I just logged into my Amazon Affiliate account and was pleased to notice that back on Sept 22 I made my first affiliate marketing commission!

It was not even for a product I promote on my website. Someone who clicked on my link ended up buying another product. It was a thermometer, so the commission was small.

The fact that it happened though is cool.

I just started monetizing my website last month so I am hoping for growth in the future.

Here is to our success 🥂

I just came across your post and had to say—it’s so encouraging to read this, especially for those of us still waiting for that first sale. I love how you described the journey and the feeling of seeing all your hard work pay off. That first sale really is a powerful moment!

Congrats, Mark! 👍 👏

You can sell quite a few unrelated products on Amazon. 😎

Congrats Mark! The first sale is always an important milestone. You've proven to yourself that you can attract visitors, and create content that helps and informs them enough to visit your affiliate link and make a purchase.

Great stuff and here's to the next commission!

Thanks Michael

Doesn't matter if it was big or small, the only thing that matters is that it happened! You will always remember this - what was sold, how much it cost, what you earned. It's proof of concept! This does work, now you'll just go make it bigger.

Congratulations!!!

Yes. Thanks. I have 33 posts on my website and so far only put in a couple of links on two of them. I am going to get to work on adding many more.

Even more satisfying than the commission is knowing that someone found my post and read it. That’s cool.

That is indeed very cool.

Awesomeness!!

Hey Mark, It does make you feel like all the work is worth it. But that is the beauty of the way Amazon wants it to work, not matter what they buy in 24 hours is yours.

Great News

Rob

Too bad she didn’t buy a tv or computer
