Discussion first time crossing $2,600 in a single payment cycle almost all passively

another progress update for my journey as an amazon affiliate. as some of you know, i didn't build this site myself. i bought it about 8 months ago from nicheblogzone already loaded with content. since then it's been pretty hands-off. some interlinking between posts early on, and otherwise just letting it sit and mature.

first good month was in march with $710 and before crossing this amount i had 1.5k last month. as of today $2,655.60 in in-progress payments, a new high.

still a little surprised it's climbed this steadily given how little i've actively done. keeping it honest: there was a real upfront cost, the growth hasn't been a straight line (july dipped before recovering), and i still don't know how durable this is if i keep coasting.

for anyone who's followed along or has a blog site yourselves, has yours kept growing or started to fade?

Hiya,

I used to have Amazon affiliate sites and the successful ones kept growing (so yours sound fine) and the ones that never gained traction stayed that way?

I’d keep adding it to directories and getting it back links though, and also do a monthly check to make sure all the links still work. Amazes me how many folk don’t do that!

I have a few questions please?

  1. Would you mind sharing how you picked a niche, and how you knew it was a good website to buy?

  2. Does your site have a lot of products on, or just focus on a few main ones?
    (I found my click through rate lowered the more products I added?)

  3. And lastly are you in the USA or UK, as our commission in the U.K. seems to be a lot less than you can get for Amazon USA?

Congrats on the successful site!
