Should I Feel Concerned?
I received an email from Amazon a few days ago letting me know that I only have 90 days to sell at least 3 items through my website. I don't even have real traffic yet. I feel that I have been following the training exact, but I am still not getting traffic let alone any sales. So, I ask...Should I feel concerned?

Lesa, no, that's the reply everyone gets from Amazon. If you don't sell anything in 90 days they will suspend your account. You can reapply and you will get another 90 days.

No, don't worry about it. They let you reapply anytime. There is no penalty or waiting period as far as I have heard. Just keep working and if you need to reapply then it is no big deal and the clock just restarts.
I have found that requesting comments through Site Comments and the Comment thread here is a good way to boost the rank of my posts. Having them ranked higher in the search engines means more people can find them and therefore you will get more traffic.

I think you do. I am not sure though.
I left a comment on your coffee post. Your post was fun to read.
Christmas is coming! I know this is all ultimately about online traffic but can you can also use other (less techy) ways to get people to buy things through your website that they would otherwise have done directly through Amazon? Especially as it is just to make 3 sales. How about asking your close personal network to follow your links to buy their Christmas presents and help you out?
Gotta be careful with that one - Amazon has automated the "finding-your-contacts" process, and they disallow credit for the sale. I found this out the hard way. It's all in the fine print of their agreement...
Me too, as is Amazon, in a self-serving, heavy-handed sort of way... Can't blame them, though - who wouldn't want a small discount on everything they buy on Amazon?
I would try to avoid having to reapply, work on getting that traffic to your site. I am using the Amazon banner ad too
i just heard about the banner ad a few days ago I will be implementing that soon. So any suggestions on how to get traffic to my site? I am in the social media training in course four. I am a newbie, and according to my understanding I have followed the training exact, searching QSR etc.
I'm getting some traction with Facebook, I post and share all my articles on my Facebook business page and include links to my website. I am going to push Instagram and Twitter with similar effort. At the same time, I am exploring youtube.
Sounds great, like I said I'm new to all of this so hopefully as I finish the social media part of the training I'll be getting traffic.
As you progress, learn and apply you will generate more traffic.
Have faith and keep moving fwd, 90 days is 3 months, even if you don't get the Amazon Sales, like Craig stated, it is no big deal. You can always reapply - Don't forget, there are also a ton of other great Affiliate programs to choose from.
All the best,

Paying for Traffic on Bing & Yahoo You would have to take the whole Phase 6 training of the Affiliate Bootcamp to get the whole idea of PPC on a budget and proper keywords.
OK. After that keep going step-by-step at the Affiliate Bootcamp as there is still a lot of education.
