journey

s and one of the

journey

s I started earlier this year is an

affiliate

marketing

blog or a specialized website that I am going to monetize or I am already monetizing with affiliate marketing. Those of you who have seen my previous videos, my previous

update

s, were wondering and asking me in the comments and in my email, Alex, how is your website, how are things going, are you making money or not. and what's the situation with this and all that, it's been a few months since my previous update and I decided to show you the results.

The first results. I have something to show you. I have already started making sales with this website. six months before I make my first sale, it's an absolutely normal period of time these days because Google takes on average about six months before it starts giving you attention, it starts giving you traffic if you start a new website, a brand on a site new. domain, it's absolutely normal, it's Google's so-called anti-spam policy, so in September, in fact, last month I

made

my first sale and I'll show you the screenshot, all the data, traffic reports, revenue report , the expense report too.

You will see how much total money I have spent so far and how much money I have earned so far. You will also see my website trends earnings traffic and I will reveal pretty much every detail of this website this journey starts to get interesting but before that if you want to start making money with affiliate marketing but don't know how to follow the links below this video in the description, you will find two links right there, the first link leads to a free course that I created myself for you where I show you how to create a website, how to publish content, how to start ranking on Google SEO optimization or all that, but the second link leads to free system training on the authority side.

This is the system that I used to educate myself and start ranking this very website that I'm going to review in this video, so without further ado, let's jump right over to my laptop and I'll show you all the numbers. all the reports from the beginning until this very moment and before we get to the most interesting part the income report let me show you a traffic report so you can have an idea of ​​the development of my website and as you can see this is the traffic from early 2020 in 2020 in January I registered the domain name but I haven't actually started publishing content, maybe the first article was around February, but consistently in, say, the first batch of articles I published only in April and you can Look, I started getting the first clicks right here in front of you, you can only see the traffic from Google because I am promoting my website also using Pinterest and some other social networks like Facebook and YouTube.

I only publish one. just video, but what we're interested in is actually Google traffic because Pinterest is all good, but it's mainly good for backlinks for now. I don't get much traffic from Pinterest so far because my content is not informational type content. but of the 30 or so articles I have published right now, about 28 are just affiliate type content, it's like best acts for xyz or article review type and as you can see, it started out nice. taking off closer to September around this time and as you can see right now it's really started to gain traction, of course the chart looks a lot more attractive than it actually is because I'm still getting it's like a weekly report.

I'm getting about 20. up to 30 clicks a week, not even daily, so it started to increase and even with so much traffic I already started making sales mainly because my content, as I just mentioned, is not informational content, but is focus exclusively on buyer intent keywords so people come to my articles they come to read my content they already have their wallet having their credit card in their hand they are ready to spend their money and they come to my article where I list the better products than what they are looking for and just choose from those five to ten products that I list in my article, they choose one of them and buy it immediately.

You will be amazed at the conversion rate as soon as they land on Amazon from my website. It will be surprised. I was surprised because I really didn't expect that if this continues like this, the income even though my average order value is quite low, around twenty dollars, the commissions that I will get with the Amazon affiliate associate program. It's going to be pretty distant, but not yet guys, before I show you all the expenses for this website from the beginning, let me show you the income report, the Amazon Associates Amazon Associates Program dashboard for this website, so In front of you is the report. since the beginning of this year but the first months until September, do not pay attention to these clicks because these clicks were mainly done by me when I published content adding affiliate links and I was clicking on these links to check if No, they are working and unfortunately , Amazon Associates.

The affiliate program report tracks these links. I'm not sure if there is a feature to exclude my own links from tracking, but I haven't found it, so yeah, actual stats. I can only count probably September October in October for sure 100 I haven't clicked, probably a single link, maybe three to five when I was reviewing some products because some products that I reviewed are no longer available on Amazon and I'm not. I'm a little confused right now if I should remove them and replace them with the new products that are available or if I should keep them for now maybe they will restock again on Amazon.

I'm not sure I do. See how it goes and as you can see, in total I

made

11, so pretty much yeah, in September I made my first sale. It was a person who ordered a couple of items and I made my first dollar in September, but in October he started picking up. I raised and made another $6.86 so far. Today is October 25, but I decided to record the report. This report today without waiting until the end of October, since it has been a few months since the last update of my return and in total I won. eleven dollars, one more item will be shipped, so it will most likely cost $12, but the conversion rate is not this.

Let me change to October so you see the pure months of October without my personal clicks but pure clicks from My website according to customers the conversion rate is 22 so of all the people who click on my affiliate link on my website and they come to Amazon, 22 of them are buying something on Amazon, obviously thanks to Amazon cookies, even if they don't buy the product I recommend, but they buy something else on Amazon within the next 24 hours . I still receive the commission, so this is the exact power of Amazon. So yes, it is true that Amazon reduced its commission even further in April of this year. and the average commission is one to four point five percent across all niches and yes, I mean that is a ridiculously low amount of commission percentage compared to other affiliate programs, but if you calculate the conversion rate of other programs of affiliates especially from physical products, then their conversion rate is on average two to five percent and, yes, they may offer not three percent, for example, but five, maybe seven percent, to some of them like 10 to 12 percent, but the conversion rate, your conversion rate, kills everything and just because of the conversion rate and half of the population already has accounts on Amazon and can order things with two clicks Without even taking your credit card out of your pocket, without having to register on Amazon, you can just do two clicks and order the items that I promote and that I recommend to you converts like crazy, so for now I am happy with the affiliate program of Amazon Associates, I'm obviously going to need a lot more traffic than I'm getting now and let me remind you that in October I'm going to stop I switched to month and in October I got 90 visitors to make almost 10 dollars so I get about 10 cents per visitor and if I want to make 1000 per month then I need 10,000 visitors per month so I can get to 1000 per month now guys let's move on to expenses and I'll show you how much money I've spent so far obviously you've seen how much money I've made up to this point but it's only going to continue to grow and growing and growing.

As of right now, the total amount I have spent so far on this website is 2108 and you can see here that the vast majority of this amount counts content. The first batch of articles cost me so much money, there were only 10 articles, but they were very long and I spent from June to October a lot more money on content, because yes, right now I have about 30 articles, 31 articles and I published about 27 28, so I have like three, four more articles to publish, and yeah. In total there are 1.6,000. I spent only on content. 209 I spent on backlinks too.

I mentioned before that I was paying for niche edits and content, as well as to place those guest posts to get those backlinks to my website. I also spent some money on infographics about the logo on the pins, I bought more pins, uh, for more content last month, as I mentioned before, I only made 11, but as I just said, from now on I decided to take a break so as not to spend more money, maybe I'll order another batch of pins uh to post on my pinterest account uh to create more links to my new articles, but from now on I want to wait just wait because I have enough backlinks leading to my website.

You know my new articles would rank because my last 10 15 articles target keywords and keyword phrases with virtually no existing competition. I specifically decided to write and publish articles targeting these keywords without competition. Firstly testing how much traffic they would bring to my website and it will be extremely easy to run, Google just needs time to run those articles so now they are indexed on Google but Google is not running them even in the top 100. It just takes time. They are too recent. I posted them, I think, last month. and let's see how it goes, what I want to do with this website and in the future, so this month I already did 11, obviously it won't be enough to even order a single article, but I think from this moment onwards.

In the future, I will make more and more money as my content matures and ranks even higher and starts generating even more traffic and more sales, and what I plan to do, I plan to spend the money that I will get from this website on content into more content and the more money I will get the more content I will publish and I want to get to the first 50 articles and then maybe even more and I will see how it goes from now on because up until this point I was spending my own money that came from other projects, but from now on I want to keep this website, let's say autonomous, and reinvest the money I will make from this website into more content to scale the amount of money I will make. and the more money I get, the more content I'll put out and even the more money I'll get from this and then eventually when I reach, let's say, a thousand dollars a month or even less than that, maybe even 500 a month.

I will only spend half of the money and the rest of the money I will save and you know, maybe invest it in other products, projects, forgive me just as a reminder, I built this website thanks to Gail Bretton's authority sites system. and mark webster, you can find their free training by following the link below this video, in the description is the akila uh course system that they provide to you, unlike the rest of the courses that you can find online, the system side of the Authority is a highly structured system. so if you are a total beginner you can follow step by step, they provide you with all the spreadsheets, all the analytical tools, a step by step system that you cannot get lost in, especially if you are a beginner you can simply follow step by step step and achieve success, but if you are an experienced marketer, for example, I consider myself an experienced marketer because before this website I already had two or three websites ranking on Google and making money, and I thought I knew that. all this and I had nothing to learn anymore, but I was totally wrong, I was absolutely wrong and I learned a lot of things from the system on the authority side, so honestly, my genuine recommendation to you if you want to start developing authority. websites and start making money with affiliate marketing by writing content and ranking content on Google, then authority sites system is the one.
