My Amazon Earnings and some tips
Permalink   
 


Hi, this is my first post on here, but I've been reading info on here for quite some time. Anyways I've been promoting products for a couple of years and I'll like to share some tips that may help people just starting out or even the experienced.

Also I've started a new project with amazon affiliate program, I've stopped using the program last year but I decided to experiment with it. So I'll be posting my experience.

I started the project the 2nd of Nov. Here are my clicks and conversion stats


Here are my earnings so far


And my stats from hostgator



My top 3 products are
Kindle
Masterbuilt indoor turkey fryer
Sennheiser headphones

I have no problem telling what products I promote

None of my visitors are from google or any social network. I've found a new way to promote my website that no one knows about. Once I polish and perfect this method I will share it with you guys, but right now I will post my experience and advice.

Here are some tips for you guys:

1. They say content is king, well if that is true then structure is GOD. A well structured website with mediocre content will make more money than a crappy website with the best content on the web. Look at major stores or supermarkets, there is a reason why produce and dairy products are at different ends of the store, there's a reason why the buy now and user review on amazon are separated by similar products, what other people bought and so forth. And that reason is the consumer are more likely to buy something other than what they came for. Your website is no different.

Here's a general list of what a well structured website has:

  • No more than three colors on your website, the cleaner your website looks the better, (Google and YouTube are great example of clean examples)
  • No fancy background, white is the best (All the popular websites use white)
  • No distractions
  • The content is the first thing the visitor notice
  • Limited ads, no more than 2 if its a adsense page and none if its an affiliate page, and on the right side of the page
  • Content and affiliate link blend together, no widgets or banners!


2. Keep your content short and sweet. The average visitor spends less than 60 seconds on a page, if your content looks like it's going to take 2-4 mins to read most people will either hit the back button or skim through, overlooking your affiliate link. The best way to get visitors to read your content is to make a list.

Here's an example of how I would write an review about a camera:
(bold)= affiliate link

(product A) locked me outside my home!



Okay the title was an exaggeration, but it's so hard to stop taking pictures and go back home especially since with the huge amount of memory I get from (product B). I have to admit I was a little skeptical at first, but after reading people experience (here), I decided to buy it. I know a lot of people will say (product C) can do the same things, but it I find (product A) to be better for amateurs. Well here's 5 reasons why (product A) hid my keys.

1. great blah blah blah

2. I was able to find a great strap (here) that helps me significantly.

3. blah blah

4. blah blah

5. Price was also an issue but I found a great place (here)

well there are my reasons, if you are interested in buying one, I highly recommend it. But don't take my word for it, make sure this is the right camera for you.

And that is a very basic way of how I would right a review about a product, I don't even own a camera by the way . Also notice how my content is structured. I advertise more than just one product, I blended my affiliate links, and my content is a short experience. This structure has produced a huge amount of orders, not clicks, orders.

I will post my earnings tomorrow, I'm guessing there going to be low because I took them down to work on them, also I will post an example either tomorrow or Friday.
