So I did what people have been suggesting - putting up more Amazon text links on my websites. Result - I have made $103 so far with Amazon. It's a start.

I will replace some Adsense for June and see if that brings in more money. Adsense has been doing poorly for me the last couple of months anyway.

  • Congratulations... That is a great start and sounds like something you can build on.
  • Thanks. I have several informational (adsense) websites, and I'm going to try adding amazon product links right on the home page for one of them. I currently have a "products" page with all the links, but I figure why not add the same product links right on the home page? At least the best selling products? I'll see how it goes.

    Make changes, test and find out what works better - that's the key to improvements!
  • That is fantastic! Maybe you should also add some pictures and link them with your Amazon tag. I think people like to click on images
  • Way to go bud! I just had my first $1000 amazon month last month. Milestones are great, keep on pushing and making that internet money!

      Will you reinvest the full 1000$ or spoil yourself a bit?
  • Congrats Waterburn....all the successful Amazoners claim that it is the text links that have the best conversions.....keep it up!!

  • Thanks, yeah amazon is a powerful solution for sure. Since they have so much stuff, people end up buying a lot of other products I don't promote on my sites. That's because they get "tempted by Amazon", once they get there... related products, product recommendations based on earlier browsing, etc. Amazon is smart. I only wish my visitors would end buying some high end plasma tv's or other high priced items! They haven't so far.

    • You could try picking a few high priced products. Write some really good, in depth reviews with good pictures and review info. These types of rich warm up pages have a much higher conversion rate than hoping to get a sale of of a traditional short paragraph or quick description and link combo.

  • WOW great job!
  • Don't settle for $100.

    Continue to scale it up bit-by-bit.
  • Good job! You inspired me to make some posts with Amazon links.

    So... umm... thank you... I think, and hope.
  • That's great, now just scale up!
  • Congratulations, It is really a good start in Amazon. Keep up the good work!

    • CONGRATULATIONS that your first milestone next goal is $200 just rinse and repeat what you are doing and it will continue to grow each month.

      I really believe Amazon is the easiest way for any newcomer to IM to start making money online.

      Keep up the good work

  • All these milestones are important regardless of size because you have to reach them before you get to the larger ones that are truly life-changing.

    It may not look all that impressive, but you've gone from zero to 4-figures with this one stream of income! That's only 2 orders of magnitude away from the "magic" 6-figures everyone seems to have as an interim goal on their way to being a millionaire!

    • well done

      If you have several sites, check where the most sales came from and promote that one a little more and you should see a bit more sales.

  • Thanks for all the encouragement. I am starting to add more Amazon links throughout sites. Hope to make $200 within a few months.

    I want to mention my strategy : talk about good products that can help with specific problems or needs, then link to the product in your text in an inviting way. Pictures are good too, but sometimes people don't know they can click on an image, so text links are still very important.

    I have tried Amazon stores too, but those perform very poorly for me.

    • I made 8c last month with amazon, someone bought a $2.50 audio jack

      I've been working hard on 4 sites for the past 3 weeks. Invested in a good amazon wso, and good quality articles... I'm going to make some money out of this if it kills me!

      I also have 3 adsense sites... the one in my sig is getting some good traffic, and the conversion rates have gone up a lot since I changed the site from white to black. I've only made $20 in the past 2 months from these, but they've been on hold, now that I'm concentrating on the amazon sites.

  • Amazon ads? I haven't heard of this before. They the same as adsense for Google? work in the same way?

  • Congratulation, waterburn. Keep up your good work
  • Congratulations in gaining over $100 from Amazon. Your subject matter is certainly a subject which won't disappear overnight and there will probably be a demand for products which eliminated bed bugs. I think you've made the right choice in focusing more with Amazon and less with Google Adsense.

  • Yes, that is definitely a start! It's amazing what happens when you tweak and optimize things for yourself. Good for you!
  • Waterburn....Congrats!

    As you can see, it pays to test and measure your results!

    I've tested all sorts of linking configurations for Amazon and I can tell you hands down that text links by far convert the best!

    Be sure not to overdo the links either. I've found that 1-1.5% text link density is optimal.

    Keep up the great work!
  • Good start. I'm in a similar position. Lot of work to do over the coming weeks.
  • Congrats!

    You can even upgrade it by selling higher priced product. My experience with Amazon is that when I drive people using very expensive product, they tend to stick around on the site and eventually buy something.

    Try that strategy.

    • Congrats on your first $100 month. I remember the first time I crossed the $100 barrier, then the $1,000 and then later that year the $10,000 it's a great feeling.

  • Hi caseyscreen!

    If you do a search for Amazon and Amazon Associates on here and start with the 5 star threads, you'll have more than enough information to take action on. A lot ofgreat Warriors on here have been generous enough to share their gameplans on here. Just follow what they have to say...No need to reinvent the wheel!

    • That's a nice start!

      I think if you approach the entire web page as creating a very helpful review/comparison/informational site (instead of just adding some more links) you'll start earning a lot more sooner.
  • Thanks waterburn. I've seen a couple of bedbug sites before, but not with the amount of work you put into yours. I appreciate all the info.

    I also enjoy your username. I'm a bit of a forum rat and I use a few on different forums. They are all interesting, not the 'tds13' sort of username.

    Except for the one I use on this forum. I'll have to work on that one.
