How I Make $500-$2500 a Day With Amazon (Triple Your Amazon Income)

Thanks for the share!

How many sites are you running? How many reviews per site?

How to you drive customers? SEO mainly I guess?

Did the ribbon help generate more clicks?

Very nice indeed, thanks for sharing

Thanks for your reply!

I'm also curious about if your sites are mostly micro niches ranking for 1-5 long tail keywords, do you use Exact match domains, and do you ever use adsense for additional monetizing?

Cheers,
Yoangov

Hi Kendra..

Beside you are pretty girl you know how to make a great income thru internet... Congrate... This inspire me..

Thanks for the post Kendra. Sometimes it could be very frustrating in the field, especially for a noob like me. However, you give us all hope and inspiration to continue. I like your system. Maybe you should think of writing a "how to" ebook and sell it. I'm sure many people would be interested. Good luck.

Well guys just for clarification purposes.

The OP does not make that much per day. The whole team does.

As was mentioned in a previous thread the op is part of a big team.

commissions are then SHARED between everyone in the team

Kendra you kick ass.



I'm busy with other projects now, but have about 10 Amazon review sites in the background generating a few hundred per month. (I agree with your notion that creating unique content is a key variable determining Amazon success.)

My biggest mistake was not targeting HIGHER priced items. (When my other projects are automated, I will focus upon higher ticket items.)

If I can sell 50 cheap items, I can sell 50 expensive ones! (Especially after targeting keywords.)

Good luck to you in the future miss.

Thank you for sharing Kendra, I am working on an Amazon review site but I am taking a different approach, I want an Authority website and target one profitable niche that has alot of future expansion opportunity.

I thought Amazon won't allow Affiliates to use their trademark or picture unless they provide it, you have some nice designs here but isn't that against their TOS? I would like to know because I would like to design such graphics.. I know alot of the posters will be like..why are u asking here.. just go and ask Amazon.. but I want to know if you have any information in regards to that!

EDIT: Forgot to ask how many links to amazon you add per review page, pictures and text

Zaco

congrats on your success and thanks for passing along such good tips and also providing a bit of evidence for those skeptics.

What areas of your site are you placing these banners?

Thanks btw

I assumed that banners didn't convert well for amazon.
Never tried it though.

can i do this for Ebay?

Glad those top 5 tips are working for you! Those are the ones I wrote and shared in this post: Amazon Affiliates - Are You Seriously Making Money?

Many Amazon experts shared a lot of information in that thread and it's a great starting point for anyone interested in building Amazon product review sites.

Nice work. keep it up.

The link to the thread "Amazon Affiliates - Are You Seriously Making Money?"
doesn't work, at least for me. Let's try this one...

Kendra,

If you are going to share Sojourn's tips from this 2010 thread,

http://www.warriorforum.com/main-int...ing-money.html

you ought to credit her instead of sharing them with no credit as if they were your own.

Sojourn's tips below -

1. I hand write each review - no content taken verbatim from Amazon except a couple of comments from their consumer reviews.
2. When I mention the Amazon consumer reviews, I suggest the visitor can "read more here: (affiliate text link to Amazon review page)".
3. I started by writing reviews on the bestsellers on Amazon for this group of products. There are probably a couple of hundred different versions of this product on Amazon.
4. Unintentionally, I chose a niche for which the products' instruction manuals are readily available online. I started actually reading the manuals which allows the reviews to include more information than is found in the Amazon product listing or on any other site that is simply using the Amazon information. Things like included accessories, ways to use the product, information about how it compares to competitive products. This allows for more content in general and more long-tailed traffic.
5. Visited the manufacturers' sites for additional information.
6. Promoted the site with bookmarking, a handful of articles, a network of Squidoo lenses, and a Hubpage.
7. Titled each post with "Full Product Name Review".
8. Linked images, text links and Amazon reviewers comments to Amazon.
9. Included a "check the price" button in the post.
10. Used WP-Table Reloaded to build a Comparison page of all the products for which a review has been done that can be sorted by critical product features, ratings, and price and which can also be filtered by any data in the columns. The product name in the table links to my review page. The price data in the table links to Amazon.
11. Created a standard format that I use for each review so they are uniform in case the visitor goes from one review to another. This way, all the same information is in the same order. (There's probably a faster way to do this but I just copied all the necessary HTML formatting for my post layout into a draft post. When I go to write a review, I copy the HTML from the draft into a new post and then I just have to paste in my review text, insert images, and links.)

@Vicone, @dfs_dean, and @LilBlackDress - Aw, thanks for watching out for me! 'Twas a bit like deja vu reading the words and thinking they sounded awfully familiar...

(And if I should be in bed based on my time zone, there's at least one of you, if not two, that are up way too late - or way too early. Get some sleep!)

Kendra - Gaz was referring earlier to having made the switch from having many sites to focusing on a smaller number of authority-style sites because of the time commitment necessary to manage a larger number. Not only is the workload different, but I have also found that sales and conversions are far better when focusing on a small number of large sites rather than focusing on a large number of small sites.

Your screenshots are only for 1 day so it's hard to draw too many conclusions from them, but I can see that the conversion rate is really low. My entire Amazon dashboard - which includes review sites, non-review sites, and hundreds of Squidoo lenses - has seen over a 9% conversion rate so far this month but if you pull out just my review sites, they've averaged a conversion rate of over 18% for the month. Your 1.85% conversion rate suggests that there is a lot of room for improvement.

Continuing to test your call to action, your site layout, and the match between the content on your site and the keywords bringing traffic should help. If you saw a more average conversion rate on that volume of traffic, the improvement in commissions would be huge!

Assuming these are Amazon.com reports, the commission dollar amount compared to the total revenue for the day suggests you must be doing some volume in electronics at the 4% commission rate. Otherwise, just that day's shipped volume would put you at 7% commission but this report shows only about 5.5% commission rate. It would be interesting to compare your conversion rate on electronics vs. non-electronics. Maybe one category is outperforming the other?

The commission dollars still look good, even split amongst a team perhaps, but I couldn't imagine handling that many sites! Must take so much time! My sites just take me and one VA who helps with backlinks and I still have time for other projects (thank goodness or I'd go crazy!).

A really interesting thread with some great input from Gaz and Erica.
I'm going to heading down the authority site route for 2012 as well.

My best advice to get higher conversions is to give your visitors as many possible ways to click on the ads as there are:
- text link
- image link
- "buy now" button link

Wow, there is way too much information in this one thread. I am looking into creating an Amazon review site. I just wanted to start out with a couple related products to test the waters. Now I see that it takes a bit of work to get started. Not that I am afraid of work, because anything that is worth anything takes work. I just need a place to start.

Here is what I had planned.

Create 1 site and have a couple reviews for related products. (Not sure what products yet)
Build a few squidoo lenses for these products along with writing a few hubs on hubpages.com.

Right now I have worked on hubpages and have 42 hubs written but have never written an Amazon hub or review. Any suggestions on how to get information on a product without actually buying them?

Thanks for sharingkendra kiwi,
I have several questions here：
1.which price do you like more ？more than 100$ or higher like 500$?
2.how do you choose your product to promote? Besides the bestsellers, any other method to find product?
3.how do you choose you keyword for site and post? one main keyword and some longtail keyword? if the product is very very new, how do you select the keyword for you site and post?
3.which kind of keyword get most traffic for gg and whats your suggestion for selecting keyword?
4. whats your suggestion about link builing? hire somebody or any tools or build yourself?
Thanks again!

Thanks for the share, Kendra. It's awesome!

thank you Kendra

I am posting to say "Thank you" and to be subscribed.

Cheers

You said in your thread title $500-$2500 a Day.

November and December should be the best months of the year for sales with Amazon so I was expecting to see your $2500 day in December.

I was just wondering if you could share how many $2500 days you've had through the year and in what months you were getting $2500 days?

Well so far it has became clear that the op has copied methods of someone else. Not sure why she posted it like she did, but here is what I am learning so far. This method must work because they are working for more than one person. I am going to be writing a product review site. Just need to figure out what market I want to jump into.

Market Samurai here I come.

would amazon allow you to use a custom banner such as that?

Kendra, are we allowed to use those banners you provided? Just making sure. My New Year's Resolution is definitely to actually work weekly on my Amazon site.

I did really poorly on Amazon this year. I am still getting my Amazon site together. That is my next year's goal. I WISH I would have spent time working on it this year when I could have. <sigh>.

I have a few blogs, that are NOT product blogs, that are NOT review sites really, and my conversion rate was 6.74% from Dec 1-Dec 21- I have a very low amount of orders this year (under 100). Like I said, I didn't focus on Amazon this year.

Thank you Kendra for the tips, it looks like you've had a lot of trial and error but finally got it all working in your favor. Oh, looks like you may have picked up a few more fans lol... best of luck to ya..

Who would have thought such hideous looking banners would convert so well. Now I know why Amazon's own professional, shiny looking banners convert so badly. *Note to self, stick a pixelated Bow, and low res text, on low converting banners for improved sales. Sorted!

This is a great thread because it's reminded me that producing good content is still a very profitable and reliable business plan. I had a fishing blog a while back and I wrote a ton of reviews on fishfinders and did quite well with it. That is until Blogger took it down. That's before I learned to NEVER use Blogger as a marketing blog. But, I just kind of gave up on it and didn't start my own blogs. This has encouraged me to start again!

I know u r very busy and i dont expect an immediate answer but you said you have up to about 25 reviews per site. Do you have any generic informative articles just for more added contet as well or strictly reviews?

Also, I am curious if you use Wordpress and if you do, how long you space out you r
Posts/reviews? Once a week? Every ten days? I would be curious to know ur thoughts and opinion on what works beat for SEO purposes
Thanks in advance!
: )

For Kendra,

Where do you put the banners you provided? do you put it
1. at the top of your posts?
2. at the bottom of the posts?
3. or at the header?

Looking forward to your response

Wow, Thank you Kendra. I think your posts on this thread have been generous and helpful to many people. I wish you lots of success in 2012 as you definitely deserve it. Keep doing what you are doing. Stay focused and remember there is at least one bloke in Oz who is seriously on your side.
Best wishes,
Martin
Oz!

dang... Erica/Gaz, my overall CTR is just 2% or so.

My main photography site (though that's not a made-for-amazon site) hovers at 1%
My son's toy site hovers at 3%
While my Squidoo lenses (using Erica's SNB) hovers at 13%

Serious work needs to be done with my photo blog reviews.

What is your linking strategy to improve your rankings? Which tools do you use?

Nice trick, the read more tip is a great way of getting that buying customer to click through

It always almost the same techniques.

But at least it works and gives people hope - NOT TO GIVE UP.

Thanks for sharing. It is really inspiring.

Wow, you're not banned from here yet Ken? If you want to know more about the OP/scammer of the year, check out this thread...

blackhatworld com/blackhat-seo/****-list/377868-scammed-ibacklinks-org-2 html

I can't see those banners ever converting anyone anyway.

This thread is awesome.

thanks for sharing and congrats on your success story!

This thread rocks.

Herd mentality at it's best!

I was under the impression that Google doesn't like it when there are an abundance of affiliate links in a page. On my new site I'm cloaking most of them but leaving the buy on amazon uncloaked. I write my own reviews and link pictures, read more reviews, an amazon button, and one contextual link in every review. Any advice here? I haven't promoted it yet and I only have 3 reviews finished so I can't tell you anything about visitor behavior yet.

As soon as I saw this thread, I just started laughing. It's also funny that this forum changes the other forum of similar topics, blue fart world in the link lol. I didn't know they hated each other. Just trying to help, I hate scammers and virus spreaders, also been happening a lot lately. At least he wasn't taking money this time. He is behind the iBacklinks site, and I don't recommend it. Pretty much gave what they said, but wayyyyy overpriced, considering he just turns around and outsources fiverr gigs. Fun rant, thanks for your time.

it shouldn't be locked, it should stay so we can laugh at her haha check this out

Kendra Kiwi - Authors Articles - ArticlesBase.com

she took all the points from Erica Stone then posted stuff that doesn't make any sense lmao .. even as a scammer u couldn't do a better Photoshop job and make the $$ more and the conversion more? it seems they have no clue what amazon is about.. they just need backlinks

Btw OP next time u join a forum.. change ur name at least because its all over the web!

LOL @ this thread - When are people going to learn that posters using pics of a pretty young girl in their avatar are almost always a fake expert or some dude in his underwear gaming forums for their own gain. Great looking 19 year old girls ain't wasting their time discussing the finer points of affiliate marketing on forums. She certainly isn't the only guy on here pretending to be a good looking girl to build status and lord knows what else.

Thanks so much for sharing. I completely understand you don't want to be a ego maniac but I believe your post has helped motivate others!
