$1475 In Sales On Amazon Today :0

75 replies
It's been a good day on amazon today:

Sold around $1,475 dollars worth of stuff. This is a pretty big success for me with this program. I think my commission is at 6%, so it will probably be around 80 dollars or so commission, not a bad day for not having to do anything :0.

This is just a reminder to everyone to keep doing what you're doing. I know what it feels like to be in that boat, where a lot of things go wrong, but there's nothing like a minor success to put a smile across your face, and revitalize your efforts towards your goals.

Count yourself lucky if you're getting into internet marketing now. 10-20 years from now, it will probably be very main stream, and every other kid out there will probably be making some form of income online.

So take this as your opportunity to be a guru, learn, and learn some more. Everytime you fail, make sure you take the lessons learned and keep moving forward.

They say a true entrepreneur fails fast, :0 and then gets back up.

Thought I'd share my little success with you, now I gota get back to building my empire tommorow (or I guess today), I'm a bit of an insomniac here.

    Congrats, Ryan. Now that it's October, those sales are going to come flooding in. Residual income is the best. That's why I love affiliate marketing over a lot of the other methods to make money online. You can just set it up and forget all about it. The next thing you know -- bang (sale, sale, sale...). Keep up the good work.

      CONGRATULATIONS mate

      What a GREAT start to the month as it only the 2nd keep it up like that you will have a great month.

      I love hearing reports like this it just keeps confirming that AMAZON rocks if you focus on it, and if you can do it with 1 site like you have, then make 10 more just like it, and you would of had a $600 day and that is what the likes of myself, Jan, Dan, Chris, Soujourn and Michael teach.

      Great job, I will have my fingers crossed for you for the rest of the month

      Kickin it on Amazon

    Awesome work!

    Looks like you have been using performance based commission and as we get nearer Christmas you should do even more.

    Keep us posted as it is only the 2nd of the month and if you carry on like that you should be flying!

    Wait till you get 8.50% commissions!

    Thanks for all the responses, I don't know how consistent it will be, but it is actually the purest form of passive income I have.

    In simple terms, I have a youtube video with the related items that links to a more in-depth post on my website (whatever you do, do not put affiliate links on youtube, but there's nothing in their terms of use saying you can't link to your website blog posts that have affiliate links in them).

    So in a sense, there's no back-linking strategy to this method, this might be a once and a blue moon thing, but the items that have sold have given me other ideas on how to escalate this, now if only I can find enough time to pull off my ideas, so busy :0

      I have a good amount of Amazon sites and they do alright, was thinking of mixing in some youtube videos for the holiday push. I have 2 more sites to put up today then its about 2 weeks worth of backlinking for 8-10 sites. I am thinking of maybe outsourcing the videos on Fiverr?

      What was the format for your videos?

        What was the format for your videos?
        Honestly if I were you, I wouldn't outsource my videos.

        My videos used to be shot in 1080p Hd with my sony handy cam (I'm going to be selling that soon) because I have a Canon 7d now.

        There are several major things you want to make sure your video contains:

        Make sure it's high quality, as high quality and professional as you can make it.

        Make it personal. Pick a niche your comfortable with in reviewing products and be the go-to-guy for those product reviews.

        (People are looking for reassurance b4 they buy, and you could very well be that person).

        Don't give away everything in your review. Let it be a teaser to make them want more from the review in your description which will also contain your amazon affiliate links (personally I like the ones that are simply the image, no amazon buy link in the image, just the plain image).

        Pick products that are popular and do your research on what kind of audience is looking for them using tools such as market samurai, google keywords, youtube keywords, etc.

        In your video, if you have the on-screen personality for it, it should include you, keep it short and sweet, maybe around 2 min - 2:30, and hint at products that go well with whatever device your reviewing (make sure you don't give away those related products, because you want them to click your description to find out more).

        Keep it down-to-earth, don't sound like a salesman trying to get them to click on your description. Casually direct them to the description for related products where they can get the best prices, and more details.


        There's a million different strategies to this, and I am not the expert on the amazon associates program. But I've had enough experience with youtube to know how to build an audience and traffic, if you want to learn more, feel free to PM me.

          I vary it up, but for this sale there is amazon code that makes it an image only, nothing else (no text on it etc.), which I find is the best converting for me.

          Not sure what penalties you're talking about, can you elaborate?

    Lol, nice misleading title.

    But yeah, you need to make roughly $1400 in sales for Amazon to make $100 in commission around the 7-7.5% level. It's nice that that figure drops a lot once you hit higher levels, but then obviously you're probably making way more than $100 a day anyway.

    It kind of hurts to look at the figures for how much revenue I've made Amazon compared to my commissions, but then you have to remember that they're the one that eats most of the expenses.

      As for how I did it, I mentioned earlier in the thread, as for specifics, feel free to PM if you have any questions.

      As I said b4, this probably won't be consistent, but it was a nice surprise.

        Well, you know what I mean; no one generally talks in terms of how much revenue they made for their affiliate program, they talk about what their commission was. But talking in terms of thousands of dollars is obviously more eye-catching. :p

        But yeah... the main thing is, you say this was luck, but if you can see what you sold to make that much (I'm assuming possibly one very expensive item) there's something you can learn from it and apply to future projects. There's always something to learn.

          Yeh I understand what you mean. But this has opened my eyes up to the power of youtube and products, that would be my suggestion to those that have websites, use the combination, and you could probably make some serious bank.

          As for the items, it ended up being 6 items that sold:
          Prices for each item were:
          699.00
          519.00
          16.80
          9.08
          199.00
          49.99

          The interesting thing is figuring out on my post what the best position is to take when disclosing if you're an affiliate. I made this money when I removed that I was an affiliate, but I have also sold things when I disclosed by them clicking on those links, I would make a commission and I appreciated it.

          It's that factoring whether the people like you or not:

          On the one hand, if they like you, they will probably buy immediately, hence your cookie is still enabled and you make the sell.

          But if they don't, that could be a lost sell, so you gota try to balance it out.

            FTC requires by law (as well as being one of the Amazon Associates rules) that you disclose to your visitors that you are an Amazon affiliate and make a commission from sales generated through your site.

              Yes they do however it does not have to shoved in the customers face such as

              Click here to buy the XYZ widget oh and by the way I make a commission if you buy this

              The layperson thinks they are paying more if they think your getting a commission so best just to have a Privacy and Disclosure page which satisfies Amazon and the FTC and is not in the customers face.

    Firstly congrats, mate! Keep it up! How are you making it with Amazon? Could you share a bit about your formula? You're promoting the products through your blog where you especially mention them or somewhere else? Because sometimes it's quite hard to make some bucks with Amazon due to their limited time cookie.

    Exactly what Gaz says, my privacy form already covers that. But I noticed some affiliate marketers sometime disclose because if their audience likes them, they will usually go out of their way to make sure they get the commission. At the same time there might be people that think they are paying more or don't want you to get the commisision.

    So you gota try it both ways.

    Huh? What if what they are doing is NOT working?

    You had one good day. That's good. Can you do it every single day, day in and day out.

    Most people won't ever make enough money to support themselves and are simply wasting time.

    A single sale of a big ticket item on Amazon would pay what you think you made. But electronic are only 4%

    It's nice to have a good day, kudos to you. But one good day on Amazon won't pay the bills.

      It's nice to have a good day, kudos to you. But one good day on Amazon won't pay the bills.
      I probably should of clarified when I said, keep doing what you're doing. I don't want people to quickly give up because they don't get immediate results, and it was meant for people that jump from project to project.

      As for you saying I had one good day, yes sir, that's correct I did, and I wanted to share it.

      What does doing it every single day have to do with? You're taking a situation that has had a positive impact on me and you're discrediting it because I haven't set the bar in your standards.

      Well, i'm here to tell you, that just one good day would cause a lot of people that are on the edge of quitting to keep striving towards their goals.

      You say most people won't ever make enough money to support themselves, I say you are looking at the glass half empty. Rather than classifying people, and putting a nice big statistic on it, why don't you apply something that helps, instead of something that discourages?

    I love Amazon! Finally broke $300/month and it keeps going up. I haven't done any video marketing though...gotta look into that. It's all organic traffic from Google so far.

    Passive income = freedom. For me it's freedom to support my music habit, but it's different for everyone. It's about the freedom, not the money.

    I agree, amazon is great for me. Fact is, I am think of getting rid of sad sense. Yeah, and going all amazon. The profits are amazing. Problem is feb, march, april, and may. Like those month are slow for me. Still, I believe this december is going to be a barn burner for sure.

    This is just a reminder to everyone to keep doing what you're doing. I know what it feels like to be in that boat, where a lot of things go wrong, but there's nothing like a minor success to put a smile across your face, and revitalize your efforts towards your goals.

    Count yourself lucky if you're getting into internet marketing now. 10-20 years from now, it will probably be very main stream, and every other kid out there will probably be making some form of income online.

    So take this as your opportunity to be a guru, learn, and learn some more. Everytime you fail, make sure you take the lessons learned and keep moving forward.

    They say a true entrepreneur fails fast, :0 and then gets back up.

    Thought I'd share my little success with you, now I gota get back to building my empire tommorow (or I guess today), I'm a bit of an insomniac here.

    Congrats dude!

    This is such a wonderful motivation especially to those who are failing.

    Keep it up! Aim for more

    Im not trying to be negative, in fact let me start out by saying congrats on the success.

    But only 80 dollars for 1,300+ in sales??

    I would seriously start checking out different programs.. I made 40 dollars in sales with Amazon, didn't see a penny. I quit then and there.

    After some searching, I now make as much as 100% commission, INSTANTLY to my PayPal for every other sale. NO waiting for payments. Its as if they bought directly from me.

    You could seriously be making a lot more than you are now if you focus your efforts on different products and programs.

    To get you started I recommend RAP Bank*Instant Commissions Vault

    All of their products are powered by Rapid Action Profits - The platform that pays affiliates instant commissions to their PayPal.

    Plus to make it even better, its instant approval. You can sign up and start promoting whatever product you like in just a couple of minutes.

    Some products cost just a couple of dollars, others on there cost hundreds. And they ALL pay instant commissions, with much larger percentages than a measly 6%.

    Good luck man, let us know how it turns out!

    I really hope you take my advice, I'm not saying you have to quit Amazon all together like I did, but you should definitely check out RAPBank.

    PS: The link I posted is just their main site, not my affiliate link. So I have absolutely nothing to gain by posting this. Just the happiness that comes with knowing I could have helped someone today.

      To compare rapbank to Amazon is like comparing Apples to Oranges not to mention it looks like a digital network similar to clickbank but WAY smaller.

      You may think that you can make more by promoting rapbank but thers are many Amazon Affiliates that will just smile and say OK

      rapbank has 1600 products, AMAZON has Millions

      Amazon sells hundreds of thousands of Products a day, products every consumer purchases from toothpaste to a $100,000 watch.

      Rapbank probably does not sell 1/2 a percent of what Amazon sells in a day plus they have a limited market unlike Amazon.

      In the OP's example he made $60 odd dollars for the day as a beginner and its is now possible for him to ramp, that up to make that $60 a day to $100 a day very easily, and then continue building it until he has a full time Passive income with customers that can order literally anything you can think of.

      I am sure rapbank is great for a few sales but there are Thousands of Amazon Affiliates out there that will disagree that rapbank can even hold a candle to the earning power of Amazon.

      Kickin it on Amazon

    That is amazing! I just stepped in to IM around a month ago and I was wondering what kind of website you set up to make commissions from Amazon. Was it a review website or just general informational website for a certain niche?

    Again congratz on your success!

    Congrat. Rinse and raise it, we know Amazon have low commission, but we can sale their products easier than Clickbank products.

    @ramone_johnny - I guess to each their own, still not sure how it's misleading, it says sales not commission but oh well.

    @whosthatguru - I'm very much aware of the other programs out there that offer better commissions. Right now, I'm not even focused on amazon, as I said earlier, it's my purest form of passive income, because literally I'm doing nothing. As for the percentage with amazon, I'm not going to complain. Amazon is a highly respected retailer, and their system is pretty cool, how you can get a share of each sale, so I'm all for it.

    @jinjinjk Without going into details, I can say that if you go the youtube route, you don't necessarily need to build a site focused around one product. You can actually have a more general site with different pages, and focus on video promotion. Of course there is always that added advantaged to being at the top of the google SERP and #1 on youtube for certain keywords.

    Look at it like this. People absolutely love reviews. People that are looking for reviews (most of them at least) are screaming they are ready to buy. Do reviews, and anything else you can think of showcasing products or a specific product and tie it in with pages on a general website, or specific websites to that niche of products, whatever works for you.

    Yeah thats cool man, just wanted to make sure you knew that 6% commissions is really low.

    I'm sure there is probably some money to be made in the long run with Amazon, and if you are OK with only 80 dollars for 1400 in sales, you will probably do good there. As you said, you are doing nothing. But there are plenty of other ways to be doing nothing and make a lot more than that..

    I just wouldn't do it myself. I know RAPBank products and the like are very limited, but when you choose the right products and know how to promote to the right audience, you won't NEED millions of products

    @whosthatguru Thats why it's always good to split-test, try different things, and see what gives you the best results. :0

    ^ Agreed

    You never know what is going to be the most profitable until you actually try. I just am quick to pull the plug on the ventures that simply are not worth my time.. But I also know first hand how long it can take for residual income to build up - and once it does, you can be pulling in a lot of money, doing absolutely nothing like you said. It just takes a long long time to get there.

    I guess I'm just more of an "instant gratification" kind of guy. After all, tomorrow isnt guaranteed.
