How He Earned $119,725 from the Amazon Associates Program
Darren Rowse over at ProBlogger has a great post today about the things he has learned promoting Amazon products on his blog. Amazon is not his biggest earner, but has provided significant income and he shares some great tips he learned along the way. This is post #1 in a 3 part series.
I have earned $119,725.45 from Amazon Associates Program since I began using it as a way to make money online late in 2003. Around half of that amount was made within the last 12 months.
In this post I want to share what I’ve learned along the way on how to make money with Amazon.
While Amazon’s Associates program is not my largest income stream… it was actually the first experiment that I did with monetizing blogs. I began to experiment with it in the last quarter of 2003 (just before I started using AdSense).
What do you think???

He must be quite good at internet marketing in order to make that large amount of money through selling products from a company that offers such low commission rates. Props to him for his success though.
Thanks Linda for passing this along. These articles are great for new people, like myself, who are trying to figure out the correct way to format their pages or to see how someone who is successful does it. There is no reason to reinvent the wheel so if this helps anyone have to do less experimenting to see what works then is it worth the 15 minutes of reading.
I'm not surprised that it took him a long time to be successful; from experience and researching, I know that online marketing business is not just an over night success. It took him 6 years to finally earn that big amount of income, but very happy for him to finally have a big break from all the years that he invested his times in. Once again, thank you for the articles, I will try to pass this on.

I am really glad I came across this post, I have to bookmark this. I think Darren's article is dead on. Noticed how he said his biggest earnings were in December. I have been doing Amazon for a while now, and I have done pretty good, but I dont have the experience he has, nor do I put that much time into it, and I know the potential is there. Amazon is one of the largest online retailers, with every product you can imagine. No doubt. And I will be hitting it hard this year

He's got some good info there. I've been considering concentrating more on Amazon's affiliate program, since Ebay (EPN) seem to have screwed the pooch with their new Quality Click Pricing payment model.
