What to Expect From Amazon Earnings
Hello Everyone,
After joining the Amazon program and placing relevant Amazon capsules in each hub, what should one expect? How long does it take for traffic to show on the Amazon report? How long does it take for the first earnings to happen, and what's a realistic amount to expect? Is it more or less lucrative than the HubPages ad program?
Thanks everyone for sharing your experiences!
Amazon reports are updated daily, usually by noon EST. Sometimes they lag for a few days, but not often. You'll see your total clicks and sales (if any) and have a bunch of options for sorting out different reports. If you have activity today, you'll see it in your reports tomorrow.
You can potentially make a lot more with Amazon that you will with the HP ad program, but you can't just slap Amazon ads on your Hub and expect to sell. That doesn't work. It takes a bit of effort to figure out how to use the Amazon module correctly, and how to write Hubs that sell products. You need to post highly relevant products, and you need to write on topics you know a lot about so you can make good recommendations to the reader.
Stay focused on finding the best products for your readers, do a lot of research, don't be spammy and you can do very well with Amazon here. Good luck! $$$

I have been using amazon capsules in my articles for some time but have made almost nothing from them. When I checked my earnings settings to sign up for the new Amazon earnings via Hub Pages, it said my Amazon was inactive! What am I missing here? I have activated the new one,...

With the cut in commission rates I fully expected to see a big drop in earnings. It hasn't happened, though - my Amazon earnings are nearly what they were in Nov. of last year - because the sales are way up.Are others seeing this, or am I just lucky? Did something happen that Amazon is...

Is there a problem with Amazon earnings? Usually there is a message reporting the reason for any delays but although ads program earnings have been reported as normal, Amazon is still pending since Monday.
