Knock me down with a feather – another £50 day
Another good day in the run up to Christmas. Yesterday I tweaked my Adwords ads and updated some of my ECUs that were pointing to out of stock merchants and today I have a lower PPC spend and have made more commission.
Break down goes a little something like this:
- Awin: £42
- Amazon: £26
- Adwords: £14
- Profit: £54
Obviously these are all pending but I’ve not had many rejections so far (touch wood) and PPC spend isn’t in sync with sales as there are time zone issues afoot but overall it looks positive.
I’d love to spend today checking my sites and setting up some new campaigns but as regular reader may know I recently started a new part-time day job. Although the job is only one day a week it also takes a full day to prepare so unfortunately today and tomorrow will be affiliate marketing free apart from the odd bit of stolen time. I am quite gutted as I only get £35 for the day of work (which actually takes two days) and I could earn more than that from Internet marketing but its not all about the money right?
Are you getting these from more micro nieche sites? Or have you developed your ‘bigger’ site?
Micro niche. Just for one product. Site has an ECU on comparing the prices.
£50 a day is fantastic Joe, well done!
I was thinking about a post that Affi mate on the A4U forum months ago about building a site that was at a certain stage of the buying process/cycle.
For example a niche about ‘widgets’ is normally too vague, however something like ‘dark blue widget’ or even a model number is right at the other end of the buying cycle. This is why I think micro niches are the way forward (for me anyway)! At the micro niche level the shopper will have their credit card to hand and might be ready to buy because they have narrowed down their choice to probably a few products.
I do like the micro niche sites but there are still a lot of factors that can get in the way of a sale even when the user has the model number and their credit card out such as which merchant you try and send them to, delivery times, delivery costs etc
Even the lowest priced merchant can put people off with a poor site or unattractive terms and conditions.
I’ve noticed on one of my single product sites with a price comparison unit that when a particular merchant is cheapest I get a few sales but when another merchant is cheapest I still get the clicks through but no sales.
This makes picking a good product to promote even harder.
