Earning Money As An Amazon Affiliate Is Easy With Hubpages

And I mean that sincerely. You see, over the years I spent lots of time banging my head against the wall as I was trying to learn how to make money on the web. I even did Multi Level Marketing for a while. And I had some success.

I also learned very quickly that there are lots of people out there willing to teach you how to make money but only if you pay them for the information. And these "Guru's" teach about how you need to find a niche and have your own website. And of course, you need to have a domain name and then learn how to get traffic with SEO.

This all just seemed way overwhelming to me and I really didn't have any money to invest. And it is a good idea if you have a website you should have a domain. But I didn't have a clue how to set up a website on my own and I didn't have to money to pay someone to do it for me.

So I decide to figure out Affiliate marketing on my own and read all the "free" information that I could find online. And through this reading up on affiliate marketing, I read an article about making money by writing reviews.

And I discovered that there were free sites like Hubpages where a person could write an article or review about a product that I loved. As an Amazon affiliate, I could share the link to the product. And if someone clicked the link to that product and purchased it, I would make a commission. That sounded really neat. I was really excited.

So this is how I started earning money with Amazon.

So I started writing at Hubpages. At first I didn't really make any money. But then, as I became a better writer and learned through trial and error what the best products were for my hubs, I started to see that I was getting clicks to my products and better yet earning some extra cash.

What I did was write reviews on products that I have used in the past and that I knew I would buy again. What happened was I found that the writing became easier since I was writing about my own experiences. And Then I started to see people began buying those same products that I was recommending. Now I usually sell at least one product a day as an Amazon Affiliate. Yesterday I sold 8 items.

update: My best Amazon Day was December 15th with 46 items sold as an Amazon Affiliate.

Now it didn't happen over night. And it takes work. But using free websites like Hubpages really is so much easier than making your own website from scratch and then trying to generate traffic. I mean Hubpages already gets great traffic and it's free so I think writing at Hubpages is a real no brainer.

I love Hubpages and as I stated above there are many advantages. But there is also a few disadvantages that you need to consider. One of those is that you don't have control over your pages. What I mean by this is that if Hubpages doesn't like your hub, they can un-publish it.

It really isn't a big deal. What Hubpages are wanting is quality content. Not a bunch of affiliate links.

But if you want more control, you can set up your own website. This is what I started doing a few years ago when Hubpages lost its rankings with Google. Now I have several niche websites that bring me in extra income.

Yes,l I'm still at Hubpages but move of the money I bring in comes from my own self hosted websites.
