0:00
Associates payment waiting for me of
0:05
let's check how I earn with Amazon
0:07
Associates and what you can expect from
0:08
it. So, this year, actually uh this
0:11
month, I've earned $2.17.
0:14
Before we were able to actually track
0:18
to see which products were ordered and
0:20
even if it was not the product selling,
0:23
we would know what the clients ordered.
0:25
Now, we don't have this option anymore.
0:27
So, if we go to Amazon Affiliate, to the
0:28
consolidated summary, all I can do is
0:31
change the date range. So, here it is
0:33
just for this quarter.
0:35
I can change the currency if I want to,
0:37
but that's all. That's all I can do. I
0:39
can only know which store ID um makes
0:46
That's really all we can do and it's a
0:48
little frustrating because we used to
0:50
have more options. We can see what money
0:53
was made off Amazon or all or on Amazon
0:56
or when it is working. So, right now it
0:58
is not the case. It's not working.
1:00
And the reports is actually uh becoming
1:05
Now, if we go to reports tab and we see
1:07
the summary. So, here I will choose the
1:11
30 I I will choose this quarter again.
1:17
select this quarter, apply.
1:19
You can also choose a custom date range.
1:21
And here what we can see.
1:24
Uh so, in a green we can see the
1:26
earnings, in red the clicks, and in
1:28
yellow the ordered items.
1:30
So, if we uh if we have a look here, for
1:36
I have a lot of clicks and nothing
1:38
And here I have not much clicks. On
1:40
average, I generate, let's say, 15
1:42
clicks a day. On that day I had
1:45
42 clicks and three ordered items. From
1:48
these ordered items, the
1:50
next day I earned $1.79.
1:53
And again, a lot of clicks, but no sale.
1:56
And um here later, if we go further,
1:59
here I have on that day 26 clicks and 38
2:03
cents earnings from one ordered item.
2:06
But, there is no way to know exactly
2:11
what was ordered. I can only know
2:16
store, so which tracking code that I
2:19
created generated these orders. If I
2:22
have a look here, for example, on this
2:24
period, one quarter, I generated nearly
2:32
So, the conversion rate is 0.05%.
2:36
So, think about it, if you drive 1,000
2:40
actually, in my case, 2,000 clicks equal
2:45
1,000 2,000 clicks, one ordered item,
2:48
around $25 revenue for Amazon.
2:51
And, an earning of 50 cents for me, on
2:54
average. So, if you manage to make this
2:56
volume, that's what you can expect, at
2:58
least that's what I got in my
3:00
experience. And then, you can check the
3:02
link products by clicks, and it used to
3:05
work to explain you where you earn
3:07
money. Now, we can't really see that
3:09
anymore, it's pretty poor. But, just to
3:11
give you an idea, so here the ordered
3:14
items that generated the most revenue
3:23
a lavalier microphone, because I made a
3:25
lot of content about using a microphone,
3:29
and someone used this link. It doesn't
3:31
mean they ordered this specific product,
3:33
but they went on Amazon starting from
3:35
this link, and later they probably
3:38
bought something. Actually, I don't
3:41
I have no idea which exact click
3:43
generated the earnings. The report is
3:46
very, very poor now. It's very difficult
3:48
to understand what works and what
3:52
for your affiliate links.
3:55
if you click further,
3:58
you can select the countries
4:02
and see the rate plan. So, here are the
4:04
commission rates and that's why it is so
4:07
low. So, in my case, people ordered for
4:10
nearly $100 of products on Amazon and I
4:13
got $2. So, on average 2%. So, if we
4:17
have a look at the commission rate, it
4:18
was mostly in home entertainment
4:21
category. So, maybe TV video game
4:25
Actually, I guess it might have been
4:26
also here in computer, tablet, and
4:28
components, which might include
4:31
electronics related to to microphones.
4:34
So, this is what you can expect from
4:36
Amazon Associates. Unfortunately, the
4:39
rates are low and with the conversion
4:41
are low and with a lot of clicks, you
4:43
probably generate little affiliate
4:45
commission. But still, it's better than
4:47
other platforms because Amazon
4:50
is well-known and has the customer's
4:51
trust. If you promote another store, you
4:54
also have to earn the customer trust
4:56
because they might not trust the shop
5:00
and be more reluctant to buy. So,
5:03
check Amazon Associates and
5:07
creating affiliate commission.
