all making passive income for you.

    I have to disagree there, blogs are all about building up communities, and people love music, they also like to talk about music (note: not just any specific artist), and they always recommend music to each other.

    It's a nice idea but the competition will be difficult as it's not much of a niche, if your prepared to put in the hard work, there's a lot of money potential there, hence the competition ;), then good luck to you!

    product linking in blogspot is fine, but do not ever <iframe> an astore OR blogspot will shutdown your particular blog with astore <iframe> in blogspot.

    if im not mistaken, blogspot only allow purely blog and not affiliate linking. :confused:

    I have to agree here. You are fighting an uphill battle. People just do not buy from 3rd party sites, and especially not the way you are doing it.

    You have to focus in on a niche and run with it. As you see, music downloads pay crap. You will need thousand of them to make any real money, and to even get the minimum payout check from Amazon.

    You should also think about hosting your own blog. There is only so much you can do with blogger, and you will not be able to build a popular site and generate enough downloads to make money with a free hosted blog, especially one that is not customized tremendously.

    You need to be a little more dynamic in your approach. Competition is steep on the web, especially in music. If that is how you want to make money, you need to get serious and make something fabulous.

    Waste of money ! You will waste your money using adwords to promote music downloads on a blogger blog. What will you target? Just general music downloads ? Individual artists ? How many ?

    The competition will eat you alive, smart price you, and you will never get your ads on the first page. You are years too late, and I am just guessing, but your use of a free blogging service suggests that you are doing this in the cheap or else you would have invested some money to build your own blog.

    Why would you spend money on adwords to attempt to drive traffic to a blog that you do not own ? Also, what will you pay per click, if you can only make .10 per download ?

    You have to niche market. You cannot compete with just "Music Downloads".
    If you were to target a specific type of music, or artists, you will have a better chance of attracting readers, and therefore possible costumers.

    I have 2 niche music blogs and I may throw a download link in a post every now and then, but you will never make any money simply posting about one album, or artist a day, with a download link.

    Think about it...10 cents a download !?
