Yes! I made my first sale as an amazon affiliate. The buyer who bought the item I was promoting, also bought two more items from Amazon. So actually three sales.

So far I only have setup one site and did not do any marketing at all of any sort. Just created a sitemap and submitted to Google. My site DOES NOT rank on 1st page of Google for any of my keywords. The user came to my site through a very long tailed keyword that probably has less than 50 searches a month

I still have a long way to go. But the first sale is very encouraging. The credit goes to Jan Roos and Paula C whose instructions I followed. I think the key to being successful is taking action and MASSIVE ACTION

      Hey that's great and thanks for the shout out.

      Now all you need to do is promote that site and get the traffic becaue you now have a site that converts which is half the battle won already.

      Drive traffic to that site and you'll be set. Then rinse and repeat the same process over and over again and before you know it you'll have a serious full time income.

      Cheers

      Actually that reminds me of another thing I like about Amazon. They only update their stats once a day so I don;t find myself checking my stats every 20 seconds and can actually get some work done.

        Jan, I wasn't aware that Amazon stats were only updated once a day. I'm actually happy that this is the case, because I'd be checking every so often (just like you) if the stats were updated in real time! Do you know what time the stats are updated each day?

          I wake up at 9.30 in the mornings and the sales are posted by then for the previous day. Sometimes sales only post by around 10.30 am but that rarely happens.

    Great job!

    Massive action and scaling up really is the key. We're very lucky to have members like Jan and Paula who have shared some great nuggets of information for Amazon that you can really take to the bank!

    Keep up the great effort!

    I just started implementing Amazon into my blog and got a sale about a 2 weeks later for a totally unrelated product.

    i have to either sell expensive items or alot of cheaper items to make any real money with it.

    Unlike the drugs I used to do this natural high keeps on working. I have started to see a big jump in my amazon sales since putting Matt Rhodes wso to work and I actually made a product sale (what they actually clicked on) for the first time this morning.

    I almost jumped up and down....

    Congratulations on your first sales and now just keep rinsing and repeating as they say. Your snowball has started.... Keep it rolling
