I hardly earn 300 dollar a month.. I am looking around some good threads on DP forum to increase my earnings.
I haven't even tried with making money with Amazon in a while the last time I did it was like $20 and idk how I did that lol
how much work did you guys put into promoting amazon? I am also a member of amazon affiliate for like years but did my first sale by luck just last June. This August I will try to spend more effort in promoting amazon and lets see what will be the result.
You should never give up with Amazon. I was in a similar predicament only three months ago and changed a few things and now there's hardly a day that goes past without a sale being added to my orders and earning report. There are still little golden nuggets to be found with this website, it just takes time to find a strategy which suits you. Mark
For me, Amazon is a fickle beast that can do well one month and absolutely squat for six months. My best performanance is the holiday season, but never made over $30 in a single month.
The best advice that I've found that actually works is the placement of your Amazon ads can really make a difference. A second point is do NOT use Amazon's pre-canned widgets and what not. Any real earnings from Amazon will come by building your own product/ad layout from scratch using Amazon's API. Remember, you'll make the first sale with Amazon, but the second and on, the visitor will most likely go straight to Amazon thus cutting you off at the knees. Amazon has a horrible reputation for running over their affiliates and cutting them off at the knees. The only way to prevent this is to bury Amazon branding completely. The visitor has to see your branding, not Amazon's.
If you hit the right niche and have a good, solid layout, Amazon will do well. But it does require a lot of work to get it off the ground.
I run 34 sites and the combined total last month was $714! As soon as August came literally ALL my sales dropped off. This time last month I had $540 in commission, by this month its $59?? I've noticed this happen month after month. One amazing month, then the following month drops right off, followed by another high paying month, then dropping off again. Very annoying! Overal though the high paying month do increase each time so it is working...only took me a year to get here but hey!
