Dear all, I am totally beginner in IM and affiliate bussiness and I need advices. I know some affiliate program like CJ, shareasale, and other, but don't know how to make money from them yet. I know they explain their programs already, but still confuse. So, I am thinking about ebay and amazon. Do you think being ebay partner network and amazon associates still make money today? My plan is to create a website for listing their products. Not amazon astore, really a website with my domain name.. Does people still buying from an affiliate website? For example, if I build a website selling golf ball and golf stick (ebay products), does people still buy from my site (assume my website is on 1st page of google). Thanks in advance.
It's all about dropping your cookie on as many computers as you can. If you can get plenty of traffic, and create a website that really invites people to click on eBay items - then you're half way there. Even if some kid clicks on a Nintendo DS auction, but then his mum comes along the next day and buys a sewing machine - as long as your cookie is still on their machine, you'll get a commission.
Ok, so this will be about keeping my site stay on 1st page. But for natural person, like you, if you want to buy a new camera digital and go to my site, and found an information on my site said "in assosiation with amazon", will you clik or buy from my website?
Personally, no. Because I can see an Amazon or ePN site a mile away, and I generally clear my cookies before making any online purchases. But most people don't, can't, or won't. I'm not a big fan of Amazon (purely because I haven't really used it very much) ... but if you throw enough traffic at ePN, then it's still a very worthwhile program.
OK, so I still can decide Ebay and amazon still make money.. I decide my next step is finding some niche products. Thanks Kerosene..
