Started amazon affiliate 1 week ago... sold 2 items need help...

17 replies
I set up a simple wordpress site. Never done any affiliate marketing before but i have been a webmaster for quiet some time.

Long story short..

I went to check my amazon account to see if anybody has clicked through.. But now it says i have 2 orders. Which i was shocked and pleased with

however there is no income... but it shows the orders there. Do they have to be shipped or something and check if they aren't returned?

or is it something else? please help and ty guys and girls

    Start here.

    Lastly, learn to learn about everything you're involved in. In this case, if you're an Amazon affiliate learn about the program.

    Have you read the terms of service? Have you read their accepted use policy? Have you read the program(s) overview(s)?

    It's a habit that successful people have and one that you should get into.

    It's your money so why not find the answers from the source instead of from a hundred people here who are going to give you a hundred different answers and aren't as invested in your success as you are?

      Are you backwards or something?

      I'm asking for help from experienced affiliates.. Also it gets me networking with other likewise sellers.

      I have read the terms and conditions. I always do with everything. I am a law student so i know the trouble i could get into.

        Sorry to say but i think you have it backwards.
        Your question clearly implies that you have not read through the Amazon affiliates agreement, payout requirements etc.
        It took me less than 10 seconds to find the answer for you, if you post these kind of questions don't be surprised to get some derogatory answers...

        If what you say is true, then your initial post should have been as follows:

        "I'm an Amazon Affiliate and I'm looking for help from experienced affiliates. Plus I think it would be cool to start networking with other likewise sellers!

        I did read all the agreements about Amazon's affiliate program and know how the program works, but even though I read all this stuff I still can't figure out when I will get paid or when my commissions will start posting to my account?

        Could some experienced affiliates help me with the information that I missed when reading through how the Amazon affiliate program works?"

        He's not backward. But by answering in that way, it seems you're!
        You're a newbie and will need help at almost every step of internet marketing
        and if you keep talking to fellow warriors in that way, you're soon going to find
        that nobody is willing to help you out

        Change your attitude, because your nature is your future!

        Thanks

        That was a rather condescending and rude comment to "an experienced affiliate" who was trying to help you. You ask for help, but then insult the person who tries to help you. Tsk, tsk!

    They just have to be shipped for the money to show up in your account.

      When will I be paid?

      Payment for January is made in late March.
      Payment for February is made in late April.

    LOL. I'm sure he'd have seen his mistake and will now be remorseful. Can we please pardon him and still help him out with answers. At least for the sake of other newbies like us.

    Thanks a lot.
