Now it's over .. so I have some time to tell you my story...

I registered to Amazon affiliate program about 6 months ago ... first it wasn't the best and I got some checks for few hundreds of dollars .

I started to read blogs and watch videos and then I saw there is unlimited options to make big $$$ from this business so I decided to be as much focused as I can .

1.I did ONLY blog commets
2.I did it in only 1 blog
3.I saw that on every 20 clicks I have 1 sale and I knew I have limited time before this blog will kick me out so I went for the most expensive products ( minimum $500 )

At start I thought to try and promote real estate or cars but I don't think Amazon is the best place for it .. and I already started with Amazon and wasn't sure how all this works for me .

To make long story short I had about 500 clicks a day and 20 sales .

and was doing about $30 per sale .. so plus minus it was around $500 a day .

bottom line I made $27,830 in 2 months so far till they closed me today

of course I have to be glad for what I made .. never thought I'll make so much but the most important lesson here :

1.To be focused at one thing ( if you are a manufacture you should be focused in 1 prodcut - at least this is my opinion )
2.I didn't made any research for "the best method" or something like that , so I learned that EVERYTHING CAN WORK - just believe and put 100% of yourself into it ( I have to put 100% as I did NOTHING else beside spamming this blog )


By the way when I say I was spamming I mean REALLY spamming ! ALL DAY LONG ! - at least in the first week ...

And don't you think I just pasted links ... I took it really seriously , and wrote whole story after the link .. what I think about it , why I bought it ...


Thank you all for your time and have an amazing day

    Your message about hard work is commendable, but all you did was...

    1. spam to make money
    2. burned a bridge with amazon.
    3. are back to square 1.

    Not sure I would call what you did a good thing...

      assuming his story is true, he also made more money than 99% of the members on this forum will ever make online.

      back to square 1 with over 20k in pocket = winning

    You should look at the bigger picture. You noticed that there are unlimited options to make money online but You just make it limited by doing things like that. Anyway, "be focused at one method" - that's a pretty good lesson.
    Good luck in the future!

    I think even though spamming is not a good business model, you took action and your didn't let FEAR or lack of motivation get in your way. You also learned:

    1. You can make money while you sleep (although perhaps you didn't " )
    2. You can make money focusing on one niche and one product that converts well;
    3. You were persistent.

    Good for you! Kristie from Georgia

    Is there anyway you use any of your knowledge you learned to apply to another way to make money that's a little more ethical?

    Hi , glad to see all the commets

    1.The blog closed me down , me and Amazon it's going to be long love story lol

    2.I learned that you CAN make money online , and I saw results so I think this will give me motivation for the rest of my life and that's more important than any technic .

    3.About building something stable , I never made money online before and I think if I was starting as building something stable so it was taking me long time to build and I guess I was giving up before I saw the first bucks ...

    Bottom line , I'm satisfied and going to do some big things in the future ( stable & ethical ) and I have motivation to do them , why ? BECAUSE I HAVE EXTRA $27K IN MY POCKET

    So one blog shut you down? Who cares!

    Make your own blog and then you can post whatever you want on it. You just gained some very valuable knowledge about what works. You don't need someone elses blog, create your own and market on that. You've got a converting niche, what's stopping you?

      Well of course Im thinking about it , however it seems that it will take me YEARS , maybe 5 years to gain the same traffic as this blog .

      And for the question that most big blogs block links posting : I know that , and I was looking for all top blogs until I found one with lots of links of people in the commets ( none of them are affiliates ) each promoting their own little brand or whatever they sell .

      I guess in some way it's good for the blog as well , as if now Im an affiliate and will commet with amazon affiliate link on some article about cars ( with link to a car on amazon ) so I want those people who are normal viewers will buy this car , right ? so I wont just spam and write bullshit I'll write "decent" review and something that can be seems as helpful for the client , so as a client that doesn't know its affiliate link , it seems that this is serious blog with serious people that write the commets , and all I'll say is "wow , such professional and good people are writing on this blog" ... this is just my theory as this was one of the biggest blogs in today's market and it allows links posting - however I did it really TOO MUCH

    Most of the blogs need approval to post link, how did you tackle those?

    If you can do nearly 30 000 with comments... how much can the blog itself do? Trillions?

    So now that you've made 28k and been banned from the blog, can you give us the name of the blog so that we can do the same or at least give us a clue to Google it up for ourselves.

      why'd he do that? he took the first step and stayed resilient and got success, what you can ask is the niche or any broader question like that, otherwise you yourself are looking for a shortcut here
