Another Commission and I think my first sale on Amazon KDP

Last week I published a blog to say that I had 2 new affiliate commissions. I've had 2 more since last week. Not sure from what product or what content but this makes it $102 this month. I think I am going to keep my target at $50 that I'd be happy to earn next month but this month is not over yet so good reason to keep working.

Also, got an email this morning your Amazon KDP royalty payment should arrive in your bank in 2-5 days. Its a bit odd because my reports are not showing any sales but anyway I've got 2 ebooks on Amazon at the moment. Probably my cue to get to work on another one I think. Still very reliant on eBay sales but this is good news.

4 different income streams (5 with ezoic ads but that is nothing).

In terms of my blog not sure what I'm doing. I think I need to try find out what products have been bought from my affiliate links to try narrow it down but cranking the content out. Work, work, work. But something must be working so onwards and upwards. I think I really need to get lead generation sorted next probably my weak area but everything a work in progress really.

Anyway, thought I would share a quick blog about this for anyone that's struggling wondering if all this time blogging is worth it. Been asking this myself but clearly this can a stream of revenue that you can build. I would give some more direct advice but not sure what I am doing that is working but something is by looks of things.

Congratulations, Alex. Affiliate marketing really works. The real key is to have many income streams.

I have to implement this and also have a way to track incoming revenues.

All the best and don't ever give up.

Kindly,
Maxine :)

Thanks Maxine yes hope this can continue and improve currently my main source of income is eBay but the plan is to grow my passive income streams in the background. At the moment it seems that at least 2 posts are making me money but hoping this will become more consistent and I can start earning from other posts too. But who knows this could be a one off but I think it's 6 or 7 conversions now so perhaps not. Will be curious to see my report for next week I think.

Hello Alex

This is amazing news and congratulations on sales and commissions! This means your hard work is paying off and more sales and commissions will follow.

As for seeing what products were bought have you checked the reports in your account for the affiliate programs you used? If you added a custom ID for each affiliate link you should be able to see what made you the commissions.

I hope this helps you and keep up the great work. Building and running an online business is a lot of work but it is worth it in the end. Thank you for sharing and this has given me a some inspiration and a confidence boost to keep going with my online business .This was just what I needed today.

I wish you good luck and all the best with your website and your online business. I look forward to hearing about more of your progress and seeing your success. All the best to your success.
