WOW Amazon Associates Is Awesome

Virus1 said:

It depends on your ad and on the type of page you decide to do.

The better the page.... the more fans you will get for that money.

You choose the wrong page... and you will go thru the $50 and get 5 fans..

I Once managed to get 1000+ fans for $10 .... so it can be done

Virus1 said:

I understand what you are saying....

I help everybody a little bit...
even the people that want to be spoon fed..
just enough for them to feel they have accomplished something...
it helps them a lot...
it keeps them motivated...

I remember months ago when i was so lost...
I wish someone would of just pointed me in the right direction..
so now... i try to help everybody....

sometimes we judge some people as lazy.. but its not that they are lazy
its that they do not comprehend the english language as well as we do..

and that hurts their progress.... and they get discouraged...

so I help those people too...

You guys are doing it all wrong....
you do not use Facebook ads to sell..
you use the pages to sell...

use facebook ads to build that pages...

let me explain...

if you run an facebook AD... and someone clicks on your link..
if they like it.. they might buy it...
it they do not buy it... you lose them forever...

but if you build a page... make them like the page...
its less of a commitment from them....but
then you can hit them as many times as you want...
because you will incur the cost only the first time..
after that... its free...

hope that makes sense.....

Make sense to me it's like builing a list but better because they don't have to open a email to get the message. My wife uses this method to sell her own products but i never tried it out for my sites.

I would not use fiverr for this...

fiverr gets you random people...
you want targeted people

that is why
you build a page catering to a specific niche...
and add people that are interested in that niche...
and ONLY those people...

if you add 100k random people... then you have
random traffic.... which is useless....

Never looked into to Amazon.. is it only available for the US?

Yes I could just go to the site and look for myself but...

Click to expand...

It's not only available for the US, I know a guy in the UK that is doing this with a laptop site and is making sales on a regular basis from his site.

Organic traffic only after getting the site ranked for his KWs.

I've seen the site, I've seen it in Google.co.uk where it is ranked but I have not seen his revenue... no reason to as the rankings will bring the traffic and the traffic will convert to revenue.

Great thread, neo3187, it opens IMers eyes so they see more than just adsense as a revenue stream. + Rep for you , Brother.

I have 3 Amazon store sites that I just started and added a page on a fairly new site that is an Amazon store and look forward to the revenue stream from them after they get ranked.

Virus1, you have made my day. Thank you. I am just getting started and just recently had to google 'IM', then I was like 'Oh yeh lol'. Anyway, I now know I am headed on the right track! Don't be surprised if I hit you up for some help when I need it! Thanks again.

Well, I have been attempting to join a CPA network all week to no avail. I assume it is mainly because I am a newbie in this particular field. I have several domains I would be setting up with the CPA offers, but have not actually made the sites yet, maybe this also is a reason? Anyway, if you could provide a link of some kind to a few networks that I could possibly use you as a reference for, I would greatly appreciate it. Also, I would have PM'd but I have low posts. ;(

Thanks in advance!

First of all... read a little about what CPA is... in the forum section
so that you can speak the lingo if they call you..

second... setup those websites.... the more the better....

hi virus,

just to clarify what you said here. you said you send the fb ads to your fb page and then send them to your site where they can find your amazon links. that's 3 hops. why don't you just send them direct to your site and then to amazon so you get just 2 hops. can't they do fb like your site using a plugin or a script (i see some sites like that) or am i missing something here?

Virus1 said:

I send them to my web site.... then try to push them to amazon ASAP.


People always send them straight to amazon...
but somewhere I read that the click had to originate at your site to get paid....
so I play it safe and push them to my site first.


on the payout screen....
REVENUE is what I SOLD for them...
the advertising fees is what I get paid.

hope that helps...

Hi,

I agreed with you. Your points of view make me thinking about some thing for my project.

Pls try to keep posting. Tks and best regards

Small update:

Hi,
Is it okay to post amazon aff link on youtube video description?

Click to expand...

Read the Amazon Associates Terms of Service (TOS) agreement.

<rant mode on>I'm sorry, but questions like these drive me nuts. The EXACT information needed is easily available without relying on someone else to give you their idea on what the TOS says.

This isn't a dig specifically at maemis. I'm just using his post as an example of the type of things I see here all to often. For everyone... GO LOOK!

If there is an affiliate program you're interested in and have a specific question about it, go to the merchant's site and do some reading. Then you will KNOW you have the right info.

Using the example above, what if the OP had said (and he DIDN'T) he thought it you could probably earn commissions by direct linking from YouTube descriptions when it turns out you can't (I don't know if that is true -- just making a point).

So now you upload videos to YT with your direct links. You put in some work getting your videos to rank in the SERPS and then find out you don't get paid for traffic coming through your video description links.

Ultimately who's fault is it? The person that gave you the info or yours for not making the effort to first verify something that probably would haven taken 5 minutes in the first place?</rant mode off>

This is a really great thead!! So much information! In fact, I used the Search Thread option, searched by user and pulled up all the posts made by Virus1. Then, I copy/pasted each post into a text doc for quick and easy review/reference. Talk about a jam packed document!!

This sounds like a great opportunity, I gotta look a bit more into amazon...
