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 :)

Hey Marlinda! Congrats on your success!

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!

Thanks and I'm glad you found value in this info. I hope that yours do better too but you can also just apply for another ID for other sites. Keep up the good work :)

Thanks for sharing Marlinda. Jim

Thanks for reading Jim! :)

Thanks for sharing your journey.

Is this from Amazon only?

Thanks for reading :) Yes, this is Amazon only. I've been wanting to get away from amazon but in this particular niche its the best option and I don't have enough traffic for ads to be worth it.

Awesome work Marlinda, I've just started and your results are really motivating, thanks.

Awesome! Welcome and I'm glad this info gave you some motivation :) Keep up the good work,
Marlinda

Hi Marlinda! Thanks for being open and sharing your stats. You mentioned that your 1 year anniversary was in April. Are you referring to the April where you made almost $87?

Hey Tiffany!
Yes, April I made $87 was the site's 1 year anniversary. I created it April 2017 but it set for a few months with no work done to it and I've been working on it consistently since January 2018.

O. I understand. I was thinking you must have really had discipline to keep going after a whole year of work and $87. It makes more sense that you weren't actively working on it.

Thanks for sharing, It looks like you have hit the point where you are on you way for more potential growth. Great job.

Great to see you laying that track Marlinda

Thanks Mike :)

Not sure tjat I understand the figures Marlinda. I see the same figure twice, once in red, the other in black. NOt sure how to interpret it and then it says advertising fees/direct deposit.
Thank you for sharing anyhow. It encourages me who am yet to see any income.

Black it's the fees Marlinda earned with Amazon, red are the fees that were sent from her Amazon account to her bank account (or cheque if outside of US).

Thank you for the explaination Zarina.

Yes, Zarina is right. Sorry for the confusion, there's no way to filter the results. Thanks for your question and keep up the good work :)

Thanks for getting this for me :)

WOO HOO!

Thanks :)

Congrats Marlinda!! :)

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 but then saw your comment on that Amazon question lol.)

Nice! Congratulations and keep up the good work :) You're doing awesome!
