Has anyone here ever had any success the one or more of the Amazon Affiliates programs? I signed up a few months ago and include them on my blog but I have not made any sales yet.

I have had an affiliate with them for some time now and not any success. It seems a lot of people book mark things and add them to wish lists, instead of clicking through my link.

Chris, our article on monetizing your blog can give you some clues on how to increase your income from affiliate schemes.

Having the affiliate scheme alone on your blog is not enough to generate money. You will also need to drive traffic to your site. Our guidelines will make sure that you can do so effectively.

I've had a tiny bit of success, mostly from some friends who order off and on and they always try to go through the link, so every few months I'll get something.

Thank you for posting this Lorenz. Also, that reminds me Orrymain, I should be reminding my family and friends to shop through my link. I always forget to mention it to them.

Anybody interested in making money from blog...must really read, understand and execute the 15 steps Lorenz talks about. It is not as difficut as it seems but it is not easy either...takes dedicated effort...
