Amazon affiliate journey (outsourced everything!)

[Headlox]

Following this. Are you using the niche website you bought from the marketplace?

 

[shantanuvarun]

Update time
Corona virus has seriously impacted my niche and earnings.
I am see a huge downfall.

The ad revenue is dropped from 2$/day to 0.5$/day
The affiliate earnings took a huge hit as well.

I have done nothing with the site since last update.
Except just one article posted.


The organic keywords has reached about 5.5k in ahrefs which is quite a growth.


Whats the plan for the site in future?
I do not plan to to sell the site in panic for a minor profit. I truly believe in 6 months from now when everything will be back to normal.
Revenue will be back to normal as well.

Personalyl i think it gonna get worse from now atleast for next 3-5 months.


good news
I planing to start a new site from scratch this week. I may/may not make a new journey thread. I aim to a build much larger site to reach 5k$/month in 12-18months.

so you bulding links by yourself ?

 

[Elvlin]

Hi just curious how much money you have spend for the project? Estimate is enough.

 

[blueboy121]

Its been a while since i updated this post. so here it goes

SHort summary

• I have been getting 5-20 visits a day
• no sales since last update
• roughly 65k words have been published 3 more articles been ordered for another 5k words should be published by a week or so

Off page seo

• 
  
• Baught a press release, video marketing and infographic submissions last month.
• 6 guest posts from high authority site has been done so far. These sites receieve ton of traffic but usually anybody guest post on it so probably not that valuable (made tthese links last month)
• Ordered 10 high authority guest post this month which yet to be receieved. These are mostly linking to money pages.

The ahrefs stats doesnt look that bad for 3.5 month old site. Lmao

Next target:

• No links as i have made too many already last and this months

• Publish 3 articles each 1500 words

• Maybe make some quora or reddit links to get some traffic.

Tweak design and font size and color type etc for easier reading add images videos and other stuff to increase dwell time and decrease bounce rate and increase affiliate link clicks.





The site is doing is decent i am expecting it really pick up in november with traffic along with earnings. I have posted articles for even 50 search volume kws as well since they rank easy and keep motivated with commissions. I even target a kewwords 10$ product price lol.



What do you guys suggest? How do you think its looking so far?

About site 2 i didnt anything its just sitting i honestly have focused on site 1. But the keywords seems to be on rise recently. getting 1-2 visits everyday now.

I target KGR keywords so I do anything below 250 MS. Even zero volume too!

How much do you pay for your guest posts and where do you get them from?

Update time

I was convinced i was gonna hit 500$ without amzon rates slash. Ahh well!

Good news is i baught a new domain will be starting a new project soon. Its more competiitve space.


Total income from ads+amzon so far = 360$

Not bad.
Next month will see the full effect of commission rate slash.

so you bulding links by yourself ?

not all.
Some links i make myself but majority has been outsourced.

Hi just curious how much money you have spend for the project? Estimate is enough.

I will update the thread once i do my calculation

I target KGR keywords so I do anything below 250 MS. Even zero volume too!

Go for it.
Dont let tools misguide you.
I had 80 sv keyword bring in more than 10k views month.

Awesome journey - thanks for sharing! For your money articles, how many words do you roughly try to have?

more or less than competitor
if #1 ranking has 4k words
Then i will crank up the same amount of words.

last month ended on a good note.
total 450$ (ads + amazon of other countries)
not bad.

Someone already asked this question. But did you calculate the total investment you made thus far?

 

[Didou]

Hey
I've noticed that you have a high conversion rate which is amazing and I hope it gonna continue like this or even better
The question is, what are you using to send people to amazon, Comparaison table, text, and image or amazon widget?

 

[shantanuvarun]

update
my site got hit hard from the update.
i was averaging a nice 25$/day this month before update
i ll wait two -three weeks before doing anything to the site to see where it stands.

Someone already asked this question. But did you calculate the total investment you made thus far?

no
should be less than 5k$.
probably around 4k$.

i will do the calculations in a . month.

comparison table.
but high conversion could just be peak season. for the niche. i do not know. have to wait a few months to see if the conversion rate stays constant.

[shantanuvarun]

Update rankings for the newer site. Already getting some impressions.
The newer site is gonna be main focus for now.
Inital signs looks promising.

 

[shantanuvarun]

its been a complete one year since i baught the domain.
Here are pure stats

i made total about 1400$ so far from the site.
i have failed to hit 500-1k$/month mark.
last month i saw sharp dip in revenue as i only made 360$ from the site.

I have been hit from the algo update and amazin rate slash has also affected the site.


However I learned alot from the experience. i am confident next project will be a success.



Whats the plan for the site?

i wont sell it off. It still profitable for me asi have only invested around 3.5k$ on site (could be 4k$).


I will keep it with me by side as i build my other two bigger projects.


Thank you for following the journey.

Sad to see how your earnings dropped after the all work you put into it. But im glad you are still going.
Good luck on your future projects

 

[WebTG]

To be frank, it was actually a successful journey, you did not reach your goal but after the rate slash and google update even getting 150+ is not bad.

Yes indeed

Yes
seeong huge drop in income for aff site after update and amaz cut


Mid month update
this month has been pretty rough i just some very good rankings. part of the reason could be spam links that my competitor is building to my site.

I removed ads because they were slowing my site down and wanted to test some things.

Got rejected from mediavine as well.

Total so far in 14 days is around 90$


i might end this month with 150$
seems like it.





on a good note. I just buaght a new aged domain which i cant wait to get my hands on.

 

[michealcay]

Why did mediavine reject you?

 

[shantanuvarun]

Why did mediavine reject you?
