How much do you earn from your website?

5 replies
Hi,

How much do you earn per month from your website? What affiliates do you use? What wordpress theme or php script do you use on your website?
I use ShopperPress for my website Phone To Buy - Buy new and used phones. I use data feed import tool in ShopperPress to import products from Amazon. My website is not so nice and good. I earned just £28 in 5 months:-) Something I doing wrong. I know that somebody can advice use social shares, forums and so on, but this way looks for me like spam.
So how you earn money?

Thanks,
Tomas

    Basically, your site is just another Amazon site with no reason whatsoever to buy through you as opposed to going to Amazon itself. There's nothing unique about the content scraped from Amazon; it's the same content as every other person using the plugin to peddle cell phones has.

    Rather than trying to be a "mini-Amazon" by scraping the site or just posting the product feed, I try to send people to Amazon in a mood to buy. In this market, I'd look for news stories about people putting their phones to odd uses, stories about how their phone saved them pain or embarassment, or even caused it (look for the video of our Senator John McCain playing video poker on his phone during a hearing). Share links (open in a new window) and comment on the stories, then add a recommendation ("If you want to see the latest blah, blah, blah, check out..." or "Looking for a new phone for yourself or a family member? These are the latest and greatest...") Review apps, then link to the phones that can run them (Apple vs. Android, maybe).

    Bottom line, give people a reason to read your blog, trust your blog, share your blog and click your links. Regardless what the sales page for the plugin said, slapping up an "Amazon lite" site is going to give you exactly the kind of results you're seeing.

    Well if you think yourself that your site is not so nice why not change it and make it look nice..
    Because if you don't even like the look of your own site then your visitors certainly won't

    John has good point too which i highly agree with scrap the scrapping..

    I'm not going to reveal everything to you, especially the amount. But I must tell you that my earnings are growing every year.

    I use to earn about $30 a day.... that was

    until I starting doing list building and getting quality traffic from affiliates, PPC, PPV, video, seo and a few other places.

    Now, well you could say I never have to get crappy 9 to 5'er every again.

    Honestly, not much.
    But the value I've had form my website in terms of generating relationships with people in this business has been worth far more than any affiliate payments so far!
