Case Study Earning Report November 2007
December 1, 2007
The best way to make an earning report is doing it monthly instead of weekly “statistics”. Here is my earning report of the Case study that you are following since it started.
Commission Juction: $121.19

I have encounter more difficult to make money with Commission Juction in a new site than Amazon (You will know why). But it is not bad earning $121.19 with a new site really! I am very shocked how Social Networking can really get some you some customers to your site. I am sure that when Coupon Codes Mall is ranking well in search engines it will do better than this.
Amazon: $1327.56

As you can see Amazon Affiliate program is my best shot this month. But you have to take into consideration the Months using Amazon. On November and December Amazon has the busiest month and people are ‘hungry’ to buy stuffs from there. Is really amazing how many people buy from that online store. I am glad that I started this case study on the best time of the year.
I will try to monetize Coupon Codes Mall Dot com with contextual advertising but that is for sure next year. I will try to get the maximum profits from the “Holiday” season. Thinking to add Google Adsense and trying to find the best contextual advertising (pay per click) for shopping sites.
Sometimes I get desesperated about to build more backlinks but want to make it slowly and try to get backlinks natural. But for that I really need to make a plan for linkbait and is really difficult to me to think “out of the box” when this is a niche that I am new and I am in the learning process.
This month have been very hard in the Affiliate program point of view. Have been a lot of problems Domain name problem, CJ and Amazon problem and some people trying to make it more difficult (like reporting to digg some lies). But when you are in this type of business you will encounter a lot more barriers but you need to be positive and don’t give up easily. That is my best suggestion!
Total Amount Earned in November: $1448.75

I only made a little over a dollar.
Now to go back and figure out why it was so low.

I think I broke a hundred but thats only because I won a contest on this site. My real cash is around 2 or 3 bucks. I would love to make 1500. Thats my total goal and would love to find ways to get there faster but there just don’t seem to be enough hours in the day to do everything.

$1327 in this short period… I just can’t believe it… you even had to change the domain in between… you even didn’t finish spending your $100 investment budget…
please do a digest post on this…

Jalaj, what do you want me to “digest” just ask here

It seems that there’s more to the case study. I better read on.
Googlelady, your Amazon earnings makes me want to try this program out.

@GoogleLady -
I am not sure… but one thing is for sure that I will follow your guidance with a new blog in the beginning of the year.

@Teejay: I think amazon is a great affiliate program and better on November, December and January (After researching that affiliate program).
@Jalaj: Why waiting? If this case study is ongoing you can ask me questions, some doubts, opinions, some new ideas… There still 6 more weeks (week 6 will be tomorrow)

December 4th, 2007 at 12:52 pm
Overlock, Is not luck but is making it work. You can do it and anyone can do it believe me!

GoogleLady,
How have you picked the products that you promoted on Amazon, CJ and Buy.com? I think that learning your thought process on how to pick products to promote would really help me.
What do you think about promoting Amazon products on Squidoo? Any tips for what you think would work?

Hey Fred,
I usually check the Amazon’s bestseller or keyword research (for example, Laptops and see which laptops are people searching):

Thanks. That is a good tip. Any advice on Squidoo?
February 28th, 2008 at 10:20 pm
I will try Squidoo but not for money for building backlinks
I think Squidoo are for those people that don’t have the money to buy their hosting and domain name, is a waste of time to build your unique content on squidoo and earn just few cents.
