Amazon Associates Earnings June 2012

May 2012 Amazon Associate Earnings

This Month Total: $1,921.39
Last Month Total: $1,892.62
Difference: $28.77


Alhamdulillah, another good month for me as my earnings almost hit $2,000.

  • As at current I have 3 main site that giving me most of my earnings. I called them Site ASite B and  Site C
  • Most of my earnings are from my main site that I called Site A. As per previous months, my Site A consistently getting traffics from one particular referral site namely redgage.com. Organic search are mostly coming from Yahoo and Bing. And a very minimum organic search from Google.
  • My Site B is getting better in term of traffic and sales conversion. But there are still many contents to create for this site as I believe this Site B is still under develop. I'm still targeting for this Site B to bring good earnings by holiday season in November and December this year, In shaa'Allah. This month of June this Site B managed to earn $109.39 compared to $40.10 in May 2012.
  • I created Site C, as a spin off from my Site A. Same theme but with different product models. I created Site C to take advantage by creating a new website with new template, latest plugin and others. Currently this site is a second biggest earner for me after Site A. This month of June this site C managed to earn $345.35 compared to $98.28 in May 2012.

Above is the main Top 6 traffic sources in June, 2012 for my main Site A. Some other traffic sources are not depicted above.

As can be seen from the snapshot above, the main source is still www.redgage.com as per previous months

Distribution of Earnings

1. My Own Domain. Paid Hosted or Free Hosted
  • Income Percentage: 91.8% ($1,763.89) from my total earning in June 2012
  • Currently I have a few sites under this category . I'm using wordpress as the platform and hosted at Hostmonster.com. This is for paid hosting.
  • For free hosting I'm using blogspot.com and wordpress.com
2. Third Party Site
  • Income Percentage: 8.2% ($157.50) from my total earning in  June 2012
  • I'm using third party site to promote amazon products. Among the sites that I'm using are squidoo.com , Hubpages.com, usfreeads.com and redgage.com
  • My articles in usfreeads.com contribute the largest ( $72.61) in this income.
Be Inspired
  • I really like reading Pat's income report from www.smartpassiveincome.com every month, educational and inspiring. Here his Monthly Report – May 2012 which he earned a total of $58,102.08 
Content Outsourcing
  • I tried a site called www.iwriter.com for hiring writer to write contents. Based from my first completed project, I find the site easy to navigate and the quality of the article produced is quite good. And the turnaround is quite fast too.
  • The best thing I like about the site is the ability for us to reject the written content if we are not satisfy with the result. And a new content will be written until we really satisfy and approved the article.
  • So, you may just want to check out if you need new article for your site and do not have much time to write on your own. 
As I learning more in making money as an Amazon Associates, I will definitely share it more in this blog. I hope to be able to produce more targeted contents that can benefit more people in their journey as an Amazon Associate in the future. In shaa'Allah.
