Amazon affiliate program

Xenigo123 · #1 05-26-2007, 04:20 AM

Is anyone making money off this? I have it set up as on option on one of my sites, and as it is a cancer treatment site it only advertises books that have to do with cancer treatments. I have still ye to make a sale with it, but I haven't exactly pushed much traffic to the site. Anyone using Amazon and making money with it?

Yes i am and have been doing for a while. Amazon is something that succeeds because everyone is willing to buy off them. Already 1 in every 6 people have bought off Amazon. So your not luring in just risk takers but ordinary people. A bigger market, thus more success.

They have a great brand name behind them but it seems to me people just aren't buying books anymore like they used to. Maybe it's because the torrent sites are also taking a bite out of the print market. I have noticed entire books also available for download off the torrent sites. it is amazing what you can get for free anymore if you just know where to look.

i have tried amazon´s affiliate programm once. but i was not happy with it at all.

4 conversations out of 100.000 pageviews and i only earned a couple of bucks.

I use amazons affiliate program whenever I review a product on my blog that is found on amazon.com, I dont get too many conversions but its ontop of my other ads so its worth it.

When amazon first started years and years ago, I did well with their selection of wedding related books. I sold books everyday and was quite happy.

But then over the years, nothing happened so basically I stopped running amazon all together. Not sure why the sales stopped because I had more traffic than before but anyway because of this I won't waste my time placing their ads now.

I have set up the amazon store on one of my sites and have made about $0.16 in 5months

im not pushin this site anymore and i did no effort on it.

So i guess that shows with effort and time you can make it work and generate good profits, the benefit is also that you dont have to do anything. ie deal with payments, shipping etc.

I wanted to set up a store on Amazon myself. People I know adviced me against it. They said it wouldn't fetch much. Now you confirm that by saying you got 0.16...

I'm staying away from this one for now until someone tells me they make $16K in 5 months.

I have heard that it is really hard to make money with Amazon. I have no experience with them at all, people have told me to stay away from them. I am very new to all this, but have started looking into them. A little nervous about it.

Does have an alternative other than Amazon? I just join and create online stores, but I check the Amazon link checker, the tag failed. I can not join in because I clickbank from Indonesia.

Please tell me the good affiliate programs

thanks

what is it that you are trying to do? Do you build your own websites, do you have a niche?

sangmoneyholic · #12 01-09-2009, 02:39 AM

Hi ,

I've heard a lot about Amazon's affiliate program but I've not tried this program myself. Many say that they pay very less commission.

couponmeup · #14 05-07-2009, 11:59 AM

Low conversion rates for me....
Though any general sort of site like this does not tend to convert well for me.

Look for niche sites

dofollowmike · #15 05-18-2009, 05:10 AM

None yet, and I have been using it for a year at least! Even if I did get conversions, their pay is horrible, what like 4%? I think amazon affiliate program would be decent for someone with lots of uniques.

jason830 · #16 12-25-2009, 04:18 AM

maybe you can creat a site to write product review and add your link at here.

masini · #17 01-01-2010, 06:39 PM

Isn t a bad idea. But can you make money whit it?

prakask · #18 01-28-2010, 03:00 PM

I donot find Amazon's affiliate working that good. I have heard it from many of my friends . Its a brand but not useful now a days and secondly, book reading ratio has decreased a lot

cameronwalker · #19 11-10-2010, 04:19 AM

I know some people who use this affiliate but they get a little money.

alvinlah · #20 11-15-2010, 10:31 AM

my adsense is better pay than amazon, I think selling affiliate is better choice.
