I think I mentioned previously that I earned $6 from Amazon for a product sale on a site I haven’t really promoted yet. Well, I actually sold the same product in April for another $6 which was exciting. The reason I hadn’t noticed is because I don’t check my Amazon account very often and I find their reporting structure a bit difficult for getting a birdseye view.
But, today I just checked and someone bought two of a rather expensive item through that same site and I earned $64!! Holy Cow!
My earnings have been so stagnant that this is really exciting! The only thing that stinks is that I am feeling pretty motivated but can’t do too much now as I have to get ready to put our house on the market next week. Drats!
I also have another item that shows as ordered, but there is no ad fee showing. Maybe b/c it hasn’t shipped? We’ll see.
Just wanted to share that. It’s funny how one good earning day can get you excited.

Carrie that is awesome-even $6 but $64! I cannot wait till mine *cross my fingers* earn their first sale! I am curious how you set yours up?
To be honest, Amazon was a bit of a side thought for this site. I have Amazon product pics/links in the sidebar and then in some posts which are about specific models, I include 2 text links and one picture link (top left).
What I need to work on is tracking my links. I believe you can set up individual tracking links so you can know exactly where the sales are coming from, but I probably won’t get to that anytime soon.
That’s great! What you said about Amazon being a side thought is interesting – because all the sites I have Amazon on are really as a side thought, and I just LOVE the way Amazon can bring in unexpected sales like that. Really makes me see huge potential in Amazon.
Thanks, Ruth.
Yeah, I mostly build my sites with Amazon in mind but since this was product-based and I wasn’t ready to add Adsense I decided to add Amazon. It may be that this site would be better as Amazon only?
Very interesting – especially since it seems rather difficult to make an amazon sale for me. I haven’t done your style, though, it makes more sense when you describe it that way.
I am now having a dilemma: I want AR, but need to pay for SEOLV, UAW and MS…yikes…I’m dropping one of those in favor of AR.
Have you heard anything about MAN or AMA? Or: 1WayLinks?
James, why do you need to drop something? Just buy $10 worth of credits on AR and see if you like it or not. No reason to start with a monthly membership.
I have heard mixed reviews on MAN and AMA. Don’t know much about 1WayLinks.
Oh yeah, in case you hadn’t seen it somewhere AMA and MAN use the same network so you only need one of those.
True – I could “try it” if I was that sort of guy.
I’m all in or not in…and: SEOLV — I would report that it has great/good/bad results…but the system has frozen every time I try to post.
Granted I am trying to go for their “this topic is in demand, write an article based on this subject” heading…it might just be busted? Server probs?
System’s glitchy as of yet. Wish I could an article thru — BUT need to try out their general publish section, if that makes sense.
Thanks for the report! I think I will, having said all of that, try them out first…but I usually stick w/something and then ask for a refund if it’s no good.
Congrat’s on those Amazon sales! Amazon has been slow for me lately, but I always love seeing the occasional surprise sale. Like you, it’s been a side thought on many of my sites, but I’m planning to start building real Amazon sites starting June to see if I can actually start getting some regular, reliable income from them.
Congs!
Am yet to figure out how Amzon works but I will get there
