Why don't I earn frrom Amazon?
I have 15 clicks but no earning.
Don't be too anxious about the money. That takes time. Concentrate on good hub presentations and wait to be surprised. Also remember that although your readers may get information about the product on Amazon, they may find it elsewhere at a cheaper price. Still, I hope you'll eventually begin to earn. Good luck!
Last month I had 40 clicks and 0 buys this month already crossed 50 clicks. But, 4 months ago with just 12 clicks I had 2 sales.
I'm right there with you. I'm finally starting to get clicks, but 0 purchases. Ah well. Hopefully it will come in due time!
Nare, you need to have actual sales on Amazon before you get any earnings. I believe that with Ebay you get some income for clicks, but I have never used Ebay apart from very briefly on one hub.
As for why people aren’t buying off Amazon from your hubs, I wish I knew as I have yet to have my first Amazon sale, and I’ve been on HubPages nearly a year. Someone told me that it took a year for him to get his first sale and then after that he has one every month. So it will happen!
Thanks Melovy, you really answered my question. I just didn't know that Amazon didn't pay for clicks but only for sales
I've been using Amazon since I signed up for HubPages last year, and have only sold a handful of items ...the $$ I earned from them wouldn't even be enough to buy a bottle of beer.
I don't worry about it. It's a nice idea in theory that someone will be so moved by my comments on the film "Mega Shark Vs. Giant Octopus" that they'll click on the Amazon link and buy a copy of the DVD, but obviously it doesn't happen very often.
I am still new, but I haven't had any amazon sales yet either. hopefully at some point they will come!
because nobody bought any stuff using through those links. Amazon links are different compared to Adsense links

I got my first amazon earnings from hubpages today. Only a couple of dollars, but nice to see it was working. It answered a question I had --do I earn only for the product clicked on or for anything the person who clicks buys after clicking. It is apparently the latter which is how it works on my...

Some of my hubs, I do include Ebay capsules that are related to my hubs but I had not earn a single cent nor a single click nor any impression from Ebay. Do I need to key in anything in the Ebay capsules like the ID? May I know what went wrong?

I changed over to the HP Amazon program as soon as I could, mainly so I could get paid through paypal rather than by cheque.By now I've had 256 click throughs to Amazon and ………1 item ordered (!!!). That's a conversion rate of less than 0.5%.Before switching my conversion rate was 4.5% (440 clicks,...
