[Journey] Amazon Affiliate Still Profitable or a Bust?

[Pluncray]

So far none, my main goal is organic traffic
Trying to add some pins on Pinterest will see.

Alright, you need patience with organic traffic. Pinterest is interesting depending on your type of products and targets.

Generally the returns are mostly the results of items not linked by you but that users had in their cart. Some even order multiple variants of the same product and keep one returning the rest. The other one is for products that have a high return rate, amazon warns if you are logged in amazon aff and browse the product url. No way to automate that so far.

Quick question. Do you do automated keyword research before creating a post so its better targeted with keywords or just feed the main keyword?

I just targeting products i want to have on my site, don't check for keywords in any tools, because for affiliate sites it's very hard to rank not long tail keywords.

What about creator connections product picking? Do you automate it in any way or its manual?

No it's all manual. I haven't automatized and optimized everything, this is just my side gig. If everything will pickup at least 3k per month will invest more time.

Nice journey, you don't have to rely only on organic traffic. You can generate traffic from social media pages or run ads.
