Great first post and I eagerly await your next one. I am just getting into Amazon affiliate, I've made a like $5 but I know it can be lucrative.

Keep it up.

Yeah, just added that, I'll have it say something when you submit... it is working properly but I hear you, it doesn't let you know that it worked.
 
I've subscribed to this thread for the updates on part 2 and 3, and also for future reference.

I've just tried again. The "thank you" page appears but no confirmation mail received yet...

I'm in process of switching to aweber so by weekend this will be worked out.
 
Get the next post up man ;)

Finishing it up, long post, 2000+ words... it will be posted sometime tomorrow. If you're interested in getting notified when a new post goes up I set up a twitter feed @anticareer_com that automatically puts a tweet when a new post goes online on the site.
 
How quick does this take to setup?


I'm writing a three part tutorial on how to make money with Amazon's affiliate program. These are the steps:

1. How to Pick Winning Products to Promote

2. How to Create a Website that Will Drive Conversions

3. How to Get People to Your Site in Order to Drive Clickthroughs

Step 1 is posted on my blog (link below). This tutorial will be great for people new to Amazon's affiliate program, but it will also be good for Amazon affiliate pro's as I'll cover things in depth and provide insight that you may have not considered before.

If you have any questions feel free to ask them in this thread on BHW.

I make $X,XXX per month with Amazon's affiliate program and have been earning with them for a few years now.
 
How quick does this take to setup?

If you're talking about make a site from start to finish (finish being traffic generation) to do it right could take maybe 20 hours of work.

Picking the right products: 2-3 hours
Creating the site, writing articles, getting images, etc...: 10 hours
Traffic Generation: 7-8 hours

If you're going to do it, might as well do it right and spend the time. Though I'm sure a lot of people would rather spend 3 hours trying to do it all, then they get shit results, say the method doesn't work, move on to something else, fail at that, and keep going around in this circle.
 
Making money online is not easy, if it was than everyone would do it. But at you can see on BHW most people struggle to make money... this is because most people are lazy and want to make money fast with little work. With that attitude 99% of people will fail, and the other 1% are either very smart or lucky and they will succeed.

That's not the problem.

There are literally HUNDREDS of "do this and make money like me" threads on the site. Many by people who have claims that can't be backed up or are no longer working. Many of these methods require a lot of time (like you said), time to understand completely and/or cost. Not to mention knowledge/skills you may not have.

A person cannot simply perform each method to "test" it out - they'd be here for HUNDREDS of years. There's also no general consensus that "this definately works". I wish there was a thread of "Post up what WORKS for you" and when it doesn't work, users delete that method. Would save everyone time.

That's the problem. Combined with 1) those who create useless ebooks for sale on cb or drive traffic for the public and 2) scamsters just want to give out false hopes in hopes people will buy their products - and you have one messed up industry. So problem becomes - having to SIFT through all the schemes to find one that looks legit and actually has promise of making money. That is an ART in itself. Oh and making things more fun - sometimes those that DO make good money online, may not want to share. Fun eh? lol.

(btw: If you post a how do I make money guaranteed online thread you will net 100 different responses - so which one is legit and one should choose?).

I'm MORE interested in learning of methods of bringing REAL traffic to websites and marketing. Those methods I CAN monetize easily cuz every website onthe planet wants more publicity and traffic. If people focused more on that, their paychecks would be off the roof. THAT'S real money making and providing a great service!

True, but this is why it is called "work" and not called "free money". You need to sift through all the "this makes money" threads and find something that you believe in. When I read threads I can tell right away if I think a method will work for me. If I think it can work I put it in a 'maybe' list. I then sort my 'maybe' list based on likelihood of succeeding and give the best one on a list a shot first. Sometimes they work, sometimes they don't. Nobody knows what your specific skill set is and methods are tailored to different skill sets. Just like anything. Just because you can pitch a baseball 100 miles an hour does not mean you can swish 3 point jump shots. Different skills.

If you believe that traffic generation is where its at then that is what you should study and become an expert in. If the experts shared every single they know than they just lost their competitive advantage. Becoming an expert takes time, effort, and trial and error... not just reading threads.
 
Amazon is great and just like the OP said, nothing good comes easy. Thanks for those posts. I'm already switching to Amazon

That's the biggest load of bullshit I've ever read! You've been here since 2009 but your first post was 2 days ago. Of your whole 13 posts all you've done is ask to be spoon fed. Quit being lazy. You don't have time to read a thread and work a method then you don't have time to make money. Nobody has to prove anything to you. Your better of at WF, there's enough "testimonials" to keep you busy for the rest of your life.
 
Part 2 of 3 was posted online yesterday for anyone who's interested:

*link*

I'm thoroughly impressed with your tutorial - I think anyone interested in monetizing with Azon's affiliate program would do well to read the tut, even if it is purely to grasp a basic understanding. Nice!

I see you handled NONE of my points and instead just threw out nothing but insults. Nice. Either way, my points still stand. How do you NOT know I've been reading this forum and trying things out since 2009?
