Success - 1,200 Percent Conversion Rate on Amazon, Plus Adsense Update
Last Update: January 03, 2017
I decided to check my Amazon Associates and Google Adsense accounts tonight, and to my delight, both had accumulated more earnings since the last time I checked them.
Yesterday (January 2nd), one person bought 12 items on Amazon, and currently 7 of them have been shipped. So far I've earned $2.29, but we'll see what it ends up as once the remaining 5 items ship.
With Google Adsense, I finally passed the $10 mark! I only have two ads on my site - one at the top of the right sidebar, and the other in the footer. They seem to be converting pretty well for the amount of traffic I get though (around 10 visitors per day).
Unfortunately I'll have to wait quite a while before I can cash out my Adsense earnings, since the minimum payout threshold is $100. But hey, that just motivates me to work hard in order to get there soon!
Wishing you all a super successful twenty-seventeen!

Yay! I have a question for you. Do you use anything other than adsense on sites? Like Chitika or Buysellads.com

Creating websites is extremely fun! Especially when the money starts trickling in. ;).

Yeah, you could say I'm addicted to creating websites as well. Read my profile if you haven't already.... :)
I'm by no means a WP expert, nor have I developed any themes or plugins. Definitely something I'd like to pursue in the future though. First I need to improve my programming skills. :) I can, however, make WordPress do some pretty cool stuff with the right plugins...but anyone can do that if they tinker around long enough and have a good knowledge of the various plugins available.

That's a tough question to answer. It really depends on the website - what functionalities I need to make it work how I want. If you need more specific information/help with choosing a plugin for a project, feel free to let me know and I'll do my best to help you out. :)

Oh hey, so I go away, read a couple tutorials, and I thought of a plugin question. Do you know of a good related products/related items plugin? Ever had success with those before? I mean I kknow about YARPP, but that's for posts. Anyway, thanks so very much for your help! I hope you're still doing awesome!

To be honest, I've never needed to use a related products plugin so I have not done any research on them. However, a quick Google search reveals many good-looking options. :)

I completely understand, it's always great to get the opinion of an experienced user. Be sure to read the reviews and look at the options each plugin offers. The negative reviews should reveal the potential downsides of the plugin. :)

I think it depends on the niche. Some niches, like the "make money online" niche for example, should NOT have adsense. But others, like stamp collecting (my niche), can benefit greatly with adsense.
I would say that for the majority of niches, it's best to only use affiliate links. You can test the two, and find out which one works best for your niche. It's really impossible to know which one is better unless you do split testing.
Hope this helps.

Hey I'm up to 83 cents! LOL Congrats on your $10+ and your Amazon sales!! That's so cool that customer ordered so many things and that's what's great about that program, you earn on everything they buy in the 24 time frame. :)

Congrats on your success! :)
I love Amazon. I just checked today, and now 10 of the 12 items have shipped. I'm up to $3.29, with two more items to go. :)

Hi and we'll done. My 2 adsense ads are also yielding small amounts with hardly any traffic but no luck with Amazon yet although finally last week I have 2 click conversions.
From little acorns, mighty oak trees grow and it looks like 2017 will be our year.
Great news n thanks for sharing. It's good to see people at a similar place to myself.

Hey Makki,
You're right, I was hard at work, but not on my stamp site. For a while I was working on other websites, but finally settled down to building a Bootcamp website. My goal is to make a full-time income from it by next year (I know, this is gonna take some SERIOUS work).
However, some awesome ideas for my stamp site are brewing in my head, and at some point I'll roll out a massive update which should really establish it as an authority. :)
