Newbie Journal - Watch Me Build My Empire From Scratch

Hi SimonD!
tnx for your journal, its inspiration stuff for me as noob. until now i just read and plan, i think its time for acction.
tnx again and GL!
keep posting !
 


Also someone just ordered $300 worth of stuff on Amazon from one of my sites - takes my earnings for the month purely from SEO to over $50.
wow! have been at this for a couple months and still have never made a sale.

my new thing is i just made a review site with links to amazon associates trying to sell the item. but ya, no sales yet bet at it for a couple weeks.
 
Lol man your rocking.

I got like ~140 clicks on amazon and 1 sale worth 2$ to me. I'm trying to tweak things as of now to increase amazon sales because i think EPN is starting to screw me. I sold 150$ worth of stuff(not counting acru's) and they only paid me 40$
 
Thanks Dan but I would be careful if you are using Easy Adsense yourself - there is a lot of feedback on that page that indicates the plugin creator is stealing clicks, I will stay well away from that one myself.

It sounds like a lot of people too dumb to be bothered to set things up correctly. It does default to the authors ID and have a couple of other things that need to be changed when you set it up, but I hardly would accuse him of stealing clicks since I am making money daily with adsense using his plugin.

Most of those people complaining surely have never seen an adsense payout, and want to blame it on something. I am making mid $xx daily with it and have seen no issues.
 
Oh ok good to know then, thanks.

Had a nice end to the month - sold another clickbank product at $18 a pop and another big amazon order which took me to nearly $70 for the month. This clickbank product site has been sitting there for months without a sale then gets 2 in 2 days - I recently changed up my presell copy but its hard to say if it made a difference without more numbers it could just be variance.

For the last 2 guys who said they are trying to get started with amazon: make sure you are selling things that are minimum $100 per item. My first site is flogging $25-40 products and while it has made more sales it is worth fuck all in commission to me compared to the other site where people are buying something that is commonly bought with a bunch of accessories that total $150-$300 depending on what they buy.

Its actually really important to have those sites that sell cheaper items more frequently. Remember; the more items that get shipped, the higher your % of payout will be, and amazon pays retroactively, which means once you make that jump from 4% to 6%(or w.e it is) they will pay you that extra 2% on all your previous sales as well.
 
Really Impressive Thanks For Share It Bro Thanks

I've seen this guy comment the same broken english on a number of topics on here. Anyways, really impressive thanks for share it bro thanks.

Lol but seriously now I will probably try a setup similar to yours to start off with, gotta start somewhere.

Any updates?
