29 Sales in One Day!

I woke up this morning and checked my Amazon Associates account as I do first thing each morning and was pleasantly surprise to see I had made 27 sales yesterday.  I had also made 2 sales via Affiliate Windows. 25 of those sales came from one site.

That was my best day so far.  It will be interesting to see how much commission this gets me.  I have estimated it to be £22 but that is not included and direct link bonuses from Amazon Assoicates.

Hopefully this will see me reach my target for this month of £200.

    wow, congrats on the massive spike, I had the same with one of my sites, untill another affiliate came along and squeezed me out of the niche. I’m guessing these were all approved sales? If not you might be counting sales that might later get rejected, amazon is crap like that.

    Did you track down who the other affiliate was? I’d be gutted if that happened!

    No, these weren’t despatched orders. Hope they all go through!

    That’s fantastic. Were they all from the PPC effort or the organic SEO. I must say that if you have similar 3-4 more websites then you will start making a minimum of 100 a £day. ;)

    How old is the website?

    All from organic SEO. It was definitely a blip as it doesn’t make that many sales normally.

    £100 a day would be amazing but I’m a long way off from that. Am more like £5 a day at the moment. My goal for the near future is to get £16 per day which is £500 per month.

    It is one of my first sites so would be from February this year.

    Thats really nice. Though its really good to have multiple sources of revenue as you just cant rely on Google. I hope you don’t mind me asking the conversion rate (visitors to sale).

    Google is the main search engine to I SEO my sites for Google. What other sources should I be looking at?

    I think the conversion rate is about 5% but it varies day to day. I will do some in-depth stats when I have more data

    Congratulations, it’s impressive to see how far you have come in such a short amount of time :)

    Has your atomic niche site had much traffic?

    Social marketing in the form of twittering, facebook might help you get some potential buyers but it very much depends on what you are trying to sell.

    Thats some good numbers for one day, the trick is turning that ‘one off’ spike into a steady stream.

    @mac-geek, Thanks. Not much no, its on page one in Google but near the bottom. Not sure what I can do to get it ranked higher; backlinks I guess!

    @Mike, perhaps, from what I’ve heard it doesn’t lead to much. Google will do for now seeing as it has an OK share in the search engine market.

    @David, yes, that is the aim. The following day didn’t quite match it with only five sales!

    yeah i know the real name of said affiliate but there’s not much i can do about it, tbh, its just an unfortunate incedent, such is the nature of free market, I’ll jsut have to work harder to get the site ranking above his!

    any luck with the approvals of those orders?

  • Jun 29th, 2009 at 17:11 | #12

    I guess so, all is fair in love and war.

    All of the orders went through. I’ve only ever had a few refunds/cancelled orders with Amazon.
