Why Amazon is Fun

by Adie
10 replies
Even though it offers lower commission rate, it is fun to see 100 sales with a variety of commissions ranging from $2 to $9 with a total of around $100 to $120 per day than struggling to sell a single or 2 products having a $50 commission....

Aside from IM products, I am starting to see a decline in sales of digital products. I don't know if I am missing something with CB but my sales are continuously dropping even though organic traffic and list subscription per day is increasing... Hard to explain..

    There's certainly something to be said about tangible products. Even though the commission structure is lower, if you can drive the traffic and get the volume there's still plenty of money to be made. It's all about traffic.

    Despite the different methods I implement to drive Amazon traffic, I CONSISTENTLY see unrelated sales at around 1/3 of all of my sales. Whther it is a $.50 or a $50 commission, it's not only fun to add up your unrelated sales but you ALSO have great ideas for NEW niches/keywords to go after. I let the unrelated sales help dictate what my new target niches/keywords will be!

      Totally agree. Some people changes their minds on what to buy the moment they find new products that attracts them... In Amazon, the affiliate have lots of options..

      This is what I like the most about Amazon. A huge chunk of my commissions are from completely unrelated items. So, even if I didn't "sell" them on the original product, I'm still earning something.

    Then there's the pure random stuff that has nothing to do with anything you're promoting. Pet ear cleanser, anyone?

      True....but if you're shrewd enough, you can easily setup automation for your physical products.
