18 % Conversion Rate - Is That Good For Amazon?

15-20% conversions are normal for Amazon. She's doing a commendable job.

Great job. Now just focus on bringing in more traffic to your site and increase your income.

Yeah that is a great conversion for sure. Well done...but let's see if this conversion rate will remain that high!

That is an excellent conversion rate, tell her to keep up the good work =) And if it can be scaled up traffic-wise, all the better!

She's actually selling another product on her website using PPC with Bing/Microsoft, and Google.

The amazon sales are just what I would call extra income, side income, scraps from the main table...

So, as long as she keeps selling the main products promoted with PPC, then all the sales from amazon, are kinda like a free ride, which in essence are paying for the PPC on the main product campaign.

I think that in order to make any kind of real money from amazon, you would need more sites, and lots of high end products, and free traffic.

When I say real money, I am talking about making $150 - $200 per day in commissions from just one site.

I believe that she will reach that (with just the amazon commissions) with one site, but not in a week or month, maybe 6 months.

I am sure that some people actually make that kind of money, but "no one" should expect to "make a living" off of amazon and only "one website", with their (Amazons) low commission structure in a short amount of time.

Unless $20 or $30 dollars a day, will allow you to live well in your country....

That conversion rate is well within the average so I say well done to your wife. Now the key is to keep up the good work and see how she can expand what she's already doing.

Yeah that sounds about right. Tell her not to make money too fast tho... they might detect it an ban her account for being so successful so fast.

Sounds like your wife is rocking and rolling. CONGRATULATIONS!

congratulation for such a high conversion rate.

Does amazon conversion means they are going to amazon or 18% are actually buying something from Amazon?

Good conversion.Just keep it up

nice job from your wife it is good conversion rate keep it up

I don't know where people are coming up with this 18% being "average." That's completely delusional. The average Amazon conversion rate is somewhere around 4%-6%.

If she's only starting then 18% is very good.

It's like what you've said, she's very well adept in keyword and niche research. Plus she plans things in a very orderly way. How on earth would she fail? :p

People who are into this stuff should emulate some of your wife's work ethics if one wants to really succeed in making money online. Just saying.

That number is 9 TIMES my conversion rate buddy! Good to know that your loved one is rocking Keep it up!

But I think by promoting lower ticket items, the conversion rate MIGHT be higher. It's just my thoughts as I haven't had any experience promoting low priced items yet All of my chosen products are above $100 or so.

Do one thing. Put everything she does in a video training series. Then let me know. I'll be the first one to buy. If you really plan to do this, I would like to be informed. Thanks.

Yes its very high. BTW what do you mean she sells a different product and amazon commissions are just side income? Hows the income / conversion on the other thing she is selling? And is amazon just something that's just placed on the side of her website like an ad?

Yeah, 18% is huge. I'm a little surprised you wouldn't know that's high. I mean, that is just plain high. That would be a good conversion of sales for about anything I can think of. Maybe not for a freebie/opt-in, but for getting someone to pull out their credit card and buy something? Man, if I did 18% on my main dropshipping site I would be absolutely killing it. I would be driving an Aston Martin and trying my hardest to be a jack-ass to everyone I came in contact with.

My Amazon sites do 8.5% over the lifetime of my account. I didn't know that until I just checked. Sweet.

I think 18% is very good.

Yeah..18% is pretty impressive. She must has written a very good product reviews on her sites to get that kind of conversion.

Hey Steve.

If at all possible, I would be interested in seeing the general template of how your wife lays out the review and/or pictures of the product, paragraphs on the page, etc.

Lately I've been working full-throttle on my first ever Amazon review site for a specific niche of products. However, I'm still 100% inexperienced selling Amazon products, so I'd like to see some examples of how to model my site after.

My main keywords are in the electronic GPS niche, so unless that is highly related to your wife's product line, then you don't have to worry about competition from me

When my friends tried AMAZON they could get only 8 to 10% conversion.So you definitely have a great conversion rate.

Lol

Here's a sneaky technique as a "congratulations"
gift. When her customer goes onto the Amazon
Page, there is going to be two sections called...

"Frequently Bought Together"

&

"Customers Who Bought This Item Also Bought"

If your wife is driving traffic via a review page,
pre-sell those items listed. It's going to give a
boost in "upsell" sales if you do it right. (tested)

You can simply hint and then talk about the
other products.

Hey Steve

She is doing ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC if she is getting 18% conversions the normal most report is 5-7% and those above that are saying 18% is normal, just goes to show they really don't have a clue what they are talking about.

Some will have higher of course but 18% is absolutely not the norm.

To be fair Steve and to really see what the conversion rate is we would need to know some traffic stats I have seem many times high conversions at the beginning of the month with some early sales but the real conversion is at the months end where you can really get a real look at what the traffic was and the click thrus etc and then you can get a real idea od stats.

She deserves a Nice Dinner Steve I suggest you take her out for a celebration and if she is getting 18% in a couple months consistently I would suggest you teach her how to do a WSO people would lap it up (well those that know what the normal conversion rate that is

Kickin it on Amazon

18% is good, but why come here and ask if it is good. WHy are you NOT testing, tweaking to see what brings in more sales, or less sales. I am sure you would be able to beat 18% if you are asking that question in here. Test, tweak and find what brings in most then upscale and outsource your efforts.

I know two successful warriors doing this and bringing in 5 figures a month just with amazon. So it is very doable.

Why dont you test and tweak and them come back here and create a WSO or something, showing people how to did this.

Well done to your wife 18% is a great conversion rate for Amazon. I have found that conversion rates can depend on many factors including the niche and time of year but 18% if it is steady month to month is great.
A conversion like that shows your wife is providing value to her visitors and building trust.
Well done

18% is EXCELLENT, EXCEPTIONAL! Way above normal.

Most people would be happy with 5%.

Congrats! You are lucky man. :-)

I have a feeling there is a miscalculation somewhere. Where are you getting the 18% number from and over what sample size?

If it is, in fact, 18% - congrats. That's awesome.

That said, I would not think 18% is sustainable long term.

I'm no where near close 18% conversion here, so congrats!

Any updates on the conversion rate ever since?

I find my conversions are between 4.97% to 13.48% for the various Amazon blogs I have.
So your wife is doing very well. Congratulations.

What is the name of her, she is doing amazing job... 18% is away beyond average conversion.

Why not tell her to share her ways how to make 18% conversion from amazon..

Tell her to move on and continue what she is doing.. awesome thread..

18% is a very high conversion. I would not be surprised if that goes below 10% over the next 100 sales. Unfortunately with Amazon you can be making tens of thousands in sales and still not be at a full time income. The pro is that physical products sell easier then digital.

Excellent conversion rate. Anything above 10% is good. Keep an eye out and see if it will stay that high. Try to bring in more traffic and then you will get a better idea of the average conversion rate. And congratz to her for someone just starting out with this.

This conversion is perfect for a new marketer! Well done to her! I hope she will keep it that high for a long period. Also reaching $150 - $200 per day in commissions from only one site is not an easy job, wish she will make it, why don't you help her a bit? Two is better than one.

There're plenty of people here who would be over the moon with 7% so your wife is going great guns. She's obviously homed in on a golden little niche.
Continued success for her.

great thread!! hope the OP replies on his wife's progress, best luck for them!

18% is really high.. may i know what products are your wife selling? Just curious

An 18% conversion rate is very good especially for somebody just starting out. Yes it will increase as long as the traffic on the site continues to grow and expand

I wish I could get 18%! That's really really awesome!
