[Successful Journey] Scaling Amazon Affiliate from $1000/m to $10k
Hey you, Have you ever wondered what it’d be like making $10k/ month Passive Income? I think about it all the time, continuously! But then when I talk to the people around me and online, one can’t help but be doubtful. 10k…? While you sleep? No ads or Shady business…? BS! Or maybe you’re being tricked into believing that it’s possible? Let’s face it… most journeys never end well or seem a bit fake due to the lack of evidence of success. I’ve always hated seeing people type their “supposed earnings” when the reality is far from what is shown. I’ve been one of those guys, I’ve made good money online. Done shady techniques, ran ads, and made a killing. But I’ve never gotten honest long term passive bread online that makes you feel good. All that changed December 2018 when I figured out exactly How to Successfully make Passive Income with Amazon. Trust me; this shit is simple and easier “TO ME” than any other method online. Moreover, it’s passive (conditional), and YOU can do it too! How? By working both Hard and Smart. Being Disciplined. Applying the right tactics. Rinse and Repeat. I’ve figured out steps 1 and 3 but that second step is why I’m not where I want to be and why I’ve created another journey. But I’ve learned from an insanely successful businessman and his number 1 philosophy. ” If you did it once you can do it ten times. If you can make $1, you can make $100.” Hence, I’ll be scaling my monthly passive income from $1000 – $10000 a month. This Journey isn’t an Ask Me Anything journey thread, but maybe you’ll learn something along the way. If anything, I hope that in my quest to stay disciplined and achieve my goals, you’ll work harder and see that you can do it too. And to the future me, you’ll be reading this a year later. Wherever you are right now is as a result of the things you did yesterday. Change! START I wonder if you focus on only easy keywords or jump on hard and link and give it a try? A mixture, I only go for low hanging fruits that my site “should” rank for without backlinks. So it might be an easy keyword or hard but if I think my site should be able to hit page 1 then I’ll go after it. What’s your backlink strategy? I’ve only done about 15 blog comments when I just started the site. I haven’t done any since and have only focused on easy to rank content. Whether you targeting key words with medium volume or high volume Low volume – Long tails. Minimum SV of 150 per month is the sweet spot. Highest I’ve gone after is 3500. How exactly are you going to scale – creating more sites from scratch? Yes, I have created site number 2 with a full site content map of 75 articles. How much have you invested so far? And is site 1 profitable yet? I’ve only paid for hosting, domain name and probably 5 articles? All in all about $400. Everything else from this site is profit and amazon is only one revenue source. I make a quarter of amazons earnings on commission junction per month. Update #1 The Journey has officially started with the ending of September. I was worried that a few items wouldn’t ship and the amazon revenue would fall short! Thankfully it didn’t otherwise this thread would be a joke lol. Note that I have earnings on other sites so i’m above $1000 but i’m only focusing on ama. I don’t know what October has in store in terms of revenue but I’ll be putting in as much work as I can on a daily basis. Yesterday I completed one article of 2500 words for site number 2. I’ll work on finishing the basic pages, creating socials and uploading that 1 article today. And hopefully, write 1 article for site 1 which is earning 1k at present. My overall goal is to write a minimum of 3k words a day and have that post uploaded immediately each day. Stats for Site 1: Articles: 60 Avg Word Count: 1700 Informative Posts: 25 Money Posts: 45 Stats for site 2: Articles: 1 Informative Posts: 0 Money Posts: 1 That’s it, off to work. How many pages actually make money? About 26 pages actually make money during each month so far. I’m trying to get a few more solid money pages ranking as 1 page, in particular, brings in 30-40% of my traffic and that’s never a good thing. So working on getting a few more pages like that. Update #1.2 I feel like I’m taking longer than necessary to get certain tasks done. I keep switching between tabs and loading up different youtube videos. WTF is it so hard to actually focus and work efficiently? Have you ever wished you could force your body to do what you wish? Like controlling a puppet? If anyone of you has a method to stay focus and finish tasks in a timely manner I’d love to hear how you do it. So far I’ve gotten up all the foundation pages Site 2 except for the “Start Here” page. I’m currently working on the verbiage for the category I’m starting with right now, afterward, I’ll upload the first post I created yesterday. The bad news is I have an article to write for site 1 and I haven’t started it yet. So with only 5 more hours left in my day, I’m behind schedule. Outstanding Things to do Create Social Pages for site 1 Write 2000 words for Site 1 Update #2 Yesterday was a fairly successful day with productivity. I created 8 pages for Site 2 – About us ( 500 words), Terms & Conditions, Affiliate Disclosure (300 words), Contact Us, 1 category page (700 words), Privacy Policy, and uploaded 1 Buying Intent article written the previous day. I’ve
