FINALLY!!! My first $100 day with Amazon

I'm so excited. I finally had my first $100 day with Amazon yesterday. I have been working at Amazon for almost a year now and have been making around $300/month for the past several month. This month I have made around $600 so far. It's not a whole lot but it is really nice. I know it will go down now after Christmas but I finally have my own strategies and they are working well.

Just want to offer some motivation to others on here. Just keep working and you will get there. Stop jumping from thing to think and just focus on one strategy to make money. If you are doing Amazon don't do like a lot of the Amazon courses tell you to where they say to keep building a huge army of sites. It's far easier to just focus on a couple and build them up. Get lots of reviews and helpful info on the few sites which will actually help the visitors rather than building up many sites that don't really help people. Just my two cents anyways.

Cheers and happy holidays

  • I'd be happy with $300 a month but I've made about $120 so far this month. Heck.. $100 a day is awesome! Congrats. Just curious but do you work on mini niche sites for your Amazon commissions?

    • Hi. In the past I was building many review sites that each had about 5 reviews each but now I am only focusing on a few sites and my main one right now has 15 product reviews at 500+ words each and I am soon going to be adding more informational articles as well that don't have any affiliate links so it looks a little better in Google's eyes too.

  • Awesome, I just started out with Amazon in early December and I made around $250 this month by just following what other warriors have been discussing on this forum

  • Congratulations see everyone hard work does pay off.

    I love hearing success stories like this I remember my first $100 day yrs ago it felt great and it still does.
  • Congratulations!
  • Congratulations!
  • Really happy for you.

    This is really a reality!
  • Congrats! I agree with your philosophy as well. When you just have one or two sites in larger niches, they are not only easier to manage, but they gain authority in the search engines so that it becomes easier and easier for you to outrank your competitors over time. You will also get backlinks naturally from places you didn't know existed and that you wouldn't be able to get yourself that high high page rank and Alexa rankings. Keep up the good work!

  • Congratulations. One thing to keep in mind though, don't put all your eggs in one basket. I'm in California and Amazon gave me the boot a few months ago because of a law passed by our money-grubbing politicians. They didn't think of the unintended consequences of killing off the business of over 20,000 work from home operators.

    Amazon has since reinstated my account due to a temporary deal being worked out between themselves and the state of Kalifornia. I'm sure our out of touch elected representatives will come up with yet another way to take from the rich (which to them is anyone who makes more than minimum wage) and give to themselves. When that eventually happens, I'm sure Amazon will once again clobber a bunch of us who are sending them customers.

    The bottom line is, my business suffered. Yes, I was able to get SOME of it back, but I don't know how long it will take, if ever, to get back to the level it was before outside influences tampered with it. One thing I've learned....

    Create multiple sources of income. If one dries up, you still have the others.

    • Thanks for the advice but I don't think I will have to worry about the Amazon issues like many people in many states have. I'm from Canada so I should be safe haha. Still good advice. Thanks

    • I agree with this and this is what I'm working toward. Security is so very important.

      Congrats on your sales! I love threads like these to help keep morale up!
    • I cannot agree more with the concept of multiple steams of income! It saved my hide more than once. Job lost, business failures, market changes..etc, in one word: do-it!
      (Maybe in 2 words?)
  • Wow buddy! congrats. Keep the spirit up and carry on getting success. Best wishes.

    • Pretty Good for 13 sales.....must be some pretty high priced products, which is the way to go with Amazon.

      Congratulations

  • Thanks for the inspiring story. It sounds like you've learned to maintain your focus, which is a good lesson for some, like me, who can't seem to buckle down and resist the urge to jump from one project to another before we see results.

    Much continued success to you, cweber.

  • Impressive stats..good work.
    Do you have any tips to increase conversions? How many UV's do you get daily to pull those kind of numbers?
  • Congratulations!
  • awesome dude, what are you using ? twitter, website, or facebook notes ?
    • [1] reply
    • I am getting about 160 UV's per day lately which has really made my earnings go up. I am now in the first and second positions on Google for my main keywords.

      I am using review websites
  • Congratulations! Feels good I bet. Focus on making even more.

    Do more of what you have been already doing!

    More sales to you buddy and thanks for the motivation.

  • Congrats cweber! $100/day is a great accomplishment!

    Amazon is a great way to earn money.

    What I love about them, is that people who clicks on your links very often end up buying other similar products or even more than one product at a time.

    Good Luck Chris!
  • Congratulations
  • Congrats. I had a $100/day today also.

  • I have few site that integated amazon products inside, but just 2 sales only, amount to $3 only... need to work harder.
  • Congrats to you! Quite impressive and must be a great feeling! My goal $50/day by June, 2012 and $100/day by December, 2012....we'll see!
    • [1] reply
    • Awesome work! I think if you carry on like this you will see a lot more by next December!

      Start to think spring products on Amazon now so you are ranking high when people start buying up garden furniture, barbeques, etc..
      • [1] reply
  • That's awesome, you can see that this actually does work, it can just take a little time and effort, people are too quick to just quit. Just wait until your on $300 a day, that is a nice feeling.
  • Banned
    Just double up your work and effort to meet your expectations. I really like seeing people share their success than people sharing their failure.
  • That's great! Have you thought of creating a WSO that outlines the strategy?
    • [1] reply
    • Yes, it would be nice to see your strategy laid out.

      Congratulations on your great success and it's really great advice to stick with something for a while until you work out the kinks. It can be too easy at times to get distracted with new ideas and pathways to success. But starting over every time something sounds promising can, in the end, keep you in constant "start" mode without seeing much return.

      Keep up the good work!
  • Congrats! I'm at that $300-400/month range and seem to be stuck there....waiting for that next break through month. My goal is 2k/month by the end of 2012 and to quit the day job!

    Thanks for the inspiration!

    • Hey, way to go! I'm setting my self a goal of working towards $100 days by the 1st quarter of 2012. Just love this stuff.
    • It would only take you 24K (2K x 12) per year to quit your day job?

  • Congrats! I'm at that $300-400/month range and seem to be stuck there....waiting for that next break through month. My goal is 2k/month by the end of 2012 and to quit the day job!

    Thanks for the inspiration!
  • Great job Cweber!
  • Congrats, cweber!
  • Congrats!! Super job. Don't look back...go go go!

  • I'd love to be making $50 a day nevermind $100 a day. I'll get there eventually. Have some new tactics with HostGator at the moment offering my design skills and a $50 profit per site which takes abour an hour a site. Hoping to be doing 2-3 sites a day and easy money .
    • [1] reply
    • What's your plan here, mate? How do you make $50.00 a site? Are you outsourcing your tasks (e.g backlinking, writing the contents...)
  • Great to see it when people actually do the fabled 'make money online'!
    I'm inspired.
    I have managed to inadvertently make some amazon money, I just haven't yet figured out how to get a check from them.
    Do they have a threshold like google Adsense does?

    Thx,
    J
  • Nice work! have you done much backlinking to get to your 140 UVs or so per day? I love amazon since they have virtually anything you could possibly want to promote. I've made about $5 this month on amazon but it's been on inexpensive products. Even that $5 is exciting because this was just from humorous articles, not even review sites. those are next
  • OP - how much of that money do you spend or put back in into the business (outsourcing, SEO, design, etc.)?
    • [1] reply
    • Right now I am putting all of it back in to build out the site with more content and to do more seo as well.

  • A BIG CONGRATS TO YOU! WELL DONE!

  • keep it up warrior, you rock... a lot of people in this forum needs to know about more and more success stories come out from this forum. You, me, we can do it.
  • Thanks for all the support everyone Really appreciate it and it makes me want to push for that $200 day now and eventually a $1000 day
  • Congratulations! and Thank you for sharing
  • Congratulations
  • Congratulations!

    I completely agree with you, websites that actually help people are far more effective, and in the process you're making the web a better place, too. Just look at the amount of useless websites when you search [product name] review...

    I've been looking into getting started with Amazon lately, but I'm wondering - how can you create an authority website promoting Amazon products? All I've seen so far is review sites and plain sites that just give information about products.
  • Congrats! I'm not there yet, but I'm slowly getting there :-)
  • wow that really is inspiring! i am due my very first payment of £27 after 9 months ha!
  • I wish you more money in 2012....Good luck!

    • Wow! What a great achievement and a big congrats, man. I'm also waiting for my first check from Amazon after 6 months, all from free methods. Hope to do better this year.
  • Good job, mate. That's a nice victory so close before new year. Must feel extra good.

    Now maximize if possible!

    I recently switched some of my themes for my Amazon sites to a more simpler own and it seemed to work for conversions. Wish I had known sooner.
  • I'm going to try those quick set up Amazon sites and see what happens. Congrats on your sales!
  • Great stuff, cweber! Something to aspire to... looking forward to my first $100 day in the near future

  • Wow, congratulation That's really a great success.. Do you mind sharing with us on your strategies.. it doesn't have to be so detailed
  • Congrats keep it up.
  • This is great.

    Can you elaborate more how you did it?
  • Yes

    Could you explain more how you did this please?


    Thanks
  • Congratulations! Just wondering, what's your format? Review content then...?
  • That's fantastic news. Creating a decent income on Amazon is hard, and a lot of people would be happy to make 100 dollars a month with it.

    Congratulations to you, and wish you to continue your success.

    Chris

  • Congrads.....if you can make $100 dollars a day then you can make
    $1000+

    keep pushing forward
  • Well done Cweber and I wish you continued success. Thanks for sharing as this very encouraging to everyone.
  • That's Great! Really goes to show how focus and belief will get you to take action and follow through. One of my favorite abbreviations for FOCUS is

    Follow One Course Until Successful

    Cheers and Happy New Year!

      but spoiledkid01 beat me too it.

  • Great feat! Congratulations
  • Well Done! I still have a long way to go... ; )
  • Great job! This proves that sticking with one thing that basically works and keep working on it (tweaking etc..) is at the end of the day the bast way to not only make money online, but gain more confidence as a IMer.

    It seems simple but many cannot stick with one thing and end up making nothing...

    Well dane!
  • HI there cweber ...
    First of all congratulations on your success.

I have been through ditched and down in dumps when it came to the starting of my career and while reading your statements it refreshed my old memories. I have sticked to my work over making money online too and today I earn $700 per month. Really happy to find someone as hard working as me.
