    Hi

    After reading through the amazon section of this forum for a while I have not liked the look of what has been said about the program, however I like a challenge and built a site anyway.

    I have not promoted the site and haven't even got it indexed in google yet but it has netted 3 sales for a commission of £1.77 for very unrelated items to what I am selling. It has only had 200 visitors so far.

    If it does ok without any form of promotion off a blog with 3/4 products listed imagine the possibilities when it gets going :-D

    I've had 41 items shipped and earned $30.44 in referral fees so far, I don't know if this is good or bad? Total revenue of the 41 items was $694.17, of which I got the $30.44....

    you get paid a commission of the listing fee, not of the final sale.
