Always Learning, Never Earning

Yes it's that question I have heard many times before "how long until you start earning money" I know the answer so I'm not asking that but I've recieved an e-mail from Amazon saying that if I don't make a sale within 90 days they will close my account.

I'm in no rush to start earning but it would be nice to see it trickling in. I've only been here 3 months so I'm pretty much the baby of the family here but I can't help worrying about if they do cancel my account.

Would I need to change all my content with Amazon links, im guessing so.

It would be a lot of work I know but it would be easier to work a bit harder to make a sale now rather than change everything.

Hi Matthew, how much longer have you got as my sons are planing on buying Madden18 from Amazon but it would be after next weekend (9/10th Sept) and I am more than happy to go through your links for you. Do you have Amazon on your site at all or do I need to get a link from you to do it.

Just let me know one way or the other. xxxx

I have 90 days but I wasn't fishing for anything, I have a lot of Amazon links on my niche website so if it comes to it and hopefully it doesn't I'll just have to change them that's all.
Thank you very much for your kind offer though it is much appreciated :)

No problem, Matthew but let me know if you need help. xxx

Will do cheers :)

You're not alone Matthew. I got it too, lol!!

Although I won't have many link to change, it's still something that would be nice to prevent. BUT...I'm ok with it if that is what I have to do!

There are, what seems to be, better programs out there anyway that I 've been wanting to look more into. For example, the Viglink that JelenaBB just put out a training on today. It sounded awesome and well, guess who is one of their merchants? Yep. AMAZON! So no fret... it just may be a blessing in disguise :o).

Paula, I have two sons who have two different consoles so could do one through you and one through Matthew if you want. xxx

It's an option I suppose, but hopefully it won't come to that :/

Thank you for that offer! That was very kind and very thoughtful! :o) I do have 90 days too though, so we will see what happens.

Thanks again ツ

Set interim goals Matthew. If sales are nil or sluggish after 30 days for instance change your product mix. Research best selling products and go with the flow. This may have to be niche independent!!

Thanks for the advice :)

I think Amazon is working toward cutting us out anyway.

If thats the case I won't worry so much :)

Ugh. What a pain. They will be shutting me down soon as well. I think I have about 2 or 3 weeks left to make a sale.

I don't care so much about losing Amazon because I have been looking at alternate programs, but it's the changing of all my links that is annoying.

Me too! :o/ lol

Exactly!

Learning is great but then we should put the things we learned into action. Even it is not perfect it does not matter. I have for all my projects a 90-day goal and then I have to make money; if I don't honestly I lose interest to continue. Set out daily and weekly goals and see how much are you achieving.

I hear what you are saying, thanks :)

Hello Shwni ha ha ... You make me laughed but with a touch of truthfulness. I have been feeling the same. Hope you clicked the sale before Amazon closes the account.

Lol, thanks :)

Hi Matthew, just keep writing and working at it.You still have 90 days if I understand correctly, so it's still doable. I've found the more you add relevant and helpful content to your site, the better the traffic to it gets. More traffic means more likely a sale.

However, it's not too much of a worry if you don't make that sale either...just have to change all your links once you reapply there as BeauAndNik mentions. Keep working at it and I'm sure you'll make it in time!

Best Wishes :) ~Sherry

Thanks, yes it's 90 days so no need to stress as much yet

if they cancel your account you will need to change all your links. Lots of work but just part of what you gotta do!

That's what I thought :/ but hey, it's 90 days which is quite a lot
