Some Amazon shops are removing bestseller products on Friday but put back on Monday (why?)

For Cyber Monday, maybe?

That leather bed is a room, all by itself.

Need to earn $146 over next 2 days for Nov. target

Best of luck! If Amazon ships the rest of your orders, you could make it.

Best of luck! If Amazon ships the rest of your orders, you could make it.

It's getting close, 36 hours left !!
At the start of November I chose $3k because

1. It will be very difficult ..
   
2. .. but not impossible

Now I repeat this formula every time

1. Calculate realistic goal (difficult & not impossible)
   
2. Set the date (30-day challenge)
   
3. Create plan (day-2-day, tasks & time --> add in calendar, w/alerts)
4. Be focused & follow plan

Sometimes I will start to change the plan & start testing new ideas during challenge, but it's not good, best to finish the challenge just like original plan

Breakeven (month)....$2,000 ($2,988 so far)
Target (2020)............$10,000 ($6,360 so far)

Notes

• 99.6% of November target ($3k) is complete with 24 hours remain, most things I did you can read in this thread, if its not post your question
  
• December 2020 new target is $4k (so it will be $10k since I started affiliate marketing journey in summer), its hard target ($1,000/week) but I will try every day before New Year fireworks
  
• One customer spend < $1,000 on ski clothes Friday, one order = $40 earned (4% commission)
• Half Amazon orders shipped today (from fri./sat./sun.), (45 still waiting)
  
• Launched 4 new sites, have now 6 sites on 6 networks, now have only 40 minutes/site/day, so will automate everything possible
• 1st commission payments is coming this week, had some small payments before but this is 1st time $1,000+

News

Many affiliate blogs & podcasts have gone quiet during peak sales, so there will probably be alot of new content coming in next 24-48 hours

Google posted November Search News video last week

Edit: Notes from video

• New Google team --> blog.google/web-creators
• Google still working on removed indexing tool (no date), so when I add new content it ALWAYS goes on homepage & in the global header or footer (then Google finds in on the next crawl from updated XML sitemap)
• There is Wordpress plugin called Google Web Stories, haven't tried it yet maybe in 2021
• Google Core Web Vitals algorithm update is May 2021, there is from Aleyda Solis Core Web Vitals spreadsheet tools

Waiting to book virtual ticket to Affiliate Summit West (Feb. 2-4, 2021, Caesar's Forum, Las Vegas), you can sign up to newsletter for updates because tickets are not on sale yet, hope there will be many live Q and A sessions, found & read Feedfront magazine (summer edition), the website has interesting topic list (using it on YouTube for learning) -->

Affiliate Marketing Diary 2020

Spoiler

Affiliate Marketing Definitely Works

I lost my job due to Covid-19 and I have no other source of money so I started my affiliate marketing journey in lockdown with $25 invested in a domain name and hosting

Before I started I read in lots of place that affiliate marketing doesn't work so I decided to try it for 6 months full time 100% effort and see what happens

• Start date: August 2020
  
• Budget: $25
• Target: $100 a day by Christmas
• Niche: Clothing/fashion
• Commission range: 5-10%
• Traffic source: Google organic search

Month #1 Target

• $40 daily commission
• $1200 monthly commission

Month #1 Results

• $25 daily commission
• $750 monthly commission
• Visits: 30k
  
• Views: 85k
• Revenue: $12k

Month #2 Target

• $60 daily commission
  
• $1800 monthly commission

Wow.. excellent. Congratulations. I've tried working on two companies affiliate marketing. Per day, I'm posting 5 posts in forums. So far I was successful in generating 600 clicks, but no sales. Request you to offer your advice. Is it the blogging that works for affiliate marketing or only forum posting? With much appreciation & kind regards,

For volume and scaling I must to learn data feed integrations, if you know about this or want to learn please message to data feed integration thread started by @Graybeard

Actually I am finding more shareasale vendors with datafeeds ... I am looking for currently updated feeds as the vendor is curating their content and is serious about it --and the EPC and average conversion rates are shown (assuming they are accurate).
found this the other day --good ad leader maybe?

Watch product video and use what the demonsrtation man talks about for your product description

(I am not connected to affiliate link in video description)

 

[AmNovice]

you need to create landers for all variation of the product

landers or content sites? landers are the way to go if you are buying traffic, but for Google organic, isn't a content site more suitable?

 

[Graybeard]

<?php


$line ="a|b|c|d|e";
$feedarray = explode ("|" , $line);

echo $feedarray[0]  . "<= first<br>\n";

shareasale/tomtop$ php feed_array.php
returns:
a<= first<br>
CSV feeds use a delimiter. | was chosen to allow , (commas)to be used in the text
so it's a simple explode (split) the line's values from a line into an array and then echo or print the array => element =>"value" into an HTML format on a .php page.
echo $feedarray[1] . "<= second<br>\n"; //or 'b'

echo $feedarray[2] . "<= third<br>\n"; //or 'c'

First you have to find the right line

MySQL query will work; or,
preg_match in php might work
MySQL is more flexible and easier to find if (WHERE) and some text variables and (BETWEEN) price ranges.

Do you embed You Tube videos? Product videos make big difference

Do you make your own YT videos for your products or are you embedding/sharing other videos by other people that are reviewing the same product you are promoting?
