Passive Income Affiliate Amazon - Need to Scale Up

Hey guys, so.. I haven't done affiliate marketing for quite a LONG time. I've been heavily focused with my job and working with small - medium size businesses as an online marketing consultant - more specifically in SEO.

However, I got an e-mail the other week that amazon sent out their paychecks, and this time around I got paid? Mind you, I haven't worked on my sites where I was an affiliate via Amazon since....over a year and a half now. I literally just let it rot there. Why? Got too busy.

Anyways, I checked and I got paid a couple hundred dollars. Yes, that's not a lot but hey, to make that extra $$ that I worked on a year and a half a go was pretty inspiring.

What did I learn out of that paycheck? I didn't complete my marathon when it came to affiliate marketing. A lot of us quit too soon, and only to realize that the opportunity was always there but we just never capitalized. It made me think, man, if only I spent at least an hour or two a day I would have gotten paid more than a "couple hundred" dollars.

Again, this was in results from strictly organic. Imagine if I devoted time with e-mail marketing, paid, social media, offline markteing, etc. etc?

I think I'm going to go back into the drawing board after realizing that I've gotten paid for something that I did years ago and that I didn't devote too much time on either...

Just wanted to share that.

    That's the dream isn't it? Work "hard" once and keep getting paid for it over and over again.

    A similar thing happened to me with Amazon. I changed my payment method because I moved out of the US. Later, I shutdown my site, because I wanted to get a fresh start and create content for something I was actually interested in. Then, I changed my payment method again....and boom $$$ seemingly from nowhere.

    People sleep on Amazon, because of the lower commissions, but you can easily make up for it in volume. Plus, it's one of the easiest "sells" online.

    Scale to the sky....

      Thats it. There is no magic bullet, just consistent effort in the same direction.

      My Amazon sites started about 2 years ago. The first niche I chose was just wrong - bikes. Thinking about it after the fact most people go to bike shops. Still it brings in a few $$$ a month.

      Site two was much better, and with a little effort every day is pulling in over 2k a month, and growing. I try and invest 30-50% every month into content, link building etc.

    I had the same experience with Clickbank but its been 2 years that I've been focusing more with Amazon and less with CB. Amazon pays and I don't care about the lower percentage. Here's why I prefer Amazon than Clickbank.

    Consistency is the key. An amazon site can do better than 200$ per month. I have some friends doing 1000$ per month per site. So it can be a good income.
