What Commission Growth Looks Like
Hey there!
I've been going back and forth about sharing this but I guess I'm going to share it now but I might get nervous and delete it later so you better read it quick, lol!!
I know there's a lot of new people in this community everyday and some who have been here for a while but aren't getting results...so I thought sharing this might help give you some encouragement.
Please do not steal my results, make your own. I couldn't open the web-photo editor because my connection is that slow right now...Yes...My connection is THAT slow... #countrylivin...
The only thing is, I can't bring up all the 'zero dollar' months that came before this.
The importance of sharing these particular results is for a few reasons. Actually, this account was originally closed beccause I didn't make enough sales.
So there's technically a bunch of zero months before these results. It came active suddenly when one of my posts that didn't rank all of a sudden gained traction.
That's where these results begin, December 2017, $10 and the account reactivateed. I had no idea that it COULD reactivate like that but it did apparently.
So now I have two Amazon Associate accounts and these results are from the one site so I can show you stats and progress for one site.
Of course, results vary so you can probably even do better than these if you work hard. And if you're not don't feel bad and compare. Your time will come too.
There is also another 'zero month' for January when I started working on it more. For 4 months I worked on it with little earnings and I wondered if I was wasting my time.
No, I decided to stick with it. In May, you can see a HUGE jump from $86 to overe $300! Completely flew passed a hundred and two hundred dollars.
So the moral of the story is not to give up just because you're not seeing immediate results. Also, note that the domain's one year bday is April and I still wasn't making over $100.
My very first site I didn't make more than $12 before I quit and I really really really should have stuck with it. I could go back and bite myself for quitting but hopefully you take my advice and just stick to the process.
Don't focus on earnings or traffic. Focus on creating quality content and helping others solve their problems.
Hope this helps :)

Fantastic Success!!
Everybody who doubts this program take note here!
It works and you quitters could be sitting on 500.00 extra dollars a month.
As Marlinda said, when it gets traction it grows quickly. I wonder how long before she's making $2,000 or even $5,000 a month?
Keep up the great work Marlinda, and I'm with you 100%. Focus on good content and helping others. The money will follow!!

It takes real courage to post results that are not those form super affiliates. I appreciate you posting this so that some of us can compare our results, as our websites start to build momentum, to your results in a comparison to benefit us.
Thanks again,
Calvin
I didn't post for comparison's sake, I just want everyone to see what is possible. I think you can make money a lot faster than I did especially since the site set for months without being worked on.
Individual results will always vary.
Glad to know this info helped,
Marlinda
Maybe I worded that wrong not so much as a comparison of how you did to how I am doing. But more of a guide on how the site gains momentum over time when worked.
Oh I am fully a where that every site is different, every niche is different, and every website owner has a different degree of commitment to working their site, so competition and other factors play a huge roll on how profitable a website can be.
I think it will become useful as my WA sites develop,
Thanks again,
Calvin
Just wondering how many posts you had at the 12 month mark, and now?
Thank you once again
Thank you for your support and I'm glad you found value in this info.
I have not been working on this site for the entire 12 months. I wrote 1 review when I created the site and then nothing between April (the first post) and December (the post ranked and started making sales)
Between January and now the site has 28 posts. I tend to write 2 posts per week on average.
One promo and one complimentary post to the promo (that directs visitors to the promo post)
Hope this helps :)

I have an Amazon account that has been closed too because of not making enough sales (on a website that I put aside for now).
One thing I did realize the other day was that all of the products that were there on my site, even though my account is closed, are still showing, so I learned something new today. :)
I will leave them there, and maybe the account will reactivate by itself one day too!! lol
Thanks for sharing your experience with us! Every little bit counts!

It's amazing to see commissions grow!! I reached my $100+ milestone in July, and since then it's slowly been growing to $150+, $250+, $300+ (August). Can't believe I was putting off Amazon for so long.
... (Here I was typing a question here about Amazon pre-order Amazon associates: do you get paid for pre-order items? but then saw your comment on that Amazon question lol.)
I always felt like people want to see big numbers but I realize that the 'smaller' numbers are good too because it feels more like you can do it and less overwhelmed or discouraged.
I'm glad that you found inspiration in this. I really am so nervous to share but it means a lot that you and otherss are inspired to keep going.
Keep up the good work :)
Marlinda
